Nicky Whelan and Chad Michael Murray Dating; Couple Shares Passionate Kiss (PHOTO)

Chad Michael Murray has a new leading lady in his life.

The former "One Tree Hill" star, tweeted a photo with his new girlfriend, Australian actress Nicky Whelan, on Wednesday. 

"I am a lucky lucky man," he captioned the black-and-white photo of them locking lips. "Blessed 2 feel the way I do with @NickyWhelan! I hope each of u feels the same in ur world!" 

The 32-year-old Australian model turned actress retweeted her other half, adding, "ALL MY LOVE." 

The couple who both star in "The Left Behind" reportedly made their debut as a couple one day earlier at the Lucky Brand Flagship Store opening event in Beverly Hills, Calif., according to Us Weekly

"They [were] very touchy with their arms around each other and holding hands," an eyewitness reveals to Us Weekly. "They are definitely head over heels. The two seem very comfortable together and were finishing each other's sentences."

Last month Murray and ex-girlfriend Kenzie Dalton confirmed they ended their seven-year engagement in early 2013. The two first met when Murray starred as Lucas Scott on "One Tree Hill" and Dalton, 25, played a cheerleader extra.

The two released their statement asking for privacy just one week after Murray and Whelan were photographed together in a car while driving away from the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood.

The 32-year-old actor was married to his "One Tree Hill" co-star Sophia Bush. The two tied the knot in April 2005 after two years of dating, but after five months Bush filed to have the marriage annulled. There were reports of Murray cheating on Bush with Paris Hilton. 

In 2011, the actor claimed he was a changed man

"Um, you know, I was a kid and I guess, I just, I didn't see things as clear as I wish I did," Murray told E! News. "I was just living my life, going out, and I changed everything."
