While the rumored new couple has been spotted on a dinner date in Vegas, sources reveal to us, exclusively, that Jennie Garth is taking things as slow as possible with Antonio Ballatore, host of HGTV’s The Antonio Treatment.

“They are very friendly with each other, but they are taking things super slow, almost at a turtle’s pace,” the source reveals.

The 40-year-old mom of three is “not in a rush to get into another relationship,” the source continues. For his part, Antonio is “treating things very carefully and treading water, which she appreciates.”

Jennie and her HGTV hottie are just “having a good time with each other and talking a lot,” nothing more, yet.

What do you think? Is Jennie wise to take things slowly with Antonio? Let us know!

Jennie Garth was devastated when Peter Facinelli filed for divorce in March, but she seemed anything but down in the dumps while out on a date with HGTV star Antonio Ballatore in Las Vegas May 9.

An eyewitness spotted the 40-year-old mom of three with Antonio — the season four winner of Designer Star — at First Food and Bar at the Palazzo and said they were “flirty and very touchy” throughout the night, US Weekly reports.

However, it turns out this isn’t the couple’s first public interaction with one another. They’ve also been chatting flirtatiously over Twitter.

“Saw a show today called ‘The Antonio Treatment. I think I need that,” Jennie wrote in April.

“On my way! ;) xo,” Antonio replied.

Even though he’s also a TV personality, Antonio is a total shift from Jennie’s ex. Known for his edgy taste, he is an expert at taking drab rooms and completely redesigning them to look hip, yet functional, which he shows off on his own show, The Antonio Treatment.

Do YOU think Jennie is moving on too fast from Peter, or is it smart to get back in the field? Sound off below!
