New year, new romance? Some believe that may be the case for Katie Maloney, as the Vanderpump Rules cast member shared a photo of herself and actor Lukas Gage lying in bed together on January 1.

Posted via Katie’s Instagram Stories, the snapshot was captioned, “Bb.” Lukas reposted the photo, but not before writing a little something of his own: “us only in 2023.” 

Naturally, this only fueled further speculation — as did Katie’s next Instagram Story, which wasn’t another photo of her and Lukas, but a selfie. The caption? “The bounce back of a lifetime.” 

As Vanderpump Rules fans are surely aware, Katie and her ex-husband, Tom Schwartz, split last March. Their divorce was finalized in October, and Katie has since begun dating again. She was first linked to actor Satchel Clendenin, but she confirmed in December that they weren’t seeing each other and had only ever been involved in “a casual thing.” 

When it comes to Gage — an actor who’s appeared on shows such as Euphoria and The White Lotus — Gawker reported that he and Katie have actually known each other for roughly a year. He has even appeared on Katie’s You’re Gonna Love Me podcast. 

Tom, for his part, is back in the dating pool as well. He’s been linked to his Vanderpump Rules castmate Raquel Leviss and Southern Charm’s Taylor Ann Green (who just spent New Year’s Eve at a Schwartz & Sandy’s party!).
