Love is in the air for So You Think You Can Dance star Nigel Lythgoe!

E! News has learned that the reality TV favorite is romancing none other than the self-appointed Beverly Hills Cannabis Queen herself: Cheryl Shuman.

The 65-year-old Brit was spotted looking lovey dovey with Shuman last night at the OK! magazine party, but things haven't gotten that serious just yet between the two.

A source tells us that Lythgoe was gushing to partygoers about his new leading lady, confessing that the two "met on Twitter!"

The duo only met this past Monday but already "can't keep their hands off one another"—when you know, you just know, amirite?!

Apparently, it was Lythgoe who did all the pursuing, as our insider shared that "He tweeted her and she didn't believe it. She said, 'If you are the real Nigel Lythgoe send me your number.' He did, and now they are dating. All in the last week!"

Shuman was so taken by her date last night that she took to Instagram to post a snapshot of the new couple walking the red carpet together and even called Lythgoe "so sexy." Get a room, you two!

As for Lythgoe's arm candy, Shuman claims that she was once Michael Jackson's personal optician but now deems herself the "Martha Stewart of Marijuana" after claiming medical cannabis cured her from a life-threatening cancer diagnosis.

Congratulations to Lythgoe and Shuman on their new romance!
