Maverick director Quentin Tarantino has reportedly embarked on a romance, with the ex-lover of Britney Spears' husband Kevin Federline, Shar Jackson.
The pair were seen in Las Vegas together last weekend acting like a couple.
Onlookers at the restaurant Nobu tell Us Weekly they "held hands like a couple" and were "very touchy."
A spokesperson for Jackson insists they are just friends celebrating her mother's birthday.
Jackson was jilted by Federline -- the father of her two youngest children Kaleb and Kori -- when he began dating pop princess Spears, who is now expecting her first child with him, in April 2004.
