Hollywood star Heather Graham cozied up to her new Italian beau, Michele Civetta, during a sun-soaked vacation together in Tulum, Mexico, on Tuesday. The 56-year-old looked incredible in a white string bikini as she frolicked on the beach with the director, her long blonde hair falling down her back.
Michele took to his Instagram stories to share insight into their getaway, starting with a shot of Heather lying on the beach in her bikini, with her arms lifted over her head to showcase her toned abs. "Mermaid in the sea," he captioned the sizzling photo.
The second picture saw the blonde beauty with her arms wrapped around Michele, as they sat under the shade of a palm tree on the beach. "Sunstruck…Mexico," he wrote alongside the snap.

Heather has previously opened up about her desire to date someone outside of Hollywood, who can keep her grounded and down-to-earth.
"Of course, you want someone to understand your crazy schedule, which is different than a normal job, but I like dating someone who's not in the business," she told People.

The A-lister chose not to have children, sharing that she never regretted that decision despite the comments she often receives on the topic. "I don't feel that I'm missing anything," she explained. "If you're meant to have kids, you have kids. And if you're not meant to have kids, then the universe gives you someone or something to nurture."

© Getty Images"I think as a man it's like, oh, cool, you didn't want to have kids. Now, women are getting more free to make their own choices." She added that it was freeing to not be a mother, and that she got "a lot of sleep" as a result.

"Happy birthday Nico! Wishing you all the love fortune and blessings ad infinitum," Michele wrote on Instagram in celebration of his son's special day in September 2025. "You are inspired/ing to everyone you meet and couldn't be a more proud Pappa!"
