After initially denying that they were dating, TLC's Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas and '90s heartthrob Matthew Lawrence have confirmed their romance. The 51-year-old singer and 42-year-old actor were previously spotted vacationing together. Paparazzi photographed them enjoying time at the beach; however, rumors of a budding relationship were quickly thwarted.
Yet, the pair are kicking off the new year by revealing to the world that they are, indeed, seeing one another. PEOPLE reported that Chilli's representative confirmed the gossip, adding that the couple began dating sometime around Thanksgiving.

Chilli and Lawrence have reportedly known each other for some time as they both emerged as 1990s stars. The singer's rep also stated that Lawrence spent the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays with Chilli and her relatives.
"I've been with Chilli since 2005 and I've never seen her this in love," the rep told PEOPLE. "She is glowing. They are really cute together."
The TLC hitmaker has been tied to major players like Dallas Austin and Usher, but most of her love life has gone unknown. Back in 2010, What Chilli Wants premiered and documented the singer's quest to find true love.
