The Cougar Town star has struck up a romance with Dancing With The Stars professional Cheryl Burke, according to reports.
The 29-year-old dancer and the 43-year-old actor are said to have started dating following a recent reunion after they met each other for the first time 'almost four years ago', Us Weekly claims.

According to Us Weekly's source, 'they have been dating for a few weeks and it's going well!'
But it's possible that a connection may have started brewing years ago, because the fresh new couple were not strangers to one another before striking up said romance.
'They met almost four years ago at a party, and then recently reconnected,' explained the publication's source.

The source went on to cite their approval of the budding new relationship, claiming: 'He's a really nice guy. And they seem like a good match.'
The actor - who plays Grayson Ellis on the TBS sitcom - will come as a break in Cheryl's string of sports star boyfriends.
Hockey player Joffrey Lupui is among her exes from all the way back in 2012, and she was also rumoured to be romantically linked to former NFL legend Chad Ochocinco.
The established dancer and choreographer, who has won Dancing With The Stars twice, has managed to stay out of the limelight since her latest stint on the show with Jack Osbourne in 2013.
