Since she’s lost a lot of weight on Dancing With the Stars and made a bunch of new friends, Kirstie Alley says she has newfound confidence in herself. So confident is she, in fact, that she may have just landed herself a boyfriend more than half her age, DWTS dancer Ted Volynets.

Kirstie and Ted went out for lunch the other day, TooFab says, and ended their date with a kiss on the lips. The photos of the kiss have already sparked romance rumors.

Of course, fans will know that Kirstie does have a habit of kissing her male friends, with whom she’s not romantically involved, on the lips, having already done it to partner Maks and Romeo, the e-zine notes.

“The 60-year-old actress – who has already kissed former Dancing With the Stars partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy and celeb dancer Romeo – was spotted in NYC today planting a wet one on another young guy,” TooFab says.

The hot young guy was later identified as Ted Volynets, one of the dancers on the DWTS troupe. Presumably, he and Kirstie became friendly during her stint on the latest season of the show.

While chances of them being just friends are still pretty high, voices online point out that Kirstie also tweeted a photo of a shirtless Ted just recently.

By the looks of it, it seems to have been taken in bed – presumably after a night of lovemaking, some say.

If it’s true, the actress is not saying anything about it. “KOO KOO KACHOOOOO!!! @TeddyV,” is all she writes in the caption to the aforementioned picture.

Speaking of her stint on DWTS, Kirstie revealed shortly after the show ended (and she and Maks came out on second place), that she was literally half the woman she used to be, plus with extra motivation and energy.

“My dress is half the size it was when we started. I have a lot more strength and stamina! [DWTS has] made me alive again. It’s given me a new view of what I want to do in my life,” she said, as we also reported at the time.

According to rumors online, that also includes dating 20something-year-old men.
