Out in public: Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene went public with their romance as they strolled around Beverly Hills arm in arm yesterday

Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene are finally going public with their love.

The couple, who have been quietly dating for several months have always maintained that they are 'just friends'.

But yesterday they were spotted out and about in Beverly Hills walking with their arms wrapped around each other, and later holding hands.

And it seems that Joe knows exactly how to treat a girl to a perfect day out.
The two first went for some lunch before hitting the shops for a few hours of retail therapy.

Ever the gentleman, the 21-year-old singer was later seen carrying their many purchases to his waiting Porsche.

The couple then headed off to celebrate Joe's little brother Frankie's 10th birthday.
Rumours started about the couple dating after they were spotted together enjoying a romantic dinner at The Ivy in London back in July.

Ashley, 23, was in town to attend the premiere of Twilight, in which she starred as Alice Cullen, and Joe was there to support his brother Nick in his stage debut, appearing in Les Miserables.

Jonas had been dating teen sensation Demi Lovato whom he split from in May.
Hopefully they split on good terms though, as Lovato is currently touring with the Jonas Brothers.

Meanwhile, it seems things are starting to get serious between the Ashley and Joe.
E! News reports that Greene recently took Jonas home to meet her parents in Jacksonville, Florida.

And then there's the matter of the purity ring that Joe and his two brothers, Nick and Kevin vowed to wear as a symbol of chastity until they married.

U.S. magazine Life & Style reports that Joe has ditched his ring since hooking up with Greene.

They go on to quote a friend of the couple, who claims: 'When they're not travelling they are basically living together.'
