On a recent shopping trip in New York 35-year-old Nicole couldn't keep her hands off the musician, according to onlookers.
One said: "They were walking hand in hand and Nicole just did not want to let go. She kept hold of him all the time. She had a big smile on her face and seemed really happy.
"Whenever they stopped in the aisles she would wrap her arms around him. They just couldn't bear to be apart.
"She's one of the world's most famous stars but she didn't seem too bothered about who saw them together.
"She has had a difficult couple of years but she looked radiant."
Nicole, nominated for a Golden Globe for her role as Virginia Woolf, was introduced to Q-Tip by Leonardo DiCaprio. They sparked rumours of a romance when he turned up the US premiere of her latest film The Hours.

She introduced him as "my guest" and refused to comment on the relationship. But she clearly didn't need words to explain her feelings for the singer on their shopping spree.

The mother of two adopted children, she admitted the split left her so depressed she once curled up on the floor and sobbed: "I can't go on."
Nicole told recently how she would love to meet a new man. She said: "I want to do my work, raise my kids and hopefully share my life again."
Q-Tip, who changed his real name from Jonathan Davis to Kamaal Fareed, was given a conditional discharge in 2000 for attacking rapper Kenrick Miranda in a record store row.
