Who is The Real Dirty Dancing star dating?

Love has been in a relationship with actor James Welsh since 2018, when they met on a dating app. Speaking about Welsh, Love said:

“We've been together for like three years, and James is hilarious. It's nice to have somebody that you can share the holidays with. He's always there. He's been a great support system for me."

She added:

"Because his kids are grown, and I don't have any children, we usually try to travel during that time, because we're [usually] both really busy working.”

The duo often post pictures on social media and doesn’t shy away from showing some PDA.

Meanwhile, Love is prepping to compete in her upcoming show, The Real Dirty Dancing, on FOX at 9.00 pm ET on February 1, Tuesday.
