Things heated up quickly between the pair, who have known each other “for the better part of a decade” due to Billy’s friendship with Naomi’s former love Liev Schreiber.
“But there are no hard feelings.When Liev found out, he wasn’t that surprised. They always got on so well together.”
“Splitting from Liev was devastating for Naomi, and she just couldn’t see herself with anyone else,” the source says. “Then this fell into her lap, and she couldn’t be happier.”
