Emily Ratajkowski couldn't keep her hands off boyfriend Romain Gavras this week as they were snapped packing on the PDA in Rome.
The couple held hands and passionately kissed in the street while on their way to a romantic lunch date.
Emily looked completely with Romain – who has a history of seducing beautiful women.
The French director, 45, has a net worth $5million (£4million). He was born in Paris but his work on movies has seen him travel the world.
Romain, who is the son of Greek-French film director Costa-Gavras, has received rave reviews for his work, with his second film The World Is Yours screened at the Directors' Fortnight during the 2018 Cannes Film Festival.
Another film, Athena, had its premiere at the 79th Venice International Film Festival.

His latest film Sacrifice premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
The movie, which marks his English-language debut, stars Anya Taylor-Joy as a crazed zealot who plans to sacrifice three important people in order to save the world from destruction.
The star-studded cast also includes Chris Evans, Vincent Cassell, Salma Hayek, John Malkovich, Charli XCX, comedian Sam Richardson and rapper Yung Lean.
Romain has also directed several music videos, earning himself a Grammy nomination in 2013 for Jay-Z, Kanye West and Frank Ocean’s hit No Church in the Wild.
He also won a MTV Video Music Award in 2012 for M.I.A.’s Bad Girls.

It marks Emily's longest romantic relationship since her divorcé from movie producer Sebastian Bear-McClard in 2022.
Prior to dating Emily, Romain was in a relationship with singer Dua Lipa.
The couple split in 2023 after eight months of dating.
A source said at the time: 'Dua and Romain have gone their separate ways after a summer of love. She has blinkers on when it comes to her career and the pair ended the relationship before things turned sour.'

Dua appeared to reference the split a few months later in an interview where she stated: 'I’ve had breakups in my life where I felt like the only kind of breakup you could have was when things just ended really badly.
'Things ending in a nice way was such a new thing.… It taught me a lot.'
Dua then met British actor Callum Turner, with the pair recently marrying.
Romain has also dated The Voice Australia judge Rita Ora.
The pair began dating in 2020 and enjoyed a whirlwind romance that saw them jet off on exotic holidays in Ibiza and Corfu.
There were even engagement rumours sparked when Rita was seen wearing a huge rock on a her finger.
However, it hasn't meant to be and the couple broke up during the Covid lockdowns.
A spokesman for Romain told the Daily Mail at the time: 'Rita and Romain split up months ago because of difficulties with their respective work commitments. They remain close friends.'
While a source close to Rita said: 'Rita and Romain tried to make it work but they both agreed it wasn't meant to be.
'They remain close but it was simply impossible to maintain a relationship where they barely saw each other.
'And given both their busy schedules for 2021, the writing was very much on the wall towards the end of last year.'
Rita is now married to New Zealand film-maker Taika Waititi.

Despite his high-profile dating history, Romain has not spoken out about his exes, yet he did hint at past troubles when he referred to love being 'conflict'.
He was on the promo tour for his film Athena, which follows three siblings whose lives are thrown into chaos after the tragic death of their youngest brother in unexplained circumstances.
When asked why he was drawn towards the 'spectacle of violence and conflict,' Romain told Flaunt: 'All drama is conflict, you know?
Even if it’s a love story - it’s always about conflict. At the moment, I’m actually trying to self-analyze as to why I am drawn to this type of imagery, and I think it’s to do with what I was raised on.
'I was mostly fed with Greek tragedy and Greek myths, and they’re extremely violent, and full of strong iconography...
'For me, every conflict has the same patterns, and whether it’s now, or from past, it is essentially the same. It’s always a movement towards chaos, because rage blinds everything; rage blinds reason.'
