Romance is in the air for the "Pretty Little Liars" actress Shay Mitchell as she has been quietly dating ET Canada reporter Matte Babel for a few months.

"They are serious and are having fun together," the same source tells ET. It was reported that the couple was introduced through mutual friends in Los Angeles. Though Shay is an actress and Matte is a reporter, they have more in common than you may think. It was revealed that both have Canadian roots. Mitchell and Babel are both from Toronto. Babel is known to be a good friend with fellow Toronto natives Drake and Ryan Silverstein. Apparently, Ryan happens to be Mitchell's ex-boyfriend.

Matte brought and introduced Shay with him to Drake's 30th birthday party as the source tells TMZ. To confirm their relationship, both spent the holidays together.

Investigating Mitchell's social media accounts, the new couple rang the New Year together in Tulum, Mexico while Shay uploaded several gorgeous photos of herself in her Instagram account. She even posed with a few Snapchat filters with her beau.

Meanwhile, Shay's hit TV Series "Pretty Little Liars" teases it fans. Earlier this week, ABC Network kicked off 2017 by dropping a new trailer for PLL's season 7B which is the final season. And the new promo seems to only support creator I. Marlene King's hint that none of the beloved characters are safe, according to Perez Hilton

Mitchell expressed a heartfelt goodbye video to mark the end of production on the seventh and final season of "Pretty Little Liars", which will begin airing on this spring.

"Sad, anxious, excited, terrified, inspired, gratified, nervous, unsure, proud, upset, accomplished, relieved, devastated, lucky: I didn't know it was possible to feel so much at once, yet I sit here with all my feelings," the 29-year-old said.

"Pretty Little Liars" comes back April 18th for Season 7 Episode 11 "Playtime".
