The new couple made it Instagram official in mid-July when Thorne shared a snap of the two cuddling on a couch. At the top of the month, the musical star reciprocated with a photo of him and his gal mid-kiss on his account. "were hot," Blackbear captioned the passionate shot. 

While the Famous in Love star was linked to Scott Disick earlier this summer, particularly after they were spotted mingling poolside in Cannes, she quickly shot down those claims.

"Scott is really nice, sweet, charming. I don't drink, and he really drinks a lot," she told Complex in June. "It just ended up...I just wasn't down. I was like, 'I gotta leave.' We were [in Cannes] a day and a half before I was like, 'I'm booking my flight and leaving.' I love to go out and have fun, I love to f--king dance, but I just don't party hardcore like that and it was way too much for me. I was like, 'Woah, this is not the way I live my life, bruh.'"

As her romance with Blackbear picks up, Thorne also ran into a former flame backstage at the Teen Choice Awards: Tyler Posey.

Meanwhile, Posey recently revealed that he also has a new special lady in his life

"I really admire her," he recently dished to E! News. "I think she's extremely talented and a great person. I'm inspired by her a lot, and she intimidates me sometimes, which I'm not really used to. I'm nervous right now talking about it. She's beautiful, really cool, has a lot of the same interests. I could go on about that, too."
