Chiwetel Ejiofor and model flame Frances Aaternir enjoy courtside date night at the Knicks game

Chiwetel Ejiofor and model flame Frances Aaternir look smitten as they enjoy courtside date night at the Knicks game

They've kept a relatively low profile since making their relationship debut in September. 
But Chiwetel Ejiofor and his model girlfriend Frances Aaternir enjoyed a rather public date night as they headed to the Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks basketball game at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sunday. 
The 12 Years A Slave actor, 38, looked like the cat that got the cream as he and the Australian beauty set grinning from ear-to-ear in their courtside seats.

The couple both dressed casually for the occasion, with Chiwetel keeping it comfortable in jeans and a white tee, which he teamed with a navy blue jacket. 
Pretty Frances looked stylish as he cheered on her favourite team in an all-black outfit, complete with a trendy leather jacket.
Wearing her brunette locks poker straight around her shoulders and accentuating her striking looks with natural make-up, the model looked pretty as a picture for her date night.

The catwalk beauty divides her time between London and New York, and is believed to have met the talented actor last year. 
The attractive couple first sent tongues wagging when they attended The Martian premiere together in New York in September 2015.
It came just a few weeks after Chiwetel split from his ex- Canadian actress, Sari Mercer. 
However, Frances has been coy about her seven month strong relationship and leaves no trace of the actor on her social media accounts.
