The two reportedly met through a mutual friend and hit it off quickly.
“They quickly started flirting, went on their first date and it’s continued since,” a source told ET. “(They’re) officially boyfriend and girlfriend.”
One might think they would be some drama surrounding the couple due to the age gap. However, that doesn’t appear to be the case.
