The 27-year-old former eighth-season The Bachelorette star has been dating a guy named Nick for about six months, Us Weekly reported in its latest issue.

The former reality star has been hush-hush about her new romance to the point where she's refused to disclose his last name, but according to an Us source, "They met in church!"

Maynard, who has gotten engaged three times but never been married, dropped hints about her relationship status last month when she told the magazine, "Nobody says you have to be married in six weeks. Dating's been fun for me when I can just go with the flow!"

Likewise, Maynard's ex-fiance and former The Bachelorette suitor Jef Holm told Us around the same time he's been "dating around and hanging out and having a blast... I'm not dating anyone in specific. I'm just having fun right now. Life's good!"

Holm added he hadn't spoken with Maynard in several months although he believed they were on good terms.

"Last time we talked, things were in good spirits," the 28-year-old People Water co-founder told the magazine. "I hope the best for her. She's an amazing girl. She's just not the person I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with. I think she'll make somebody happy."

Maynard and Holm got engaged at the conclusion of last summer's edition of The Bachelorette but confirmed they had split in October following two months of reports their relationship had been on the rocks. Some of the speculation had been that Maynard cheated on Holm while other rumors claimed Holm was just hungry for the limelight.

But the pair apparently reunited and decided to give their relationship another shot in mid-December when Holm returned to Maynard's hometown of Charlotte, NC on business. They were photographed together on December 11 having drinks and then dinner through which a local source claimed the couple had been acting "friendly and flirty."

However, a source close to Maynard told Us in late December the former The Bachelorette star was done with Holm and wanted nothing to do with him anymore.

"He's tried calling, but she hasn't answered. She was so in love with him, and he crushed her," the source said at the time.
