Halle Berry vs. Heidi Klum 'Sugar Mama' Beef? Ex-Lover Gabriel Aubry Flirts With Supermodel Amid Child Support Drama, Sparks Vito Schnabel Cheating Scandal?

Rumors suggest that gorgeous supermodel Heidi Klum is currently dating a young and attractive art dealer named Vito Schnabel. But if 39-year-old French-Canadien model Gabriel Aubry has his way, Klum will be his next "It Girl" soon!

As most MstarsNews readers probably already know, Aubry is the infamous ex-boyfriend of Hollywood sweetheart, Halle Berry. They welcomed a daughter together in 2008, and announced their seperation in 2010. The estranged lovers quickly became involved in a highly-publicized custody battle that shockingly turned violent in November 2012. They finally reached a child support "agreement" later in June 2014. Aubry now receives $3,800 per month instead of a whopping $16,000.

"Gabe's grown to depend on Halle's money - it's been his main source of income for years," an alleged Dish Nation insider explains. "He was furious when he learned she was trying to yank it. He gets money for modeling and does okay for himself, but he's accustomed to a life of luxury and doesn't want to give it up."

So - what does this have anything to do with the "Project Runway" fashionista?

Apparently, Aubry has a huge crush on the 41-year-old Sugar Mama! The two recently met during a photo shoot for Macy's INC International Concepts in NYC, and Aubry was instantly infatuated:

“Ever since the modeling gig with Heidi, he’s been sending her flirty messages and he calls her a lot. Heidi is a huge flirt, also. She loves attention from men," the snitch reveals. "He’d never admit it, but his friends know what he’s after — she’s filthy rich and those are the kinds of women Gabe chases after. Everyone jokes that it’ll only be a matter of time until he finds another sugar mama and now his sights are set on Heidi!”

So... are the "flirty" feelings mutual? and what about Schnabel! According to this "in the know" source:

"Heidi is dating Vito, but Gabe thinks he's a better catch and has made it his mission to get Heidi to agree to a date... No one will be the least bit shocked if she finally kicks Vito to the curb and starts a fling with Gabe, which would make his financial dreams come true. Better yet, knocking her up will insure a large paycheck for years to come!"

Sounds a bit shady, but the chemistry definitely does exist! The "American's Got Talent" sweetheart said this about posing with Aubrey:

"It's amazing because he looks great in every photo. It can be a little tricky when posing with another model, because I tend to do a lot of weird things. I laugh a lot, I do goofy faces, serious faces, sexy faces...and I can't see what he's doing, but thank God he always looks hot, so I just have to keep track of how I look."

Stay tuned!
