The ex-star of The O.C. has reportedly found love again in the arms of Leo Wyndham.
Wyndham, a 23-year-old aspiring actor who is the same age as Barton, has been a positive influence on the actress. A source told FemaleFirst that the two have been dating for a month now.
The couple met in New York after Barton left a Los Angeles hospital, where she was placed under psychiatric care.
Barton insisted that she was simply going through a difficult string of events, including a bad experience with wisdom teeth extractions that caused her excruciating pain.
