Heath Ledger is dating Helena Christensen, according to reports.

The 'Brokeback Mountain' actor - who only confirmed his split from Michelle Williams, the mother of his baby daughter, last week - couldn't keep his hands off the 38-year-old Danish supermodel as they shared a romantic meal at New York's Wakiya restaurant on Tuesday night (11.09.07).

A fellow diner told the New York Post newspaper: "They were making out throughout the dinner. Later, he even held her bag for her as she did interviews."

The smitten pair then went to the after-party for Naomi Watts and Viggo Mortensen's new movie 'Eastern Promises' at the Soho Grand hotel.

There they rubbed shoulders with Viggo, Moby, director David Cronenberg, Woody Harrelson, Kate Bosworth, Salman Rushdie, LL Cool J and Tommy Hilfiger, before continuing to party the night away at the Spotted Pig nightclub.

Heath, 28, and Michelle, 26, are believed to have spent months apart after 23-month-old daughter Matilda was born and close friends and family were not surprised when they called time on their relationship.

Heath and Michelle met on the set of 'Brokeback Mountain' in 2004 - a month after the Australian actor ended his two-year relationship with Naomi Watts.

Helena was most recently rumoured to be dating Josh Hartnett after they were spotted canoodling at various New York nightspots.
