Penn, 47, and Nemcova, 28, showed up together at the Elton John AIDS Foundation screening party Sunday night after the Oscars. Penn did a few interviews and Nemcova was spotted posing for pics, but the two eventually caught up again. Penn wrapped his arm around the model and the two posed for a few pictures. Neither would comment on whether or not they are dating, but Nemcova said, "Yes, we are friends. He is on the advisory board of my charity."

Penn and Nemcova have reportedly been spending a lot of time together lately. The night before the Oscars, Penn and Nemcova reportedly spotted looking cozy at Villa in Los Angeles. Both are recently single and available. Penn announced his separation from wife Robin Wright Penn after 11 years of marriage shortly after Christmas. Both Penn and Wright Penn cited "irreconcilable differences" in the divorce papers. The couple is reportedly seeking both joint and physical custody of their children – 14-year old Hopper Jack and 16-year old Dylan Frances. Wright Penn has reportedly been spotted with ex-beau Jason Patric.

Nemcova’s fiancé, photographer Simon Atlee, was killed in Thailand in the 2004 tsunami. The couple had been vacationing when the tsunami hit. Nemcova was seriously injured suffering a broken pelvis and survived by hanging onto a palm tree for 8 hours. She met singer James Blunt in 2005 and the couple began dating the following year. They called it quits in February 2007. No reason was given for the split.
