The blonde beauty – who can next be seen in Aquaman – added black pointed boots that showed off her long, toned legs. She also had marks on her legs from her tight socks she must have worn earlier.

A long black-and-gold shoulder purse by YSL added pizzazz as did a silver chain necklace and stylish earrings.

And the star – who made her film debut in the 2004 sports drama Friday Night Lights with Billy Bob Thornton – added several silver rings on her left hand.

The couple looked in sync as they walked past an outdoor restaurant as fans took a gander. 

Later they crossed a street and walked to a parking area where the 3 Days To Kill actress opened her purse to pay a fee.

Later the lovebirds got very close as they enjoyed a very long dinner at Italian restaurant Bar Pitti on Sixth Avenue.

They had on the same clothes and appeared to be in a riveting conversation over a bottle of red wine and some Italian sparkling water.

Vito was no doubt charming his lady love with all his knowledge of the art world. 

In early May, they were caught by surprise as they seemed to be deep in conversation in a car.

Heard was last linked to Tesla founder Elon Musk and Schnabel broke off his romance with supermodel Heidi Klum last year.

Amber wore her flaxen locks down and had on a casual white T-shirt as she appeared a bit sleepy while looking out her opened window.

Vito wore his sunglasses down on his nose and was slouched down in his car seat as he had an intense expression on his face.

The pairing is unusual because they have never been seen together before and no one knew they were friends.

Also, while Amber lives in Los Angeles, Vito calls New York City home.

Heard was last linked to Musk, who she was on and off with from 2016 until 2017. 

Musk is now dating musical artist Grimes and they made their public debut as a couple the Met Gala, where Heard was also a guest.

Heard was previously married to Depp from 2015 until 2016. They had an ugly and very public split that included accusations of physical and mental abuse.

Schnabel dated America’s Got Talent star Klum, 44, off and on from 2014 until 2017.

There were allegations he had cheated on the Vogue model – who has four children with singer Seal – in June in London.

Vito was spotted leaving popular eatery Chiltern Firehouse with the unknown female, around 3:30am. He strongly denied he was cheating.

Vito sent a statement to People which read: ‘The claims that have been made are a misinterpretation of an entirely innocent situation. There is nothing more to this than I was simply saying goodnight to a family friend and we went on our separate ways.’

The stunning lingerie designer has since moved on with German singer Tom Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel; he is 28-years-old.

He was arrested for possession of illegal mushrooms.

The businessman was discovered in possession of psilocybin, the active chemical found in hundreds of species of psychoactive mushrooms, at the Burning Man festival in September. 

Court documents revealed earlier this month that the arrest occurred just three weeks before supermodel Heidi ended their relationship.

Vito was arrested September 3 by Pershing County Sheriff’s deputies, according to the documents, which were obtained by TMZ.

The son of film director Julian Schnabel was charged with felony distribution and manufacture of a controlled substance.

The arrest report says Schnabel was in possession of psilocybin, the active chemical found in hundreds of species of psychoactive mushrooms.

Psilocybin is a Schedule 1 controlled substance – putting on a par with heroin in US law – and if found guilty, Schnabel faces up to five years in prison. He has pleaded not guilty to the charge.

During his romance with Heidi there was also talk that he had flirted with Dakota Johnson. Before Klum, Vito had dated Demi Moore and Elle Macpherson.
