It’s hard to come back from losing a loved one, but Omarosa Manigault seems to finally be ready.
Nearly one year after her fiancé, actor Michael Clarke Duncan, died at age 54 from complications stemming from a heart attack, the reality TV star is reportedly dating again.
Manigault, 39, is currently dating WWE pro Titus O’Neil, a source told People.
The two reportedly met at a WWE Superstars of Hope Party in Beverly Hills in August after being introduced to each other by their mutual friend Jawn Murray.
“She’s been really apprehensive about dating since Michael died,” the insider said. “But everyone who loves her has been encouraging her to step out and try it again.”
The 6-foot-5-inch, 325-pound movie star passed away on Sept. 3, 2012, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after suffering a massive heart attack in July.
“[He] suffered a myocardial infarction on July 13 and never fully recovered,” his rep said at the time.
Since then, Manigault, who found Duncan unresponsive and performed CPR on him, has been on the road to recovery.
Now it seems as though she is slowly easing into love again with the former arena football star. While their relationship is long-distance — she lives in Los Angeles, and he resides in Tampa — they reportedly video-chat often.
“Watching Monday Night WWE Raw with my nephew and we are cheering for WWE superstar, my tag team partner @TitusONeilWWE #BlessedLife,” she tweeted Aug. 19.
The former “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant is said to travel far and wide in order to see O’Neil perform in the ring. Yet she has not completely left her past behind, as photos of her and Duncan still adorn the wallpaper on her Twitter page.
