In 2011, Casey Anthony made headlines after the disappearance and death of her daughter Caylee. Anthony was charged with Caylee's murder, and a media circus followed the trial, especially once it was believed that Anthony killed her daughter to be able to hang out with friends and date.
Since being acquitted, Anthony has been in and out of the public eye, usually because of her relationships. It looks like Anthony is yet again in a new relationship, and this time it's with a man who has been married for over two decades and has a family. Apparently, Anthony is quite happy in this relationship, and reportedly doesn't care how it's affecting others.

They have been dating for several months.
According to the New York Post, Anthony has been in a relationship with Tyson Ray Rhodes since January 2024. The pair met working out at the same South Florida gym.

Anthony has relocated to be closer to Rhodes.
Anthony, who had been living in South Florida, moved to Tennessee to be closer to Rhodes. The two were spotted together at her luxury apartment.
"She doesn’t care if he’s married or not," a friend of Anthony's told New York Post. "That’s his business. All she knows is that he makes her feel good, and she likes that. She was willing to follow him to Tennessee; she sees a future with him." The friend also shared that they "asked her about it."
"I was like, 'Casey, a married guy?' and she just laughed and said, 'Oh shut up, I’m living the life I want.'"
Rhodes has allegedly asked for a divorce, but hasn't done anything else.
Rhodes, who is an engineer for an aerospace company, has been married to his wife Sandy for 22 years. The family moved from South Florida to Tennessee at the beginning of the year.
Shortly after their move, Rhodes reportedly shocked his wife, telling her that he wanted a divorce. Sources close to the family told the outlet that she was "blindsided" by the news. After Rhodes announced his desire for a divorce, his wife went back to Florida, allowing Anthony to make her way into Tennessee.
The new couple has been flaunting the relationship since January.
In late January, Anthony and Rhodes were spotted out to dinner with two other couples.
"They were holding hands and kissing, and he even touched her butt," an onlooker told New York Post. "She got up to order a drink, and they noticed that people were staring. He said to her, 'Bring that innocent ass over here.' He didn’t care."
A family member told the outlet that Rhodes is extremely attracted to Anthony, saying she has an "intoxicating" aura.
Anthony is taking this relationship seriously.
In recent years, Anthony has had a number of romantic relationships with various men. However, her friends told New York Post that her relationship with Rhodes is not like the others.
"She sees potential in him," the friend said. "She wants to see where this goes."
