And her new squeeze is a married father of two.
According to the New York Post, Anthony followed Tyson Rhodes, an engineer for an aerospace company who has two grown sons, from south Florida to Tennessee earlier this year after meeting at a gym. The Post says Rhodes asked his wife of 22 years, Sandy, for a divorce shortly after moving to the Volunteer State but paperwork has not been filed.
“She doesn’t care if he’s married or not,” a friend of Anthony’s told the Post. “That’s his business. All she knows is that he makes her feel good, and she likes that. She was willing to follow him to Tennessee; she sees a future with him.
“I was like, ‘Casey, a married guy?’ and she just laughed and said, ‘Oh shut up, I’m living the life I want.’”

Anthony is now 38 years old while Rhodes in 48.
In a death-penalty case, Anthony was found not guilty of murdering her two-year-old daughter Caylee after her disappearance in 2008 but convicted of providing false information to police. Caylee had been missing for more than a month before Casey’s mother, Cindy, reported the disappearance to police. Caylee’s remains were found in a wooded area of Orlando, Fla. in December 2008, six months after she was last seen.
Anthony, who fell off the radar immediately after being acquitted but has been seen in south Florida with several men over the years, joined Rhodes in Tennessee while his wife was visiting family in Florida, according to the Post. They were spotted dining out and playing the part of a couple on Jan. 26.

“They were holding hands and kissing, and he even touched her butt,” an onlooker said, according to the Post. “She got up to order a drink, and they noticed that people were staring. He said to her, ‘Bring that innocent ass over here.’ He didn’t care.”
Anthony reportedly sees Rhodes as a long-term mate.
“She sees potential in him,” the friend said in the Post report. “She wants to see where this goes.”
