The new couple was first introduced by Tontz’s producer, the source adds. They bonded through each other’s music and are even considering a possible collaboration.

Earlier this month, Salling posted a snapshot of the twosome sitting beachside with a male pal. “Musical beach shenanigans with @sincerelydenyse and The Mill,” the actor-singer captioned the photo on July 9. The pair sat close in the adorable picture, as Salling held onto his guitar.

Salling was briefly linked to his Glee costar Naya Rivera back in 2010. The relationship fizzled when the actress keyed his Lexus in a jealous rage after finding out he was seeing other girls. “It’s hard to call it infidelity when they weren’t officially together!” one pal told Us. (As previously reported, Rivera secretly tied the knot with actor Ryan Dorsey in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on July 19. The date was her original wedding date to rapper and ex-fiance Big Sean.)
