Loved-up Naomi Campbell sets sail with her billionaire beau
Last updated at 17:58pm on 28.07.08
She's notorious for her fiery temper, but yesterday Naomi Campbell put her tender side on show during a romantic cruise with billionaire Russian Vladislav Doronin.
The supermodel, dressed in a black string bikini, showered her beau with kisses and hugs as they soaked up the sun in St Tropez aboard his luxury yacht, Lady In Blue.

The pair's relationship has become increasingly serious after Naomi introduced Doronin to 12 of her most trusted friends at a dinner party in the South of France last month.
With an estimated £1.5billion fortune, the 46-year-old a property tycoon has a penchant for high-living and beautiful women that has earned him the nickname of Moscow’s Donald Trump.

His property projects include Moscow City, a spectacular Canary Wharf-style development that is helping transform the once-poor city into a glamorous destination.
Naomi, 38, met him at the Cannes Film Festival in May, shortly after the outburst on a British Airways flight that led to her arrest, and they have been inseparable ever since.
One of Naomi’s guests, Brazilian writer Bruno Astuto, said: 'She said it was love at first sight and he is completely in love with her. Watching them look deeply into each other’s eyes, it was obvious that this is a very serious affair.

'He thinks she is a goddess and Naomi believes she finally has found the right man. She is now planning a really big party for Vlad, where we hope they will announce their engagement.'
The secretive oligarch - previously wrongly identified as Brazilian Marcus Elias - attended the recent London dinner for Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday, where Naomi was also a guest.
Naomi's tempestuous love life has also included a romance with motor-racing tycoon Flavio Briatore and one engagement, to U2 bassist Adam Clayton.
Hands on: Doronin helps Naomi dry off after a dip in the sea
