Audrina Patridge and Chace Crawford dating news surfaced when they reportedly caught going out in Malibu. But fans can't help but worry that "The Hills" star may just be using the "Gossip Girl" hunk as a rebound.
According to a report from Radar Online, the new couple alert seemed too soon, following news just earlier this week about Audrina Patridge's break up with Corey Bohan, with whom she was in a serious relationship for five years.
Audrina Patridge and Chace Crawford dating news reveal that they were reportedly seen partying this past weekend in central Malibu, and a witness told Radar Online that they "definitely looked more than friends".
"They came together, partied all night together, and I think they even stayed over," the source said.
Prior to the Malibu incident that led to Audrina Patridge and Chace Crawford dating rumors, the "Gossip Girl" actor and "The Hills" star have actually known each other for years.
The bachelor actor, who played Nate in the hit series "Gossip Girl" even dated "The Hills" cast member Lauren Conrad, who is a close friend of Audrina Patridge.
Audrina Patridge and Chace Crawford also appeared together in 2008 at the unveiling of the new Dodge Challenger at the Willow Springs raceway in Rosamond, California. The two have crossed paths throughout the years, said Radar Online.
"They're just having fun for now, but they definitely seem like a good match," the source said. "They're both really good people, and love to have fun."
Prior to rumors linking the two, the 29-year-old brunette stunner and "Dancing With The Stars" alum dated Australian BMX superstar Corey Bohan for 5 years. According to Daily Mail, the two began dating in 2009 after the reality star broke up with MTV's Justin Brescia.
The former couple dealt with a handful of break-ups throughout their relationship, and their last break in March 2011 has reportedly "made them stronger than ever", said Daily Mail.
However, sources who have spoken about Audrina Patridge and Corey Bohan's most recent split say that "this break up is the real deal", with an insider saying: "I don't think they'll get back together this time."
