(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jennie Garth has been seen out holding hands with photographer Noah Abrams.

The mother-of-three's estranged husband, Twilight star Peter Facinelli, filed for divorce nearly five months ago after 11 years of marriage.

Although the 40-year-old recently told Fox and Friends that the idea of romance with a new man fills her with dread, she is now rumoured to be dating again.

A source confirmed to People magazine that Jennie met Noah through a mutual friend and the pair are enjoying a casual romance.

Noah has shot for numerous publications including Vanity Fair and Sports Illustrated.

Earlier this month, Jennie was appalled by the thought of dating.

"I always said I would rather lick a dirty floor than go back to dating," she laughed on Fox and Friends TV show.

"Dating is very new for me. I have training wheels on right now, because I was married for so long.

"That's my whole adult life, basically. I think I'm actually going back into adult adolescence. I'm having a moment.

"[I've] met a few people of the opposite sex. They come into it knowing who I am or my history. I know nothing about them, so I have a weird disadvantage." (C) Cover Media
