Justin Long has found comfort in the arms of Kirsten Dunst following his split from Drew Barrymore, it's claimed.

Last week Drew's rep confirmed that the couple had gone their separate ways, with friends describing Justin as “heartbroken” over the break-up of their 10-month romance.

However, a week in Hollywood is a long time – and apparently enough to mend a broken heart.

Justin and Kirsten have been hanging out together and looking very close, according to new report.

"Justin was holding Kirsten's hand while walking around downtown NYC in the SoHo area," an eyewitness tells OK!.

"They stayed out all night and Kirsten was all over him and kept leaning in to kiss him."

A pal of Justin's insists that the pair are just good friends and that Kirsten is merely consoling her pal through his break-up - although she does have a "crush" on him.
