Quite the day for rumored romances.

First, it was A-Rod and Kate Hudson. Now, it's Hayden Panettiere and Steve Jones, who she's been linked to romantically of late, soaking up the sun while on break from the 2009 Cannes Film Festival this afternoon in Cannes, France.

Steve Jones is a British TV presenter ... personality ... something like that. Whatever he does for a living, he's looking downright giddy at the sight of Hayden. Here are the supposed new lovebirds enjoying the nice weather, and each other:

This is the second day in a row that Hayden Panettiere and Steve Jones, 19 and 32, respectively, have been spotted together on a boat on the French Riviera.

Hayden recently split from Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia, 31, and was said to have sucked serious face with Jesse McCartney shortly after that breakup.

Looks like she's moved on to better things.

Dating or not, these two sure look like they're having some fun in the Cannes sun. Click to enlarge more Steve Jones and Hayden Panettiere pictures ...
