The Celebrity Apprentice contestant seems to have found love again, nearly one year after the death of her fiancé, Oscar nominee Michael Clark Duncan.
Manigault, 39, began dating WWE star Titus O’Neil, 36, after the two were introduced by their mutual friend Jawn Murray at the WWE Superstars of Hope Party in Beverly Hills in August, a source tells PEOPLE exclusively.
“She’s been really apprehensive about dating since Michael died,” the source said. “But everyone who loves her has been encouraging her to step out and try it again. So far, things seem to be going good. They seem really happy together.”
The bi-coastal couple – he lives in Tampa and she’s in Los Angeles – make their long-distance relationship work by video-chatting often. O’Neil has also flown Manigault to visit him when he’s performing in WWE shows across the country.
On Aug. 19, Manigault Instagrammed a photo of O’Neil during a match. “Watching Monday Night WWE Raw with my nephew and we are cheering for WWE superstar, my tag team partner @TitusONeilWWE #BlessedLife” she said.
Although she is moving on, Manigault seems to still miss Duncan, because pictures of the two of them still wallpaper her Twitter page. She had spent 50 days keeping vigil by Duncan’s hospital bed after his July 2012 heart attack.
