After reportedly breaking up with her Australian BMX biker boyfriend, Audrina Patridge is rumored to be back in the dating field, this time purportedly hooking up with Chace Crawford. 

Earlier this month, news broke that former "The Hills" reality star had split with her on-and-off boyfriend for five years Corey Bohan. The "Gossip Girl" actor himself had also recently gotten out of his relationship with model Rachelle Goulding just last month.According to KpopStarz, the two were spotted getting cozy with each other in a Malibu party last July.

A source spilled the beans to RadarOnline about the rumored couple. The insider said, "They're just having fun for now, but they definitely seem like a good match. They're both really good people and love to have fun. They definitely looked like more than friends. They came together, partied all night together, and I think they even stayed over." 

However, the hookup at the Malibu party was reportedly not the first time for the two to meet up. According to The Belfast Telegraph, Audrina and Chace first met in 2008 at an event where the television actor unveiled of a new American muscle car. They apparently stayed in touch after that.

Meanwhile, speculations are spreading that Audrina is only using the "Gossip Girl" hottie as a rebound. This might be because "The Hills" star once talked about her and her former athlete boyfriend as a solid couple with plans for a potential future. Mail Online recalled an Us Weekly interview about Audrina, who addressed questions about the two getting married.

"We've been off and on for almost five years, but we've been solid," shared the star.

Chace, on the other hand, does not seem to mind this issue as he is also busy enjoying his single life. When he was asked about his romantic life by an Australian radio show, Chace was quoted by Telegraph as saying, "I am travelling too much right now. I am just trying to move in [to my new place] and I have a couple of independent films right now. LA is different. It's definitely a different town from New York, especially for meeting people."
