For a little over a month now, the She’s the Man star has been rumored to be dating a 40-year-old business owner.
The man, identified as Zachary, owns an event and security business and was first spotted with Amanda on her Instagram Story in late September.
The actress teased fans by sharing a carousel of photos from a getaway with the man, whom she referred to as her “boyfriend.”

“Special getaway with my boo,” she captioned the first image at the time.
In her latest Instagram Story, however, the man’s face isn’t visible, the snap shows his body from the neck down, with the focus on his right hand.
Dressed in all black, he held a bright blue rose, seemingly offering it to Amanda.

Interestingly, the rose seems to have become a recurring pattern in most of Bynes’ recent Instagram posts since she hinted at her relationship with Zachary.
She has shared several photos of roses in different colors, from pink to blue to red, ranging from single stems to full bouquets.
And while neither of the two has officially confirmed their relationship, an insider close to Bynes told TMZ that the actress and Zachary are indeed casually dating.

“They soon decided to take their friendship to the next level. They’re not rushing things, but they’re enjoying each other’s company. The vibe between them is low-key casual dates, quality time, and just getting to know one another.”
The source added, “Amanda is still focused on her passions of making art and developing her screenplay, but she’s letting herself embrace this budding romance.”

An eyewitness also told the publication that they had spotted Bynes and her new man on a casual outing, holding hands in Hollywood.
Before this, the former Nickelodeon star was in a public relationship with her on-again, off-again ex-fiancé, Paul Michael.
The two were together from 2019 to 2023 and got engaged around Valentine’s Day in 2020.

Following their split, Paul alleged that the breakup stemmed from Amanda’s public mental health crisis, during which she was seen walking unclothed through the streets of Los Angeles.
This incident even led to her being placed on a psychiatric hold in early 2023.
Bynes had previously been under a conservatorship since 2013 due to multiple legal issues, which officially ended in 2022.

However, not all fans seem thrilled about her new romance. Several followers of the Sydney White star expressed concern and even mocked her budding relationship.
One critic said, “She definitely has a type. I can barely tell the difference between her old boyfriend and the current one.”
Another commented, “She’s attracting men who are simply there to use her and get the monetary benefit of dating her. Trips, money, etc.”

“We can only hope this man’s intentions are good,” a third user added.
In recent years, Amanda has also drawn attention for her striking transformation, looking almost unrecognizable from her early TV days.
The actress, who has several tattoos including a heart outline inked on her left cheek, recently showcased yet another cosmetic enhancement on Instagram.

In the image, Bynes sported bold black eyebrows, platinum blonde hair, and noticeably fuller lips.
According to reports, she has undergone a few procedures, including lip injections and blepharoplasty.

One concerned fan commented, “Sweetheart you don’t need lip fillers. And whoever tattooed those horrendous eyebrows on her should be charged with a crime.”
“Hopefully he is good for her and he’s stable enough to deal with her issues,” one user expressed
