Courtney Love has been seen for the first time since she was involved in a car accident where a vehicle she was in hit a bicyclist in Los Angeles last month.
Love and the driver left the scene in video seen by Daily Mail.
On Wednesday, the 61-year-old singer was also with the same man who was behind the wheel during the crash: Eden Galindo of Eagles of Death Metal Band.
Love wore her blonde hair down as she had a black sweater with blue jeans and Chanel ballet flats while holding two small dogs.
Galindo, 40, wore the same black leather jacket on the day of the crash as he added black jeans.
They were also in the same car: his black Dodge Charger.
It is not know if Love is dating Galindo or if they are merely friends. Daily Mail has reached out to Love's representative for comment.

The duo were shopping for flowers during the winter day.
In late February Love was caught up in a frightening collision with a bicyclist, just days after a private investigation questioned the suicidal ruling in Kurt Cobain's death.
Exclusive photos and video obtained by the Daily Mail show the Hole frontwoman sliding into the passenger seat of a friend's black Dodge sports car after leaving a Los Angeles nail salon.
As the driver attempted to exit the parking lot, the vehicle suddenly slammed on the brakes just as a bicyclist collided with the front panel.
The unidentified rider flipped upright mid-collision and landed on his feet. He calmly waved to the passengers before the car sped off from the scene.
This came after sources told the Daily Mail of Love's agony over the inquiry about her former husband, saying 'Now that there's another theory about how [Cobain] died, it feels like her own personal Groundhog Day.'

Meanwhile, the bike rider seemed completely unfazed, calmly shrugging off the collision.
'It was probably my fault,' he told the videographer filming nearby. When asked whether the car hit him, he replied, 'I hit the car.'
He went on to say he was 'all right' and 'just a bit shocked,' before adding, 'I'm just worried about my bits.'
When informed that Love had been riding in the passenger seat, the bicyclist jokingly pretended to faint, theatrically throwing himself backward in mock shock.
Asked whether he felt 'worse or better' knowing it was Love, he grinned and replied, ‘Much better.’
'I thought I hit their car; I thought I'd have to pay for the car,' he added. 'As long as their car is ok, I'm not injured.'

The incident comes amid renewed scrutiny over Cobain's death, a subject that has long haunted Love. The pair married in 1992 and shared daughter Frances Bean Cobain.
'Over the years and decades since Kurt's death, she has heard every story about his death - how it was her fault, just one misery after another,' the insider previously told the Daily Mail.
The Nirvana frontman died on April 5, 1994, at 27 years old, from a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head.
But a private team of forensic investigators recently revisited the case, reviewing autopsy reports and crime scene details.
They concluded that certain evidence could point to foul play rather than suicide.
Bryan Burnett, an independent crime scene reconstruction expert, highlighted inconsistencies in blood patterns, clothing and injuries to Cobain's mouth that, he said, didn't fit the typical suicide scenario.

The investigators theorized that Cobain may have been confronted by one or more individuals who forced a heroin overdose to incapacitate him before one of them shot him, staged the scene and left a forged suicide note.
Love, however, appears uninterested in entertaining alternative explanations. 'She would love Kurt to be able to rest in peace, but it looks like that will never happen,' the source explained. 'And as the years continue, it will be something else.
'Courtney is going to choose to honor him instead of reliving that horrible moment in her life, and not give it any [extra] life it doesn't need.'
Over the years, Love has faced relentless blame from fans who claim she played a role in Cobain's death, including unfounded theories that she hired a hitman to control his estate. She has repeatedly denied the claims.
In 2024, Love admitted she was unprepared for the intense backlash following the death.
Speaking to the Evening Standard, she reflected on the constant scrutiny. 'People used to say that I was so difficult. They said I was disagreeable,' she said. 'Yes, I am completely disagreeable and I'm never going to apologize for that.
'I always wanted to be known as a b***h. Being liked was never my thing. Kurt wanted to be liked, but not me.
'He was able to hide behind me, but then I got hated. Then Kurt died, and the hatred towards me reached a completely new level. I did not plan for that.'

In a 2011 Vanity Fair interview, Love admitted she is still furious over Cobain's death.
'If [Cobain] came back right now I'd have to kill him, for what he did to us,' she said. 'I'd f***ing kill him. I'd f*** him, and then I'd kill him. He tried to kill himself three times! He OD'd at least five times.'
Now sober and living in London since 2019, Love has faced her own struggles with addiction.
She is also the subject of the documentary Antiheroine, which chronicles her relationship with Cobain, her battles with substance abuse, and the media attention she has endured over decades.
Premiering at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, the film sees Love reflect on falling for Cobain while Hole toured with Nirvana in 1991.
'When you find somebody you really get along with and can be yourself with, it's easy,' she said. 'We knew we were in love, we knew we wanted to have a baby right away,' she added. 'The thing that got in the way was his need for total oblivion.'
