<p>The year started out on a rough note for <a href="/profile/AriLennox" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Ari Lennox</a>, who had just <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ari-lennox-on-her-amsterdam-arrest-it-s-painful-what-i-went-through-i-m-not-ok-news.144058.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">barely recovered from her Amsterdam arrest</a> when she was <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ari-lennox-boasts-about-ghana-trip-haters-force-her-to-delete-tweets-news.145844.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bashed for tweeting about her trip to Ghana</a>. Weeks later, the &#8220;Pressure&#8221; singer was <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ari-lennox-rants-about-podcast-and-chill-episode-says-she-felt-ambushed-by-macg-news.146585.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">&#8220;ambushed&#8221; with an invasive question</a> from <em>Podcast &amp; Chill </em>host MacG about her sex life during an interview, though that was eventually followed by some fire new music on <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/dj-drama-and-dreamville-present-d-day-a-gangsta-grillz-mixtape-new-mixtape.122538.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Dreamville&#8217;s <em>D-Day: A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape</em></a>.</p>
<p>Lennox has also <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ari-lennox-confirms-summer-release-for-next-album-news.150413.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">confirmed that her sophomore album is on the way this summer</a>, but from the looks of her Instagram feed, that&#8217;s not all she&#8217;s been working on lately. As <em>PEOPLE</em> reports, on Thursday, June 2nd, the 31-year-old introduced her new boo to her Instagram followers via some sweet snaps shared on her Story.</p>

<p>Both photos show the lovers sitting close and comfortably – one sees them all dressed up and out for dinner, and another finds them wearing some athleisure, kicking back on the couch in each other&#8217;s arms.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re wondering why he looks so familiar, you may recognize Lennox&#8217;s man, Keith Manley II, from the reality series, <em>Married at First Sight</em>. He appeared on season nine in 2019; at the time he was matched with Iris Caldwell, a fellow contestant, although they ultimately decided they were incompatible and went their separate ways before the end of the program.</p>

<p>In the past, the <em>Shea Butter Baby</em> has been open about her relationship expectations, telling <em>Essence </em>that she finds herself easily bored, &#8220;Or I&#8217;ll find someone incredibly interesting and then like, the sex is terrible. And I&#8217;m sorry, but that&#8217;s important.&#8221;</p>
<p>Manley also posted a sweet (although more subtle) upload to his own Instagram story – check it out below, and tap back in with <em>HNHH</em> later for more pop culture news updates.</p>
