Amanda Bynes has a new romance in her life, but she’s taking things slow. The former Nickelodeon star, who has been open about her personal ups and downs, is reportedly dating again and enjoying the early stages of a fresh relationship.

According to TMZ, Amanda Bynes is dating Zachary, a 40-year-old business owner who runs an event and security company. Sources told the outlet that Amanda and Zachary started out as friends before recently taking their bond to the next level. While the pair have been spotted holding hands in Hollywood, insiders insist they are “not rushing things” and are simply enjoying each other’s company.

Bynes gave fans a peek into her budding relationship when she uploaded photos and clips to her Instagram Stories earlier this week. She referred to Zachary as her “boyfriend” and even saved the posts in a highlight titled “BOYFRIEND.”

One photo showed the two enjoying a meal together, with Bynes captioning it “Special getaway with my boo.” Another intimate one revealed their legs intertwined while watching a movie. She also shared a short video in a lace tank top with the flirty caption, “Ur my type,” tagging Zachary’s private Instagram account.

This new relationship comes after Bynes ended her engagement with ex-fiancé Paul Michael in 2023. Their turbulent romance, which began in 2019 after meeting at Alcoholics Anonymous, saw multiple breakups before they parted ways. The split came shortly before Bynes re-entered a mental health facility and experienced a highly publicized psychiatric episode.

Since then, the She’s the Man actress has focused on her well-being and creative interests, including pursuing cosmetology. With the end of her conservatorship in 2022, she has been reclaiming her independence and slowly stepping back into the spotlight on her own terms.
