Melrose Place Star Courtney Thorne-Smith Sparks Romance Buzz Post-Divorce!

A Melrose Place actress was caught kissing a new boyfriend just three months after filing for divorce from her husband of 18 years

SHOCKING CELEBRITY SCANDAL: Melrose Place Star Caught Kissing New Beau Just Months After Filing for Divorce from Husband of 18 Years!

It's been a whirlwind week in Hollywood, and we've got the tea on the latest celebrity scandal to hit the streets. None other than beloved actress Courtney Thorne-Smith, best known for her iconic role as Alison Parker on the hit TV show Melrose Place, has been spotted kissing a new mystery man just three short months after filing for divorce from her husband of 18 years!

According to eyewitnesses, the 57-year-old blonde bombshell was seen locking lips with her salt-and-pepper-haired beau outside World Market in Los Angeles. The two were caught strolling side by side, putting their arms around each other, and even sharing a steamy kiss in a parking lot! It's clear that Courtney has moved on from her marriage to Roger Fishman, but is she ready for another high-profile relationship?

Thorne-Smith looked absolutely smitten with her new love interest as they navigated the busy streets of LA. She sported a post-workout look, rocking a pale blue zip-up jacket, black leggings, and blue sneakers, while donning a lavender purse crossbody style. Her hair was down and free-flowing, with a subtle hint of honey blonde undertones, and she opted for a makeup-free, effortless look complete with black sunglasses.

But who is this new man in her life? We're still scratching our heads trying to figure that out! According to eyewitnesses, he was dressed in a light olive green T-shirt, blue shorts, and white sneakers, adding a touch of laid-back coolness to their public display of affection. Black sunglasses completed his effortless look.

But let's get back to Courtney's love life... or rather, her tumultuous past with ex-husband Roger Fishman. The couple tied the knot on New Year's Day in 2007 and welcomed their only child, Jacob Emerson Fishman, just a year later. Now 17, Jacob is growing up fast, but it seems his mom has moved on to greener pastures. According to court documents filed earlier this week, Thorne-Smith cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.

Thorne-Smith played Alison Parker on Melrose Place, which aired from 1992 until 1999. Her costars were Heather Locklear, Andrew Shue (whom she used to date), Grant Show, Josie Bissett, Doug Savant and Marcia Cross

This marks the actress's second marriage, and it's clear she learned from her previous high-profile relationships. Her first marriage was to geneticist Andrew Conrad in 2000, which ended in a whirlwind divorce just months after their wedding photos hit newsstands on the cover of a bridal magazine! Talk about a fairy tale gone wrong!

Before marrying Roger Fishman, Thorne-Smith dated none other than her Melrose Place co-star Andrew Shue during the 1990s. Yes, that's right – she had a thing for her TV beau back in the day! It's clear that Courtney knows how to keep things interesting when it comes to romance.

But let's get real for a second... who exactly is this new man in Courtney's life? Is he an actor? A producer? Or perhaps just someone special from behind-the-scenes? We're dying to know!

As we wait with bated breath for more information on Courtney's love life, the actress was spotted grocery shopping at her local market in Brentwood. She picked up some fresh French bread, no doubt looking forward to trying out new recipes in her newly single kitchen.

TheScholarlyNote.com has reached out to Thorne-Smith's reps for comment, but so far, we've received nothing but crickets. It seems the actress is keeping her love life under wraps for now... but we'll be watching closely!

Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy celebrity scandal!
