Mischa Barton 'Officially' Announcing Her Boy, Luke Pritchard

"The O.C." actress, Mischa Barton, wanted the public to know that she is currently in love with the lead vocalist of British band The Kooks, Luke Pritchard. The 22-year-old-actress clarified the news at her official website, confirming her new lover and commenting on an alleged love triangle between the couple and a club promoter, Tom Wright.

"I'm sure you've all heard the rumors about the alleged 'love triangle' between Luke Pritchard, Tom Wright and me, so I just wanted to take this opportunity to clear the air on this matter. There is not now, nor has there ever been a "feud" between the three of us; Tom is a close friend of mine and we hang out with a lot of the same people in London," she said.

Then she added, "If I'm dating anyone right now, it's Luke. Luke is an amazing guy and we enjoy spending time together, but we've only been seeing each other for a few weeks and we're taking it slow. I hope this clears things up for everyone."

Luke and Mischa began dating in December last year. At that time, according to sources, they were spotted at a special Christmas bash for trendy DJ collective Oh, Inverted World. "They were cuddling and kissing on a leather banquette at the Old Queens Head, a traditional pub in Islington," reported The Mirror.
