Pop star Ke$Ha stepped out with her new love interest in New York on Wednesday (28May14).

The TiK ToK hitmaker was first spotted getting intimate with a new man in April (14) but has remained silent on her boyfriend's identity.

A source close to the singer has now revealed to E! Online that New Jersey native Brad Ashenfelter and the performer have been dating for some time after meeting through Ke$ha's hairstylist, who is romantically involved with a mutual friend.

It has also been reported that the singer's new love played a supportive role while she spent time in a rehabilitation centre earlier this year (14) battling an eating disorder.
