Aldean, Lambert and Stapleton take top ACM honors 03:09

Blake Shelton might be dating Gwen Stefani, but his ex-wife Miranda Lambert has a new romance stirring up as well.

The country star, who won Female Vocalist of the Year at Sunday's Academy of Country Music Awards, brought along her new boyfriend. Anderson East, who is a rhythm and blues singer.

ET reports that the couple have been dating since last year, and the two looked quite cozy during their first awards show together. Lambert and East held hands, and a source told ET they were very affectionate.

Lambert has alluded to her relationship before on social media; she posted a photo of herself snuggling with East on Instagram and wrote, "The snuggle is real."

The country singer divorced Shelton last year after four years of marriage, but have maintained a cordial relationship -- at least on social media.
