Models Elsa Benitez and Veronica Varekova have something in common besides appearing in the SI Swimsuit Issue and your masturbational fantasies: they've both been involved Italian movie producer Valerio Morabito. Page Six writes:

Spies said Benitez… and Morabito are "getting hot and heavy all over Miami," where the Mexican beauty threw her new man a 33rd-birthday party at Casa Tua. Varekova, 29, who used to date Morabito, was recently spotted getting cozy with shipping heir Stavros Niarchos, 21, at Downtown Cipriani.

Benitez, you'll recall, divorced douchey former Heat center Rony Seikaly in 2005, while Varekova separated from NHL star Petr Nedved last summer.  So it's good to see that models CAN find men to date after they've discarded their wealthy athlete husbands.  And who would have thought that Cupid would direct his arrow at some of the wealthiest men on the planet?  Man, what a coincidence.  I could see it happening once, but twice?  That's just uncanny.
