Other reports from inside the venue said that the duo were “making out” during the apparent date. “making out” during their date. “There was also a group of young girls that went up for pictures from her shortly after and a man getting an autograph,” the source spilled to Page Six. Per another outlet, the pair have also known each other for some time before their relationship took a romantic turn. “The timing wasn’t right [at first] but the pair crossed paths again recently. So far so good,” an insider said to Life & Style.
