Button goes public with new girlfriend Brittny Ward

Jenson Button and his first post-divorce girlfriend Brittny Ward have gone public with regards to their relationship.

Ward, a 25 year old American model and Playboy Playmate, last week shared with her followers on her Instagram a photo of the two having fun on a beach.

This comes a few months since Button and Jessica Michibata split after one year of marriage and several years of dating.

A spokesperson for Button announced just before Christmas that "Jenson and Jessica have decided to go their separate ways and it is very amicable."

And added, "There is no one else involved."

At the time The Sun reported that, Button - estimated to be worth $50 million - and Jessica did not have a prenuptial agreement, "Jenson and Jessica did not have any financial arrangement before their marriage."

"There are ongoing discussions between them about money, but it’s too early to say how it will pan out."
