Russell Brand’s new girlfriend is Hungarian model, Nikolett Barabas (VIDEO | 8 PICS)

New romance: Hungarian model Nikolett Barabas is now dating Russell Brand

Recent divorcee Russell Brand's 'mysterious' new squeeze has been identified as Hungarian model Nikolett Barabas.

Onwards and upwards, eh Russ?

The UK comedian has been photographed out and about with the brunette beauty a number of times in recent weeks and he even took her to meet his mum on Sunday. But up until recently, nobody knew her name.

The new love interest is a 32-year-old actress and model who's making a name for herself in the US after signing with Wilhelmina Models in New York, making appearances in the movies Magic Boys and Contagion and starring in an action-packed Tomb Raider-style Motorola ad.

Russ was briefly dating artist Oriela Medellin after his split from wife Katy Perry, but apparently things are far more serious with Nikolett.
