Laverne Cox Is Gushing About Her New Man – And You'll Never Guess Where She Met Him

The actress recently took a huge step with her bae.

It seems that Laverne Cox may have found her dream man, as she recently revealed that she's happily dating and is "in love" with one lucky fella.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, the Orange Is the New Black star revealed that she and her current boyfriend, whom she's been with for eight months now, actually met on Tinder.

So, what's Cox's approach to first dates? Does she get done up or does she keep it casual? She didn't hesitate when sharing that she definitely goes for the latter for quite a logical reason.

"I'm not putting effort into a guy I don't know yet," she said. "You might not look like your pictures. You might smell. I showed up with my current boyfriend... like, with no makeup. I had some jean shorts, and it worked out."

And worked out it did as the actress revealed that she's met his parents and he's also met her mother and "everybody gets along."

"I'ts incredible," she added. "It's like love is so incredibly healing. I'm just so happy. When you're happy... love is life-saving."
