Jaimee Grubbs has got herself a new man—and he's not married.

Grubbs, the 24-year-old cocktail waitress and medical marijuana sales associate who is one of the many alleged Tiger Woods mistresses, is dating a thirtysomething-year-old L.A. bartender who also works at a snowboarding equipment store, a source tells us.

"They have been hanging out as friends for about a month, and she's been staying at his place for the last two weeks," our source says. "But they didn't become an official couple until a few days ago when she referred to him as her 'boyfriend.' "

The new duo made their first appearance as a couple when they showed up recently at MyHouse nightclub's BE Design event hosted by the Hollywood Clique and the Brave Foundation.

"They want to keep their relationship under wraps, so they kept it mellow at the event," our source says. "Jaimee walked the red carpet alone, and the two connected inside."

"He's shy and doesn't really talk to Jaimee's friends much," our source adds. "None of her friends know much about him."

The night of Grubbs and her new man's public debut as a couple, they also hung out with the likes of Derek Hough and Joanna Krupa, who were seated at the same table.

Looks like this new guy has taken Grubbs' mind off of Tiger. "She doesn't have any contact with him at all," our source says. "None of her friends even mention Tiger."

But, our source also reveals, Grubbs has told friends she's "grateful" for the the unexpected scandal.

Why?

Because she thinks it will now help kick-start a career in—what else?—acting.

Guess her time on Tool Academy didn't do the trick.
