Laurence Fishburne was spotted while taking a walk with Petra Richterova and Gregory Colbert in New York City on Monday afternoon.

The 61-year-old actor appeared to be making the most of his time with the filmmaker and their mutual friend as he held her hand while they stepped out into the city's streets.

The cast member of The Matrix, who will star alongside Emma Roberts in an upcoming sci-fi movie, finalized his divorce from his wife of nearly two decades, Gina Torres, in 2018. 

Fishburne wore a puffy black zip-up jacket on top of a crewneck sweater during his outing.

The Apocalypse Now actor added elements of color to his look with salmon-colored pants and dark green shoes.

The Academy Award-nominated performer finished off his look for the day with a graphic-printed cap.

Richterova opted for a jet-black leather jacket and vibrantly patterned pants as she spent time with the actor.

Fishburne and Torres, 53, previously tied the knot in 2002 after they had become engaged the year prior.

The actor was formerly married to Hajna O. Moss, whom he divorced in the 1990s. 

The former couple welcomed a son named Langston, 35, and a daughter named Montana, 31, over the course of their marriage.

The What's Love Got to Do With It star eventually moved on with Torres, and they welcomed a daughter named Delilah, aged 15, in 2007.

However, Fishburne and his former wife went on to separate in 2017, although their split was not announced until the following year. 

The latter provided a statement to USA Today through her representative to expand on the reason behind the end of her marriage at the time.

'There are no bad guys here. Only a love story with a different ending than either one of us had expected,' she said. 

Torres went on to express that she was committed to co-parenting Delilah along with Fishburne. 

'Our family remains intact and we will continue to raise our daughter together with love and joy and awe. As well as raise each other up with respect and love and the continued understanding that we're in this together, if not side by side,' she said. 

The performers' divorce was eventually revealed to the public in May of 2018.

Fishburne went on to speak about his love life to Page Six during last year's Tribeca Film Festival. 

The Black-ish cast member expressed that, although he was interested on seeing new people, he had not met anybody that he had considered dating at the time.

'Eventually I would like to date, but there is nobody in particular on my radar,' he said.
