Since she was acquitted of her daughter's murder in July 2011, Casey Anthony has kept a low dating profile. The 38-year-old was briefly thrust back into the public's eye by way of a 2022 Peacock docuseries. In Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies, she told her side of the story which included details about the alleged sexual abuse perpetrated by her father. It's a pretty compelling watch.

Apart from the sexual assault allegations, Anthony also claimed her father was responsible for the death of her daughter Caylee. She accused him of abusing her child, then staging the drowning that ultimately killed her. While the series was polarizing, it neglected to shed much light on Anthony's personal life. Is Casey Anthony dating? She was spotted with a new hairdo and mystery man. Here's what we know.

Casey Anthony is dating a former cop.

News of Anthony's new man was first reported by TMZ, which spotted the duo out on what looks like a date. The fella was identified as Ben Beauchemin, and he is a former police officer who now owns a gun shop called Wicked Weaponry in Hooksett, N.H. They were spotted looking quite cozy at the Seasons Tickets Sports Pub in Manchester, N.H.

An eyewitness overheard Anthony talking about how much she enjoys hiking while visiting the area. Another source told the outlet that the two looked very comfortable, suggesting this wasn't a first date. At one point, Anthony put her hand on Beauchemin's arm and leg. They stayed for about 90 minutes, grabbed beers and some food, then left.

Anthony was previously with a married guy who broke up his marriage for her.

Back in September 2024. The New York Post spotted Anthony in Tennessee hanging out with a pretty much still-married guy. Evidently, she had been seeing 48-year-old Tyson Ray Rhodes since January 2024. They met at a gym in South Florida and grew closer by way of a group text. Sources close to the duo said it didn't take long for them to create a group text of their own.

Coincidentally, Rhodes asked his wife for a divorce in January soon after they moved from Florida to Tennessee. He and his estranged wife share two adult sons and had been married for 22 years. When she went home to visit her family in Florida, Anthony popped over to Tennessee for a date night on Jan. 26. While they were out at a restaurant with another couple, an onlooker said they were "holding hands and kissing, and he even touched her butt."

At one point when Anthony hopped up to fetch them drinks, she noticed the restaurant patrons were gawking just a bit. This caused her new beau to go into protection mode. According to this same customer, Rhodes yelled, "Bring that innocent a-- over here." (Well, that answers that question.) A friend of Anthony's told the outlet that she doesn't care about the fact that her new man is married. When asked about it she apparently said, "Oh shut up, I’m living the life I want."

Their love faded pretty fast as the New York Post reported Anthony and Rhodes split in November 2024. A source close to Anthony told the outlet that she "gets bored easily" and thought of Rhode as "forbidden fruit" which made the relationship more exciting. Another source claimed that Rhodes regrets destroying his marriage for the fling.
