Vicki Gunvalson is back in the dating game.

The 53-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star is dating a man named Jack, her rep told E! News exclusively Thursday, five months after she and Brooks Ayers broke up.

Gunvalson had posted photos of her with a man named Jack Losey, including a pic with his sons, at the Handlebar J bar In Scottsdale, AZ on Instagram earlier this week and had also shared a pic of just her with her new beau at the same venue more than two months ago.

"She is dating Jack. It's not exclusive and not serious but Jack has already met Brianna and Brianna definitely approves. And Ryan is very excited because they have a lot in common and same interest like ATV riding, "the rep said, referring to Gunvalson's daughter, one of her two children, and her husband.

Gunvalson and her new beau go way back.

"She has known him for several years and he is a really great guy and she is incredibly happy," the rep told E! News. "They met several years ago. She was in Arizona and saw him recently and he told her when she comes back to Arizona they should go out. They went out this past Saturday. They went to the Handlebar J bar in Scottsdale. She said she had the time of her life [during the date] and is very excited for her future. And she is thrilled the family approves."

Good friends, good times at one of my favorite places.

In one of her photo captions, Gunvalson thanked Jack "for dinner and dancing at our favorite place."

Losey, who works as a superintendent at a construction company, recently opened his own Instagram page and posted a couple of pics from his night out with the reality star.

"She looks damn good in a hat!!" he wrote.

Gunvalson had announced last August she and Ayers broke up after four years of dating. Months later, E! News learned exclusively he had lied about his cancer treatment, following accusations by cast members of the Bravo reality show of allegedly faking his illness. Ayers later expressed "deep regret" in "fabricating" medical documents.
