March 18, 2014 — -- Heidi Klum and her new man Vito Schnabel have only been rumored to be dating for a few months, but with pictures now surfacing of the two holding hands in Paris, things look like they are heating up between the supermodel and her new beau.

But who is Vito Schnabel and where did he come from? One thing's for sure, Klum is doing nothing but smiling in the new pictures.

Here is what you need to know about the man who can definitely hold his own around celebrities.

Schabel is 13 years younger than the "America's Got Talent" judge, 40. The 27-year-old Schnabel was born in 1986.

Schnabel is an art dealer based in New York City and People magazine reported that the duo toured art galleries in Paris on Monday. Schnabel "made a name for himself as a curator and art dealer while still a teenager," People added. On his website, it says he represents the likes of Laurie Anderson and Jesse Edwards.

In 2012, he was linked to Demi Moore. Before that, he was linked to Elle Macpherson and Liv Tyler.

Klum posted a picture of their trip to Paris that showed a close-up of her plate of escargot (which are snails for those who don't know!)

His father is Julian Schnabel, who directed "Before Night Falls" - Javier Bardem's breakthrough role. He also directed "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," which was nominated for numerous Oscars.
