Demi Lovato is getting to know a new man in her life! 

Multiple sources tell E! News the pop singer and Luke Rockhold are spending more time together, a UFC fighter she met while training at the Unbreakable Performance Center in Los Angeles. As of now, Lovato is keeping things fairly casual with Rockhold, and as an insider tells us, isn't ready to jump back into the boyfriend-girlfriend pool just yet.

"Demi is hanging out with Luke. It's pretty new and fun at this point. She likes being around him," a source reveals to E! News. "She just got out of a serious relationship [with Wilmer Valderrama] so she is not looking for something that serious but if something evolves naturally over time she is willing to go with it and explore it."

As for what about Luke (besides his ruggedly handsome good looks) Demi finds most attractive, the insider adds, "She thinks Luke is a cool dude and he makes her smile.  She is the kind of girl that takes day by day and just lives in the moment."

In addition to working up a sweat by each other's side, the new lovebirds recently attended a Los Angeles Rams football game where they posed for photographs. Although an eyewitness tells E! News the pair weren't overly affectionate toward one another, their chemistry couldn't be ignored.

"It was obvious there's a connection between the two," the source shares. "He would scoot closer to her when they were at the table watching the game."

Back in June, the "Confident" songstress and Valderrama shocked fans when they decided to call it quits after six years together. Shortly thereafter, Lovato kicked her fitness routine into high gear, sharing more videos and photos from her grueling gym sessions than ever before. 

Lovato is evidently a big fan of attending UFC events, as her first public appearance following the breakup was at a fight in Los Angeles, which Rockhold just so happened to be competing in. 

One thing's for sure. All eyes will definitely be on Demi and Luke in the days ahead!
