His relationship with Megan, 25, ended on a sour note, as they split following the strain of his training on DOI.

A source also told the publication: “Wes is having a really good time getting to know Lissy, they’ve been on some nice dates and they’ve been hanging out, going on shopping trips together and chilling at home.”

The gossiper added that 24-year-old Lissy is the reason Wes didn’t rush to reunite with Megan after their split.

The insider continued: “Lissy’s the reason Wes was so adamant he wouldn’t be getting back with Megan. She is absolutely stunning and he’s one very happy man.”
