Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton make a rare appearance together, and people say the same thing…

Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci are enjoying a gorgeous date night!

The 65-year-old film director and 59-year-old Bellucci received a lifetime achievement award at the 64th Globo d’Oro Awards in Rome on Wednesday, July 3.

Burton made a rare public appearance, kissing the actress and model on the sides of their faces.

Burton donned a black shirt under a similar black jacket, while Bellucci wore dark sunglasses and a fashionable transparent long coat.

The couple appeared to be in excellent spirits, holding hands and smiling for the cameras.

Bellucci also received the “Premio alla Carriera” prize.

The couple’s outing follows their red carpet debut at the Diabolik Chi Sei? premiere at the 18th Rome Film Festival’s Auditorium Parco Della Musica in Rome in October 2023.

On the occasion, the couple was caught holding hands, with Burton placing his arm around the Mafia Mamma star’s back.

Bellucci announced her relationship with Burton in June 2023.

“I’m glad I met the man,” she told Elle France. “It’s one of those uncommon experiences in life. I know the man, I love him, and now I’m about to meet the director; another journey begins.”

The two were working on Beetlejuice 2 in London at the time, with Burton directing the sequel to his 1988 horror-comedy feature.

“I love Tim,” Bellucci stated. “And I have great respect for Tim Burton.”

“I love this dream world where the monsters are kind, like we can turn our darker aspects into something bright and forgiving,” she told France’s Elle magazine. “Tim Burton’s films talk about that a lot.”

While the two briefly met on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival in 2006, relationship rumors did not begin until 2023.

Bellucci presented the Edward Scissorhands filmmaker with a lifetime achievement medal at the Lumière Film Festival in France in October 2022, and they were spotted together in Madrid in February 2023.

The same month’s Valentine’s Day saw them kissing outside the Ritz Paris hotel.

Bellucci, who was married to her ex-husband Vincent Cassel from 1999 until their divorce in August 2013, has two daughters, Deva, 19, and Léonie, 13. Burton has a son, Billy, 20, and a daughter, Nell, 16, with his ex, Helena Bonham Carter.
