Gina Torres' new man is identified as 'cowboy type'

Gina Torres' mystery man has been revealed as entrepreneur Kevin Wright of Utah.

The actress, 48, was spotted kissing Wright during a lunch date in Studio City last week, just days before she confirmed her split from Laurence Fishburne after 15 years of marriage. 

It has been reported that Torres met Wright on a Southern California beach in the middle of August and they have been dating ever since.

'I think [Torres] finds in Kevin what she didn’t find in [Fishburne]. He’s the opposite of a Hollywood guy — he’s just a cowboy type. He’s an "I’m going to go ride my horse’" type of guy,' a source told Page Six.

The source continued to say that the two bonded over the fact that they both got out of long term relationships recently - Wright ended a 20-year marriage 2 years ago.

“I think when you’ve been married a long time and you become single, you look for someone that has what your ex was missing,' the source added.

Wright - a father of six - has worked as a real estate executive and has resided in Montana as well.

Gina released an official statement revealing the pair had quietly parted ways last year, just after the images of her kissing the unknown man were released.

The photos were snapped while the pair enjoyed lunch at outdoor LA eatery Sweet Butter cafe - with Gina's wedding finger noticeably lacking a ring. 

After the images surfaced online, Gina confirmed to People magazine: 'With heavy hearts, Laurence and I quietly separated and began the dissolution of our marriage in the early fall of last year.

'There are no bad guys here. Only a love story with a different ending than either one of us had expected.

'Happily, however, our family remains intact and we will continue to raise our daughter together with love and joy and awe. 

'As well as raise each other up with respect and love and the continued understanding that we’re in this together, if not side by side.' 

The report perhaps comes as less of a shock to those who'll note that Gina and Laurence have not been seen in public together since Christmas 2015.
