Former Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes is dating a new man.
The 39-year-old former actress is seeing a business owner named Zachary, 40, according to a source who spoke with TMZ.
Things between Bynes and her beau — who owns an event and security business — are still new, the insider shared, however they recently took their friendship to the next level.
The What I Like About You star — who ended her engagement with ex Paul Michael in 2023 — is not rushing things with Zachary, and for now they are enjoying each other’s company and having casual dates.
The two were even spotted walking hand-in-hand in Hollywood this week, according to the publication.
Earlier this week the actress teased fans by sharing photos on her Instagram Stories from a getaway with a mystery man she called her ‘boyfriend’, whom TMZ has identified as Zachary.
Daily Mail has reached out to Bynes’ representatives for comment.

She has now added the Stories to her highlights, under the name ‘BOYFRIEND.’
One photo showed Zachary across the table from Bynes in a black t-shirt, a black snapback, and sunglasses.
‘Special getaway with my boo,’ she captioned the post.
Visible on the table between them were two packs of cigarettes, a Red Bull, and two glasses of drinks.
Another image showed their legs intertwined in bed, with Zachary rocking grey boxer briefs and a t-shirt, and Amanda wearing white jeans.
They pair cuddled up while watching a movie together.
She also posted a video of herself in a grey lace tank top with the caption ‘Ur my type’ tagging the private Instagram account @vipinhouse.
She also re-shared a photo from @vipinhouse showing a plate of food on the bed, with the caption ‘Staying in.’

It comes two years after Bynes’ split from on-again/off-again ex-fiancé Paul Michael. The two called it quits in 2023

It comes two years after Bynes’ split from on-again/off-again ex-fiancé Paul. The two called it quits in 2023.
Bynes called off her engagement to Michael just before she checked back into a mental health facility.
In April 2023, Michael claimed he and Bynes had broken up just days before her mental breakdown, which led to her being placed on a psychiatric hold.
While reflecting on the end of their chaotic romance, the actress’ former partner alleged that two weeks before walking the streets of Los Angeles naked, she had ‘disappeared for three days’ before coming ‘home with another guy.’
He went on to tell TMZ that ‘they argued’ and Bynes, who he reportedly first met back at Alcoholics Anonymous in November 2019, ‘said she ‘didn’t care about him anymore.’
After calling it quits, he ‘packed up his things and left their home.’
Michael recalled feeling blindsided by her behavior as she ‘seemed stable’ and was focused on her becoming a nail artist after enrolling in a cosmetology course.
Bynes had previously been under a conservatorship since 2013, but it was ended in 2022.
The original arrangement began after she was involuntarily committed following multiple run-ins with the law starting a year earlier.

She had two hit-and-runs, as well as a DUI, in 2012, and she was later arrested in 2013 for allegedly throwing a bong out of the window of her 36th-floor apartment in Manhattan.
Bynes traded Hollywood for a degree from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in 2019.
In December 2024, she hosted a successful art and clothing pop-up in Los Angeles.
Earlier this year, she announced she would be starting an Only Fans account to connect with fans.
“Disclaimer: I’m doing onlyfans to chat with my fans through dm’s,” she revealed in her Instagram Stories in April. ‘I won’t be posting any sleazy content.’
