His pretty companion matched him with dark hues and covered her head in a black fiddler cap.
The outing came after Moby publicly apologized to Natalie Portman after boasting about his relationship with the then 18-year-old in his memoir Then It All Fell Apart.
The actress had contested the nature of their past relationship, and described him as a 'creepy old man,'.
Moby initially doubled down on his recollection instead of apologizing.
In his apology, posted on Instagram on Saturday, he said he accepted he was wrong for including their so-called relationship in the book without giving her forewarning, and that, given the 14-year age gap between the pair, he admitted he should have 'acted more responsibly and respectfully' when they first met in Austin, Texas in 1999.

'As some time has passed I've realized that many of the criticisms leveled at me regarding my inclusion of Natalie in Then It Fell Apart are very valid,' he wrote, continuing, 'I also fully recognize that it was truly inconsiderate of me to not let her know about her inclusion in the book beforehand, and equally inconsiderate for me to not fully respect her reaction.
But, he said, 'I have a lot of admiration for Natalie, for her intelligence, creativity, and animal rights activism, and I hate that I might have caused her and her family distress.'
'I tried to treat everyone I included in Then It Fell Apart with dignity and respect, but nonetheless it was truly inconsiderate for me to not let them know before the book was released,' The Porcelain singer added, saying 'So for that I apologize, to Natalie, as well as the other people I wrote about in Then It Fell Apart without telling them beforehand. Also I accept that given the dynamic of our almost 14 year age difference I absolutely should've acted more responsibly and respectfully when Natalie and I first met almost 20 years ago.'
