Los Angeles, Sep 2 (IANS): After her break up with actor Johnny Depp, singer Vanessa Paradis is reportedly dating French entrepreneur Guy-David Gharbi.

The two met on a flight from Los Angeles to Paris in May. After quietly spending some time together this summer, they are now openly seeing each other.

"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," thesun.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

"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. Guy-David's put a smile back on Vanessa's face, she looks younger and is even singing and writing songs again," the source added.

Paradis and Depp were in a relationship for 14 years before calling it quits in June. They have two children - Lily Rose, 13 and Jack, 10.
