Young love is alive and well in Hollywood!

Bella Thorne and Tyler Posey are dating, sources tell E! News. The fairly new relationship blossomed about five weeks ago and is "nothing serious at the moment," an insider tells us.

"They are hanging out and testing the waters and seeing where it goes," our source explains. 

But, according to the source, "Bella really likes Tyler. It's new, but she hopes it will get to a more serious point. She loves being in a relationship and dating one guy at a time; she is really excited about him."

Romance rumors first sparked Friday when the lovebirds were spotted sharing a smooch while out and about in West Hollywood. Dressed in baggy camo pants and a lacy bodysuit, the actress stuck close to Tyler's side as they enjoyed an afternoon stroll. 

And as fate would have it, this isn't the first time Bella, 18, has been linked to the 24-year-old Teen Wolf hunk. Back in April 2015, Thorne slammed speculation the two were anything more than close pals.

"It baffles me why rumors are made up about who I am dating when I've always been upfront and open about my personal life," she tweeted, along with alien and side-eye emojis.

Posey echoed Thorne's sentiments when two months later he told HuffPost Live, "Her boyfriend [Gregg Sulkin] is actually good friends with me, so we're definitely not dating." Oh, how the tables have turned. 

The Blended star's newest relationship comes fresh off calling it quits with her boyfriend of one year back in August. Gregg and Bella reunited just weeks after their breakup at the Playboy Midsummer Night's Dream party, where a source told E! News the friendly exes "chatted briefly" before going off and doing their own thing. Sulkin posed for a photo with Posey, who also attended the gathering. 

In related Bella news, the redheaded beauty recently came forward and revealed she's bisexual. When a Twitter follower posed a personal question to the actress: "Are you bisexual? @BellaThorne." Using just one word, Bella responded with the word "Yes."

Here's to new beginnings!
