Scarlett Johansson is reportedly dating British musician Dan White.

The We Bought A Zoo actress met the Tribes guitarist when she was shooting in London recently and pals say the pair are smitten and determined to make their long distance relationship work.

A source told the Sunday Mirror: "They met in London recently. Scarlett was shooting the film 'Under The Skin' in the UK and they were introduced at a club night in town.

"They got on like a house on fire and Scarlett was into his band's music. There was an instant connection. They've been seeing each other for a good few weeks. Dan's proper happy about it- and what guy wouldn't be? He already thinks the world of Scarlett.

"Dan thinks she's an amazing girl. They both have incredibly busy lives but are going to see where things go. Dan's band Tribes is only just taking off and Scarlett has a lot of work on. So who knows?"

Although Scarlett split with husband Ryan Reynolds in December 2010, she admitted her union with the Green Lantern actor - who is currently dating Blake Lively - was the "best thing" she ever did.

She has previously said: "It was the best thing I ever did. I'm a big believer in instinct. Getting married was the right thing to do because it was natural. It grew out of romance and love and a desire to have a future with somebody, and I was very fortunate that I married somebody who turned out to be the person I thought he would be."
