Photographers caught the couple intertwining their hands, and Gerber pulled Pullman closer by the back of his head while he held her waist.
Just a day earlier, the two were spotted enjoying a cozy dinner at Harry's Bar in Venice, where their affection continued to blossom. As Gerber casually puffed on a cigarette, Pullman wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, pulling her in for a kiss that seemed to say they didn't care who was watching.

Following their bar outing, the couple attempted to return to their hotel via a water taxi but quickly realized that card payments weren't accepted. They ended up walking back to the bar to retrieve cash before heading back to their hotel.
Gerber and Pullman first sparked romance rumors back in January when they celebrated his birthday together. "They've been spending time together the last few weeks," an insider told People, noting they were keeping their relationship "very low-key" following Gerber's split from Austin Butler.
