Amber Heard & Vito Schnabel are still happening, they were seen at Nobu in LA

Amber Heard leave Nobu with boyfriend Vito Schnabel

About a month ago, we learned that Amber Heard had started up with Vito Schnabel, the son of famous artist/director Julian Schnabel. Vito’s name has appeared in gossip blogs and tabloids for years because he tends to date wealthy, famous older women like Heidi Klum and Elle Macpherson. I don’t really get the appeal of him personally – he strikes me as someone skating through life on nepotism and some kind of vague gigolo status, but some of you insisted that he actually does have a real, credible job in the art world, so what do I know?

Anyway, this is just a confirmation of what we already knew: Amber and Vito are together. It wasn’t just a brief weekend fling. They’re still together, and they were photographed at Nobu in LA on Friday. He drove – he has a Porsche. He didn’t open the door for Amber. She wore a simple white dress and little booties. He wore a navy pullover and slacks, although it seems like he took his shirt off for no apparent reason? Maybe he spilled some food on his shirt and decided to drive home shirtless, lest the stain become distracting. Perhaps the shirtlessness is part of the Gigolo Package, where Amber was like “I want to see it” and he was like “sigh, here’s what you’re paying for.”

What else? Well, there were specific and oblique mentions of Amber in Johnny Depp’s Rolling Stone profile, which was published online last week. RS took pains to say that Depp and Heard both have signed strict NDAs, so Depp could not legally come out and say her name. Instead, he just made it sound like he was a terrible victim of circumstance and that after his divorce, he just drank and wrote on his old typewriter and got very, very sad. I imagine these photos are a little bit about Depp’s RS interview too – Amber just wanted to remind us that she’s a lot happier these days now that she’s free of that giant pile of abusive scarves.

    I do not see the appeal of him. Maybe he is great in bed?

      Right there with you. My first thought was: “Is it that he’s astonishing in the hay?”

      ??!

    • Shirurusu says:

      Haha my first thought was “he must have a big d*ck or something…” lol. Not really seeing the appeal otherwise 😉

    • QueenB says:

      But how would you find out before getting there? Its not like “Yeah lets take a chance on that bloating guy” lol

      I guess by now he has a reputation in Hollywood but how did he get there?

  2. Nicegirl says:

    I just cannot get on board with the booties and body conscious dress look. I must be too old. Lol

  3. KS says:

    they both looked like they just got done with a bender. He’s wearing slipper and her dress is all wrinkly (messy hair in a bun).

  4. tracking says:

    She should win an award for having the worst taste in men. She easily beats out some other H’wood actress strong contenders.

    • Rocio says:

      She’s like me: our type is multi-millionaires. It’s a tough type to have, but we all have our cross to bear.

    • Kosmos says:

      I agree, always with men who are unavailable or very rich, what about a man she could really love, or who could love her? Or is she lovable at all, because Elon Musk said she was very self-centered, which is almost understood…..she seems spoiled and arrogant, but what do I know? I’m not saying that Depp was great either, but before Depp, I ONLY remember her as being with her girlfriend lover, when suddenly now she always with men. This guy might be nice, but he seems like a placeholder for women who don’t have partners so they can look like they’re with someone. It won’t last. She’s too bossy anyway and who can take that for long?

  5. crogirl says:

    I don’t know anything about him but he seems douchey. Imagine if a woman took of her top in public and just went about her business.

  6. hey-ya says:

    …I remember when she claimed her annual income was $50 000…but well done to her for that protest last week…

  7. MoP says:

    Who hooks their sunglasses to their crotch? Too. Much. Douche.

  8. Cheche says:

    Why does she have two handbags? It’s the little things that bother me…

  9. Me says:

    Not seeing the appeal of him either
    She always could do much more better than all these men she dates, but at least the other were famous due their own accomplishments not due be the “son of a director”
    Hope she finds someone more interesting soon

  10. MrsPanda says:

    He looks like a snail.

  11. Heckity Nope. says:

    Probably overthought this a bit too much, but I was sitting at work the other day and it struck me that Vito looks like he’s got a stocking mask over his face, when he actually hasn’t. Odd. *shrug*

  12. Egla says:

    Well he must be well connected, has money and probably is agreeable in conversation. Let’s not pretend that these “artists” are all brainy and seek to better themselves. He offers a light, easy, rich dude life and they offer their fame, name, exposure, beauty to him. Also yes she has a type- rich men and until she dates a regular 9-5 guy I won’t change my mind. He has a type also- famous beautiful women. it’s a win win situation. Good for them. I say enjoy

  13. Danielle says:

    He is NOT attractive with the shirt off. He’s not great with it on either, but off? Yuck.

  14. TexOka says:

    I think it has become pretty obvious her man picker is broken.
