Jonah Hill has been spotted kissing a mystery brunette on the beach in Malibu, and appears to have split from his previous girlfriend, surfer Sarah Brady.
The sighting comes after Hill revealed last week that he will be taking a step back from the spotlight in order to 'protect' his mental health after a 20-year struggle with anxiety attacks, which he says were 'exacerbated' by his public appearances.
Hill, 38, was last seen at a public event with ex-girlfriend Brady in December last year, when they wore matching suits to promote his $75million Netflix movie Don't Look Up in New York City.
The Superbad actor rocked red swim trunks while his brunette beauty opted for a green bikini for their beach outing.

Earlier in the day, the couple enjoyed a walk along the beach with their adorable puppy.
Jonah had a white shirt paired with his red swim shorts while his new lady donned white shorts and a striped cropped sweater.
Their outing comes almost two weeks after Jonah revealed he was taking a step back from the spotlight in order to 'protect' his mental health after a 20-year struggle with anxiety attacks, which he says were 'exacerbated' by his public appearances.

The Oscar-nominated actor shared the news while announcing that he will be premiering a mental health-focused documentary called Stutz that he shot in secret with his therapist, and which sees Hill opening up about his anxiety issues.
He revealed that the movie will premiere 'at a prestigious film festival this fall', but noted that he will 'not be out there promoting this film, or any of his upcoming films' because he will be 'taking time off' in an effort to 'protect himself'.
As well as his own documentary, which Hill directed and stars in, the actor also has a new project for Netflix - comedy movie You People - that is due to premiere later this year.
In his statement, which was obtained by Deadline, Hill noted that his decision to take a break from showbusiness was prompted by his documentary, which brought him to 'the understanding that he has spent nearly 20 years experiencing anxiety attacks, which are exacerbated by media appearances and public facing events'.

'Through this journey of self-discovery within the film, I have come to the understanding that I have spent nearly 20 years experiencing anxiety attacks, which are exacerbated by media appearances and public facing events,' he said.
Noting that he is 'so grateful the film will make its world premiere at a prestigious film festival this fall', he went on: 'However, you won’t see me out there promoting this film, or any of my upcoming films, while I take this important step to protect myself.
'If I made myself sicker by going out there and promoting it, I wouldn’t be acting true to myself or to the film.'
Hill continued by acknowledging his position of great 'privilege', conceding that he is one of the lucky few who are able and can 'afford to take time off' without fear of losing their job or struggling to make ends meet.
'I usually cringe at letters or statements like this but I understand that I am of the privileged few who can afford to take time off,' he admitted. 'I won’t lose my job while working on my anxiety.'

The actor, who has appeared in dozens of movies over the past 18 years, did not say when he plans to return to the limelight, however he made clear to Deadline that he is not retiring from acting permanently.
He ended his statement by sharing his hope that his upcoming documentary will help to 'make it normal for people to talk and act on' their mental health struggles, saying: 'With this letter and with Stutz, I’m hoping to make it more normal for people to talk and act on this stuff.
'So they can take steps towards feeling better and so that the people in their lives might understand their issues more clearly.'
He concluded: 'I hope the work will speak for itself and I’m grateful to my collaborators, my business partners and to all reading this for your understanding and support.'
