Legions of Ian Somerhalder female fans will definitely be envious of the blonde woman that the actor was photographed passionately kissing on a balcony in Italy. Who is the lucky girl? She is the Brazilian model Ana Beatriz Barros.

However, the beautiful 31-year-old model is not Ian's new found love after breaking up with Nina Dobrev. It turns out the Vampire Diaries actor is only working with Ana Beatriz Barros in Lake Como, Italy for the ad campaign of the new Azzaro fragrance.

Ian Somerhalder, 34, looked dapper and handsome as ever in his black tuxedo for the hot and sexy fragrance advertisement. Images of Ana and Ian were captured as they filmed the ad campaign's seductive scenes at an old Italian estate balcony on July 2 and 3.

"The scene is very hot. They were kissing each other passionately," an eyewitness shared. In the leaked images, Ian can be spotted as well stroking Ana's hair, slipping her white dress off the shoulder and snuggling her neck.

Even though Ana and Ian shared a passionate kiss, the two were witnessed sharing a good laugh, perhaps about their scenes during breaks. Ian appears to be enjoying his increasing work load following the split from Nina Dobrev, his "Vampire Diaries" co-star and girlfriend for three years.

The ex-couple have been spending time apart either on holiday vacations or burying themselves at work for their upcoming movie projects. Nina Dobrev has been working on the comedy film Let's Be Cops, while Ian Somerhalder wrapped up filming in London for the action-thriller movie The Anomaly.

Ian and Nina's path will cross once again as they return to work on the set of the Vampire Diaries since filming the fifth season is scheduled to start this week. "Yes - he will start later this month on the new season," Ian's rep confirmed to EntertainmentWise about the filming schedule of the Vampire Diaries, Season 5.
