Casey Anthony is back in the headlines, and this time, it’s not about courtroom drama but relationship drama. The woman who was once infamously dubbed “the most hated woman in America” is apparently dipping her toes into the dating pool again. Meanwhile, the guy she’s linked to is not exactly your average Joe. He’s a New Hampshire resident with some history.
Casey Anthony, now 39, was recently spotted getting cozy with a mystery man at the Seasons Tickets bar in Manchester, New Hampshire. The outing raised some serious eyebrows, especially once TMZ published the flirty photos. Now, the man’s identity has been revealed, and let’s just say it’s not what anyone expected.
Enter Ben Beauchemin, a war veteran, former Army Ranger, and ex-police officer who currently owns a gun shop called Wicked Weaponry in Hooksett, NH. According to sources, their dynamic is being labeled a “situationship.”
Casey Anthony Spotlight Looms Over Her New Hampshire Boyfriend
After their date night went viral, it seems that Ben may have been forced to deal with the spotlight in a way he wasn’t prepared for. Instead of going head first into the drama, he vanished, shut down his social media, and hasn’t been responding to his family.
Sources close to Beauchemin say his family didn’t even know he was seeing Anthony until the internet told them. After the photos hit the web, he reportedly stopped answering calls and deleted his Facebook page altogether.
As for Casey, she’s been trying to rebrand. Earlier this year, she took to TikTok to share that she’s now working in the legal space as a researcher and advocate. “I feel that it’s necessary, if I’m going to continue to operate appropriately as a legal advocate, that I start to advocate for myself and also advocate for my daughter,” she said in the video. Her tone was reflective, even remorseful, though public opinion on her hasn’t exactly softened.

Let’s not forget this is the same Casey Anthony who was acquitted of first-degree murder in 2011 after a highly controversial trial over the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. Prosecutors painted a chilling picture, alleging she used duct tape to suffocate the toddler. But in a shocking verdict, the jury found her not guilty of murder, convicting her only on charges of lying to police.
“Bold move bro,” one person commented about the situation online.
“I’m guessing kids aren’t in their future,” another stated.
“This guy is an adrenaline junkie,” a third comment read.
So, what’s next for this new New Hampshire “situationship”? Who knows. However, if Casey Anthony is involved, history tells us it won’t be without drama.
