The blonde beauty went casual for the sporty excursion, donning a stylish black hoodie, while her golden tresses were worn in a high ponytail.

Wearing minimal makeup, she chatted seemingly non-stop with funnyman Jeff, who went equally casual in a V-neck blue T-shirt with a baker boy cap.

Among the other celebrities in attendance on the night were Jessica Chastain, Leslie Jones and former Entourage co-stars Jerry Ferrara and Kevin Connelly.

During a recent interview with Ocean Drive magazine, Charlotte admitted that when she was growing up in Orlando, Florida, she tended to have more male friends.

'Obviously I got more attention from the male side than from the female side,' she said. 'I didn’t have any girlfriends. A lot of my friends were guys, and I was called a slut by a lot of people.

'I was just growing these large breasts at such a young age, not really knowing what to do with them or how to wear them. So it was definitely awkward.'

In October, Us Weekly reported Charlotte and Scott Eastwood had embarked on a romance, with photos of the stars walking together in Malibu emerging soon afterwards.

However, the rumours were quickly quashed when a source disclosed there was nothing remotely romantic about the outing, or their relationship.

'They are definitely not dating,' a source close to Scott told Entertainment Tonight at the time. 'They've hung out a couple of times – they barely know each other yet. [It's] Nothing serious at all.' 

Charlotte had previously dated Blade actor Stephen Dorff, but their romance fizzled out over the summer. 

Three's company: Jessica seemed in great spirits on the night. Unsurprisingly so as she was in great company, with Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones chatting away with the pair

Page Six reported in July that she broke up with the Blade actor over his 'other women.'

'He was fooling around with other women,' a source told the news site. Charlotte has been dating Stephen for a while, but he carried on texting other women and inviting them over to his house on the beach in Malibu.'

The source added: 'July Fourth weekend... there were all these random people in his house. Charlotte has had enough of him.'

However, a separate source added that the pair had actually called it quits due to her busy movie schedule.
