Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchinson

Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchinson

Courtney Stodden is reportedly dating a model.

The 19-year-old star - who recently split from her husband of two-and-a-half years Doug Hutchinson - was spotted hunting for a Christmas tree in Los Angeles yesterday (23.12.13) with hunky Ray.

A source told E! News: "They had a nice time. He's a really nice guy and he's already planning their second date!"

The buxom beauty decided to end her romance with her 53-year-old spouse after their 35-year age difference put a strain on their relationship.

Despite their separation, the couple are still working and living in close quarters, Doug has retained his position as Courtney's co-manager and the pair have continued to share their marital home.

Courtney was propelled into the spotlight in May 2011 when she tied the knot with Doug in a Las Vegas wedding aged just 16, and she is now excited to make the most of being a "little girl" again.

She said previously: "I got that it was unconventional but I didn't get how weird and strange it came across ... I am happy and I am excited. I feel like a little girl again. Just being able to start over. When I was 16, I got my marriage license instead of my driver's license."
