The actress, 44, was spotted packing on the PDA with a new beau two years after announcing her separation from her ex-husband, Marc Silverstein.
A photo obtained by PEOPLE showed Philipps and her new mystery man cozying up and walking with their arms wrapped around one another after having dinner with Michelle Williams. Philipps was dressed in a loose, plaid dress, and her mystery date wore black pants and a gray collared shirt.
At one point, the pair were also spotted kissing.
Philipps confirmed that she and Silverstein separated during a May 2022 episode of her podcast Busy Philipps Is Doing Her Best, noting that "when we first separated, it was, like, February of last year."

The former couple tied the knot in 2007 and share 15-year-old Birdie Leigh and 10-year-old Cricket Pearl.
In February, the Girls5Eva star told Entertainment Tonight that the two have been able to successfully co-parent their children, expressing, "I think that we just both understood, fundamentally, that we made a promise to each other and to our kids."
"Being able to communicate is important and necessary. And we weren't going to let any hurt feelings on our side affect how we can show up for what is essentially still a family," she added.

She told PEOPLE in March that her fans helped make the experience "really fun and funny."
"So many people came and were fans from all kinds of things, but it was really nice to talk to the people that showed up and hear and see the things that they were picking out that they wanted," Philipps said. "Some people were just like, 'Oh, I just really wanted that bowl,' not that it even mattered that it was my bowl necessarily, but they were just excited about the bowl. The whole experience was really fun."
