They’ve been going for quiet romantic dinners in Paris and just enjoying each other and having fun. It’s been a very healing thing for her.

VANESSA Paradis has a new boyfriend.

The singer-and-actress, who announced in June she had split from Johnny Depp after 14 years together, has reportedly embarked on a romance with millionair­e French businessma­n Guy-David Gharbi after first meeting on a flight from Los Angeles to Paris in May.

A source close to Johnny and Vanessa, who have kids Lily-Rose, 13, and Jack, 10, together, said the relationsh­ip coming to an end had been tough on both.

“What they care about more than anything is remaining a close family because their two kids are and always will be their main priority,” the source said.

“But Vanessa and Guy-David have become close over the last few months and even though they are still taking things slowly, they are dating now. Guy-David’s made his feelings clear for Vanessa but told her he’s happy to give her all the time she needs.

“They’ve been going for quiet romantic dinners in Paris and just enjoying each other and having fun. It’s been a very healing thing for her.”

Johnny, who was romantical­ly linked with actress Amber Heard following his split from Vanessa, is said to have given his blessing to his former partner’s new relationsh­ip and he is pleased she has found happiness.

The source added to The Sun newspaper: “Guy-David’s put a smile back on Vanessa’s face, she looks younger and is even singing and writing songs again.”
