Looks like Rose McGowan is already dating someone new.

Out with the old, in with the new — it seems like Rose McGowan is dating someone else.
Following her split with Rain Dove that’s still making headlines, McGowan has been spotted with a new man this week at a party. So far, there aren’t many details out there about him, given that it seems this relationship is still new, and the actress is still pretty embroiled in the drama that’s still going on with Dove.
So, who is Rose McGowan’s new boyfriend, anyway? That’s a tough question to answer as his identity still seems to be a mystery — but here’s everything we already know.
1. Rose McGowan was spotted with her new boyfriend this week.
On Tuesday night, she brought a date to Liz Vap’s Krampus-themed Christmas party on the Lower East Side in New York City. The party was held at a private lounge called Diego at the Public Hotel, and a witness said that McGowan and her new boo seemed really happy together.
“Rose seemed super in love, and was snuggled up for the holidays,” the source said.
2. McGowan’s boyfriend’s identity remains anonymous.
This is understandable — after all, she and the new man were just spotted together for the very first time mere days ago, so he hasn’t been identified yet.
And there doesn’t seem to be any photographic evidence, either. Without photos or even a description, it’s hard to guess who this mystery man might be.
3. McGowan just got out of a year-long relationship with model Rain Dove.
Dove and McGowan first started dating in 2018, and it seemed like McGowan was truly in love with Dove, a nonbinary LGBTQ activitist. Earlier this year, Dove and McGowan opened up about falling in love, sharing that they met for the first time after McGowan got into an argument with a trans woman during a Barnes & Noble appearance.
“It is my first time dating a nonbinary person, and yeah it’s nice not going out with a man,” McGowan said on PinkNews’ First Times segment.
“It was just like your mind is so amazing, but I really enjoy kissing you, so every time was amazing,” Dove added.

4. Now, McGowan is trying to cut all ties with Dove.
Recently, McGowan and Dove have been in a very public feud after Dove admitted to selling text messages from Asia Argento, McGowan’s friend, to TMZ for $10,000. The texts included an admission from Argento that she had slept with a minor unknowingly, leading police to investigate the messages.
Since then, McGowan has taken to Instagram to share her side of the story, admitting that she felt Dove had conned her “during a period where my brain was breaking.” On Twitter, she asked her followers for help removing her association to Dove from Wikipedia.
“Does anyone out there know how to fix a Wikipedia entry? I broke up with my ex 6 months ago and they are still listed as my partner,” McGowan tweeted on December 17th. “I would like my name to be cleared of association.”
5. McGowan hasn't shared any details about her new boyfriend.
Most of her social media posts recently have been about the situation with Dove, the current state of politics, and a threat she’s received that someone from her past may release a sex tape they have of her.
McGowan certainly seems to have a lot going on right now, and hasn’t made mention of dating someone new just yet.
6. By all social media appearances, McGowan could be single.
There’s no evidence of a new man in her life on her Instagram, so it may be safe to assume that the relationship is still too new — or, in light of the other controversies she’s involved in, she’s choosing to keep things quiet.
Now, fans just have to wait and see if McGowan chooses to share an update on her love life … or for her and the new man to be photographed while out and about in public. Time will tell.
