(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Lauren Conrad has reportedly found love again.

The Hills star had split with ex-boyfriend Kyle Howard, 34, last June and hasn't been seen with a significant other since.

But Us Weekly claims that the author and fashion designer has struck up a relationship with University of Southern California law student William Tell, who is also from her native Orange County.

"They have dated for a few months," a source told the publication about Lauren, 26, and the aspiring attorney, 32.

William is also a musician and is the former guitarist for alternative band Something Corporate.

The couple were set up by mutual friends on a Valentine's Day double date where they "really connected."

"Billy gravitates towards dynamic women," his ex-girlfriend and former The Bachelor contestant Sadie Murray said.

"He doesn't date just to date. He's either deeply in love or he's on to the next thing." (C) Cover Media
