The romance between cover girl Heidi Klum and Formula One boss Flavio Briatore seems to be hotting up faster than the supermodel's bronze bod in the Mediterranean sunshine.
In recent months, the jetsetting pair have been spotted everywhere from New York to St Tropez. And last week, Heidi and Flavio spent some quality time relaxing at the beach in Sardinia, where they first met at a dinner party hosted by designer Roberto Cavalli last August.
The 53-year-old millionaire, who dated catwalker Naomi Campbell for two years, has made no secret of his feelings for the German beauty. "Yes, we're a couple," he said recently. "I was very lucky to meet her."
Flavio has stepped out with some of the world's most stunning models, but his new girlfriend's portfolio apparently had nothing to do with the budding relationship. "I've never watched a fashion show in my life," he explained. "I'm just looking for a woman who's completely normal and who I can be happy with."
Heidi, 30, is awaiting a divorce from her husband of five years, hairstylist Ric Pipino, while Flavio has been a bachelor since splitting with wife Nina Cohen in 1998.
