Morgan Freeman has reportedly dumped his step-granddaughter for another young girlfriend.
The 74-year-old actor shocked the showbiz world a few years ago when his relationship with E'Dina Hines was exposed. Morgan reportedly began dating E'Dinau00a0-- now 29u00a0-- when she was just a teen, and when the story broke, Morgan did not deny the claims.
However, it seems he has moved on from that relationship to a younger Filipino woman.
"Morgan rang in the New Year by planting a passionate kiss on his new gal Ellie, who's an accountant in Los Angeles," a source said.
Friends believe the relationship could be serious because Morgan also invited Ellie's mother and sister along. Morgan was having a great time. They kept kissing. They're definitely an item."
