Pete Doherty's new girlfriend is a "clean-living" teenage model.The troubled Babyshambles rocker - whose turbulent relationship with model Kate Moss ended last year - has reportedly been dating 19-year-old beauty Portia Freeman since last December after she watched him perform in London and went back to his Wiltshire home.Pete's friend said: "Portia is probably the best thing to happen to Pete. She is a very clean-living girl and not at all into drugs." The couple's budding romance began when they were introduced by Pete's ex-love Lisa Moorish - who has a four-year-old son Astile with the rocker.At the time Portia - who grew up in the affluent Surrey area of Weybridge - was dating musician Stuart Le Page, but she ended that relationship to begin one with the 28-year-old recovering drug addict.The friend added to Britain's Mail on Sunday newspaper: "Pete is trying to stick to a rehab programme and trying to stay clean. He is having regular counselling sessions and has been advised not to jump headfirst into a relationship. He wants to take things slowly."He really enjoys spending time with Portia, they love walking across the fields of the country estate where Pete lives."
