Outlander star Sam Heughan's new girlfriend: Everything we know about the mystery brunette

This week, Outlander star Sam Heughan was spotted in New York locking lips with a stunning mystery brunette and many have been left wondering who the lucky lady is.

The 41-year-old actor plays Jamie Fraser in the STARZ hit show and is best known for his intense connection with on-screen wife Claire Fraser.

But fans have always wondered if Sam had his own real-life Claire and now, it seems that he does!

Sam was pictured walking down the sidewalk with the stunning brunette and the pair looked caught off guard as they faced the paparazzi.

But who is the stunner that appears to have stolen Mr Heughan's heart? Here's what we know...

Who is Sam Heughan's new love interest?

Sam was spotted in New York with Australian model Monika Clarke.

Despite being Australian, Monika currently resides in New York and shares her life on Instagram, which boasts 205,000 followers.

She often shares stunning snaps of herself.

Monika also owns her own jewellery business called My Verite.

The jewellery is made from natural, high-quality gems from the mines of Zambia.

My Verite has a store located on Fifth Avenue.

Monika is also represented by Wilhelmina modelling agency, which is one of the leading agencies in the world.

They also represent a series of A-list celebrities such as Nicki Minaj, Demi Lovato, Machine Gun Kelly, Shawn Mendes, Billie Eilish, and Nick Jonas.

Speaking previously in an interview with DMARGE in October 2020, Monika told them exactly what she's looking for in a man.

She said: “Humor is a big thing for me. And someone who appreciates sarcasm,” the model explained. “Also: a man who is humble and can always have an interesting conversation. Confidence without arrogance. A man who makes his woman feel appreciated and respected.”

She also revealed that she’d prefer a partner who is a bit more off the grid. She said: “It shows that social media is not of importance to his personal life and leaves him being a lot more present in time."

She added: “Social media is part of my job, and some men are attracted to a girl purely based on her following, which I find shallow."

Whilst Sam definitely is anything but 'off the grid' we think the pair make a sweet couple and we wish them all the best!
