The 44 year old supermodel Elle Macpherson has been on a series of romantic dates with Vito Schnabel, who is the son of the acclaimed film director Julian Schnabel and they are said to be smitten with each other.

 

'One' says, "Everyone is buzzing about this. They make such a hot couple".

 

The couple are set to make their first public appearance together tonight when she collects an award for her lingerie collection at New York's Cipriani restaurant.

 

Last week, it was claimed Elle was dating war photographer Scott Douglas after offering him a shoulder to cry on following his split from her friend, the controversial British artist Tracey Emin.

 

However, whilst Douglas admitted his situation is "complex", he insisted he is just friends with the Australian beauty.

Elle split from Arpad Busson, her ex-fiancé and father of her children, in 2005.

 

Since their separation, Elle has been romantically linked to singer Bryan Adams, British actor Ray Fearon and Australian restaurateur David Evans.

 

Elle was previously married to fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon, whom she divorced in 1989.
