They were first spotted having lunch together at the Mustard Seed Cafe in Los Feliz last February.

Now four months later, Zachary Quinto and his reported boyfriend Jonathan Groff were seen laughing and smiling as they strolled through New York's trendy West Village neighbourhood yesterday.

After the 35-year-old Star Trek star and Glee actor, 27, grabbed grub at Au Bon Pain, they conscientiously took turns holding their take-out bag.

Unshaven Zachary tried to remain incognito in his camouflage baseball cap, which he paired with a blue striped T-shirt and coral jean cut-offs.

Meanwhile, Groff chatted on his cell phone while dressed in a very basic green T-shirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers.

According to Perez Hilton, the rumoured couple attended the opening night of Shakespeare's As You Like It at Central Park's Delacorte Theater together later that same evening.

Zachary tweeted: 'as you like it. i like it. @susan_blackwell chose valencia for me…', sharing a picture of the view from his seat with his followers.

Following the play's afterparty, Hilton's source spotted the pair with their arms around each other seeming 'very happy and very hot' at the corner of 81st and Central Park West.

Jonathan first gained fame originating the role of Melchior Gabor in the stage musical Spring Awakening before appearing as Jesse St. James in the musical Fox series Glee.

The Margin Call star was once linked with Modern Family's Jesse Tyler Ferguson, while Jonathan used to date Gavin Creel, whom he co-starred with in the Tony-winning Hair revival.

In fact, Creel was there when Jonathan first decided to come out at The National Equality March in Washington, D.C. three years ago, declaring to a Broadway reporter that he was 'gay and proud.'

However, Zachary took his time to reveal his own sexuality last October following the tragic suicide of 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer.

Quinto is savouring his spare time before the second season of American Horror Story begins filming.

Late last month, Zachary wrapped filming J.J. Abrams' yet-to-be-titled sequel to Star Trek.

He tweeted: ''goodbye spock. it's been real,' sharing a picture of his shorn black hair on the salon floor.

Getting in character: Quinto reprises his fan-favourite character Mister Spock in
the sequel released May 17 of next year


Past pictures from the set have seen the half-Vulcan Mister Spock in fights scenes with a new villain played by Sherlock Holmes star Benedict Cumberbatch and being lowered on a wire wearing a 'volcano suit.'

The American Horror Story star did not grow up watching the series, so when Leonard Nimoy hand-picked Quinto to play Spock in the 2009 remake the two became fast friends.

Quinto, who had to bind his fingers with clear tape to train for the famous Vulcan greeting, shaved his thick eyebrows, cut his hair into a bowl cut, and wore Spock's iconic pointy ears to reprise the fan-favourite character in this sequel released May 17 of next year.

but original Spock Leonard Nimoy hand-picked Quinto for the reboot


Also returning is Chris Pine as Captain James T. Kirk, Zoe Saldana as Nyota Uhura, and Simon Pegg as Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott.

Zachary will star alongside Topher Grace and Luke Wilson in a thriller called The Invitation, which will also be released next year.
Jonathan will next be seen in a theatre documentary called The Standbys, which premieres at the Seattle International Film Festival next month.

David Hyde Pierce, Bebe Neuwirth, and Cheyenne Jackson are also featured in the doc.
