Casey Anthony’s new boyfriend is reportedly seeking other people after she moved to Tennessee to be close to him.
According to the New York Post, two women have claimed that 48-year-old Tyson Ray Rhodes is using the dating app Hinge to seek hookups. Rhodes ended his 20-year marriage, reportedly to be with Anthony, who moved from her home state of Florida to Tennessee, according to what sources told the outlet.
The Post reports that it reviewed screenshots of conversations between the women and a Hinge account allegedly connected to Rhodes, where he described himself as single and looking.
In one message, a woman mentioned the story about Anthony and asked, “Did you know you’re in The New York Post for dating Casey Anthony?”
Rhodes reportedly replied, “Yep.”
She said she turned down his invitation after he shared his past. The second woman reportedly said Rhodes told her he was divorced, though sources said he is still legally married.
Both women have been communicating with Rhodes for an extended period, including messages from the past week, according to the Post.
“So he’s still married and he is dating Casey Anthony on the side, but he’s still on dating apps,” one of the women said. “I’m not just a ‘no,’ I’m a ‘hell no.’ He is absolutely not the right guy for me.”
As CrimeOnline previously reported, Anthony has been in a relationship with Rhodes since January. The two met at a gym in Florida, where they both worked out.
The pair reportedly communicated in a group text with other gym members, but soon began talking privately, sources said.

For weeks in 2008, Anthony lied to police, claiming she left her daughter, Caylee, with a nanny who turned out to be fictional. It took Anthony 31 days to report Caylee missing, despite the insistence of her parents, who were close to the child. Anthony stalled her parents by claiming she was too busy at work, although her job also turned out to be fictional.
Local media picked up the story and soon after, national media caught on, creating one of the most high-profile searches of the decade, as volunteers from across the nation flocked to Florida to help find Caylee.
In December 2008, a local meter reader located the remains of a young child close to the Anthony family’s Orlando home. Officials later confirmed that the remains were of Caylee. Police arrested Anthony and charged her with murder.
On July 5, 2011, Anthony was acquitted of murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated manslaughter of a child. She was found guilty on four counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer.
According to a 2011 Florida Department of Corrections statement, Anthony became “one of the most hated women in America.” The nickname came after the masses blamed Anthony for Caylee’s death, despite the verdict.
Meanwhile, a friend of Anthony’s told the Post that Anthony couldn’t care less about her new boyfriend being married.
“She doesn’t care if he’s married or not,” the friend said.
“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.”
“I asked her about it.. She sees potential in him. She wants to see where this goes,”
