Things are getting serious between Zooey Deschanel and her new man!

The gorgeous New Girl star attended the 2014 Emmy Awards with her producer-beau Jacob Pechenik, and the happy couple was all smiles as they cozied up to each other on the red carpet!

The brunette actress made a bold statement at the event in a bright pink, strapless Oscar de la Renta gown, while her date kept it simple in a dark gray tuxedo.

The PDA-friendly couple has been spotted spending a lot of quality time together in the last few weeks.

The smitten pair was snapped sharing an intense smooch after a recent lunch date at Sweetsalt restaurant in Toluca Lake, Calif., but rumors of a romance began swirling when an eyewitness spotted the duo at Café Aroma in Studio City, Calif., at the beginning of August.

They were "definitely acting like a couple," the source exclusively revealed to E! News. "She was smiling and laughing at the things he was saying" and "when they got up to leave, he put his arm around her and they walked out together."

Pechenik and the 34-year-old beauty are currently working together on her next film, Rock the Kasbah.
