Chef Sandra Lee has a new man in her life: Ben Youcef.

Lee, 55, who previously dated New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, has been linked to Youcef for the last couple of weeks. Most recently, the pair were spotted vacationing in Europe.

Lee's new relationship with Youcef has turned heads. The couple was recently photographed locking lips in Saint-Tropez. Plus, all eyes are on Lee's love life as it comes at a turbulent time for Cuomo, who continues to be involved in an ongoing sexual harassment scandal.

The politician was found to have sexually harassed multiple women according to a report released last week by Attorney General Letitia James.

"They became friends when they met at a Santa Monica restaurant in March. It's very early but they seem to have an undeniable connection," a source told the magazine. "But both are taking things slowly and enjoying getting to know each other."

A friend of Lee's told the magazine the chef is enjoying Youcef's differences compared to her ex.

"I think she needed someone completely different from Andrew. It took her two years for her to even consider dating again as she wanted to be sure she could make herself happy and to heal before she brought someone in her life," a friend of Lee told People magazine

While it remains unclear if Lee knew of her ex's extracurricular activities, Cuomo was revered as a caring partner to Lee when she was diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2015 and ultimately underwent a double mastectomy.

The New York Post reported in April that those who worked for Cuomo at the time questioned whether his outward support for Lee during her illness was all a ruse to save face in the eye of the public.

In a joint statement at the time, the former pair said over the "recent past," they "realized" their lives have "gone in different directions."

"Our romantic relationship has turned into a deep friendship," they said, adding, "We will always be family and are fully supportive of each other and dedicated to the girls. Our personal lives remain personal, and there will be no further comment."

Cuomo has continuously denied any wrongdoing regarding the harassment allegations.
