Oscar-nominated Heath Ledger is getting over his split from fiancee Michelle Williams by dating Australian supermodel Gemma Ward.

The Brokeback Mountain star separated from Williams, the mother of his child, in September.

Ledger and Ward enjoyed a series of dates over the Christmas period in their mutual hometown of Perth, Australia.

The couple caught comedy Outsourced at a local cinema on 20 December and enjoyed a romantic meal with friends at restaurant Creatures Loft on 26 December.

Restaurant manager William Wood says, "They had a very good time. It's pretty obvious they're an item."
