The mother-of-one – who was recently rumored to be dating Brad Pitt, 58 – looked chic in a black, off-the-shoulder top, matching slacks, and red boots, as she chatted with her companion, before the pair climbed onto his motorbike and headed off together.
Orazio is the son of realtor Giampiero Rispo, who serves as the founder and president of residential brokerage Domus Realty – which specializes in selling ‘luxury real estate in New York City.’
His dad is also the director of an undergarment company called BANDEBRA – which sells ‘natural, organic, comfortable, and sexy alternatives to bras.’
It was reported by one Instagram account that Orazio is cousins with GCDS designer Giuliano Calza, who boasts a slew of celebrity friends including Dua Lipa, Nicola Beckham-Peltz, and Elsa Hosk.
Guliano attended the September wedding of Orazio’s brother, which Orazio officiated.
The artist is a registered democrat and studied political science at Columbia University.
He wore a green jacket over a yellow tee for the outing with Emily, which he paired with a pair of loose, gray jeans and black sneakers.
The apparent new couple were seen dining at an outdoor restaurant, where they laughed and smiled as they enjoyed their food and some cocktails; Emily was even pictured lovingly touching his face during the date night.
It’s unclear how or when Emily and Orazio first met, but it appears that they’ve known each other for a while, as it was reported that they were seen grabbing dinner together during Milan Fashion Week last September.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Emily’s representatives for comment.

News hit the web that Emily had split from her husband of four years, Sebastian, in July.
At the time, it was reported that the model had made the decision to leave her film producer husband, 41, over claims that he was a ‘serial cheater.’ A source told Page Six at the time, ‘It’s gross. He’s a dog.’
Comedian and social media influencer Claudia Oshry also spoke out about the situation during an episode of The Morning Toast podcast, in which she claimed Sebastian’s infidelity was an open secret in the industry.
‘It’s, like, known that her husband has cheated on her and they’re filing for divorce,’ she said, adding that when the couple officially confirms their separation, it will not come as a surprise to anyone.
Emily, who shares a one-year-old son with Sebastian, named Sylvester Apollo Bear, then filed for divorce in September.
In the wake of her divorce proceedings, there had been talk that Emily was involved in a romance with Brad, but she seemed to shut these rumors down with her very public display of affection with Orazio.
In late August, OK magazine claimed that Brad was getting close to Emily, with a source explaining: ‘He asked her out, and she said yes. She’s always thought Brad was cute, and the way she saw it, what did she have to lose?’

But a separate insider told People magazine earlier this month that while the two stars were ‘having fun’ together, it wasn’t anything serious.
‘The split was very rough for her,’ the source stated. ‘It was unexpected and devastating. It’s the perfect timing right now. There is nothing like Brad Pitt cheering you up.’
Emily and Sebastian, who is best known for producing movies Uncut Gems, Good Time, and Funny Pages, were first linked on Valentine’s Day in February 2018 – one month after news had hit the web that she had split from her boyfriend Jeff Magid after three years together.
At the time, the pair was spotted packing on the PDA in Los Angeles, California. It’s unclear how they met, but an insider told Us Weekly at the time that they had known each other ‘for years.’
Just days after their first spotting, news hit the web that they had tied the knot in a New York City courthouse on February 23, 2018.
Emily then confirmed the news via Instagram, writing, ‘Sooo, I have a surprise, I got married today.’

She later told Jimmy Fallon on his show, The Tonight Show, that she only took ’30 seconds’ to decide she wanted to marry the producer.
‘I thought about it for about 30 seconds,’ she joked. ‘It was a city hall courthouse wedding. I guess I didn’t know what I always wanted to do, which is maybe why it was so untraditional.’
They made their red carpet debut in March of that year, while attending the 33rd Annual Film Independent Spirit Awards together, and the two looked like the epitome of marital bliss at the event.
‘Emily looked so in love with her husband. She kept staring at him, smiling and was touching his face a lot,’ an onlooker told E! News. ‘Emily rested her head on his shoulder and looked truly happy.’
Their four-year romance was plagued with scandal and controversy, starting with the fact that they had wed after only a few days together.
The pair received a lot of backlash online for the whirlwind romance, and Emily later defended their decision to get married so quickly, explaining during an appearance on Busy Tonight that their relationship had been building for a long time before they started dating.

‘We knew each other for a long time before,’ she explained. ‘He likes to joke, “Yeah everyone thinks we got married quickly, but you vetted me for two years.”‘
Neither Emily nor Sebastian have made any public comments in regards to the status of their marriage as of yet. They were last spotted together in mid-June while on vacation in Italy, and appeared in good spirits as they relaxed on Porto Ercole beach together.
The couple was also among the many celebrity guests at Ari Emanuel’s wedding to Sarah Staudinger in St. Tropez in late May.
She first sparked breakup rumors in July, when she was seen going for a stroll in New York with the couple’s son, and was not wearing her wedding ring.
