Mischa Barton: Meet My Boy Luke

Feb 10, 2009 at 10:16am

Mischa Barton has a new man in her life, Luke Pritchard, from the band the Kooks.

The OC actress, 22, brought clarity to her much discussed lovelife,  confirming her new boy on her website today.

“Luke is an amazing guy and we enjoy spending time together. But we’ve only been seeing each other for a few weeks so we’re taking it slow.”

The two were spotted getting cozy about London this winter, including a Christmas party cuddle at the Old Queens Head pub in North London.

While the entertainment press might have been right-on with that call, Barton is not happy with the story circulating that she was also stepping out with club promoter Tom Wright.

The second story started in Britain’s News of the World — the same paper that brought you the Phelps bong photo — and went viral from there.

“I’m sure you’ve heard the rumors about the alleged ‘love triangle’ between Luke Pritchard, Tom Wright and me,” she writes. “There is not now, nor has there ever been a fued between the three of us.”

“Tom is a close friend of mine and we hang out with a lot of the same people in London.”

  ”I hope that clears things up for everyone.”
