Tyler Stanaland has been spotted cosying up to his Selling The OC co-star Alex Hall, following his split from his wife Brittany Snow.
The real-estate agent announced his split from the actress earlier this week, after two years of marriage.
In photos published by TMZ, Tyler and Alex were seen getting close on a night out with pals in Newport Beach – the same day Tyler and Brittany’s split was announced.

A source told the outlet that Tyler and Alex “weren’t overly intimate, but seemed more than friendly – touching each other as they walked out the bar”.
The pair were joined by four pals at the sushi restaurant SOTA on Wednesday, including castmate Polly Brindle.
A few hours after the sighting, Tyler and Brittany announced their split in separate statements shared via Instagram.
According to reports, Tyler’s role on Selling The OC put a strain on their marriage.
A source told PEOPLE: “Brittany never wanted Tyler on the show but he was adamant. He wanted to make a name for himself on his own terms.”
Another insider added: “They’re fully over. All of the girls [on the show] are obsessed with him. He’s been trying to be really respectful but it’s taken a toll on his marriage 100 percent.”
During the show’s first season, which premiered in August, drama unfolded between Tyler and his co-stars when he revealed Kayla Cardona tried to kiss him on two separate occasions.
Polly Brindle claimed she witnessed the alleged attempts by Kayla “twice”, and Austin Victoria claimed Kayla told Tyler that “no one had to know” about it.
Tyler told Kayla her actions made him feel uncomfortable as he was married, and Kayla promised it would never happen again.
The 33-year-old accepted that she made a mistake, and also apologised for blurring the lines between their professional and personal relationships.
Tyler and Brittany began dating in 2018, after Tyler slid into Brittany’s DMs.
The couple got engaged in early 2019 when Tyler popped the question in their kitchen, and they tied the knot on March 14, 2020.
