As Monica Bellucci strode out of the Chanel show at the Grand Palais, we had two overwhelming thoughts: one, we must invest in a tweed trench coat immediately if not sooner; and two, who is her handsome new boyfriend?

Walking hand-in-hand with the dapper gentlemen, who was sporting his own chic look in a charcoal pin-stripe suit with a contrasting red pocket square, observers the world over were piqued.

Despite this being their first public appearance as a couple, it is speculated that Bellucci and Lefebvre have been dating for quite some time, even so far back at 2017, according to The Mail

The man in question is Nicolas Lefebvre, a French sculptor and former model.

In November, Bellucci, 54, spoke to Paris Match , where she hinted at her (at that time, unnamed) boyfriend: "I have been with the same person for some time and everything is fine."

"The man whose life I share does not do the same job as me, but he travels a lot. Her pace of life allows her to understand mine."

Lefebvre is the first man Bellucci has dated publically since her split from husband Vincent Cassel in 2013.
