"So far, living together is going well! When they leave the house, they usually get snapped by paparazzi. Nick is more used to it, but Vanessa's been taking it in stride. It doesn't faze her. She's a very levelheaded person," our insider explained.

Vanessa uprooted her life in Montreal, Canada, and made the trek out to the West Coast to be with Nick.

"Vanessa loves living in L.A. She's getting her life going there. She has a car, and she's busy getting her foundation up and running. That takes up a lot of her time," the source revealed, noting that, "She already knew a few people in L.A., and Nick's friends have reached out to her. She's meeting new people."

The couple have even formed a friendship with Nick's partner Peta Murgatroyed and her fiancé, Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
