Now that Michael Stagliano has collected all his winnings from Bachelor Pad 2 and the show has completed taping, he has lots of time and money on his hands to get his love life up and running again!

RumorFix can exclusively report that the reality TV star has been dating Dancing With The Stars pro Chelsie Hightower. We sat down with Stagliano at the KIIS FM gifting suite where he filled us in on his love life after being heart broken by ex-fiancée and fellow Bachelor cast mate Holly Durst. “I went on a date with Chelsie Hightower, it was amazing and she’s awesome, but then she was gone for like six weeks and I was gone for two weeks,” he said.

Although he tells us they’re not ‘officially’ dating, things are still looking up for the stud muffin. Because lucky for him he has a second date in order with the beautiful blonde! He told RumorFix exclusively, “we have plans to see each other again in December.”

The recently heart broken Bachelor Pad 2 winner gives hope to those who’ve been through the same thing, he tell us exclusively: “I’ve never been this happy in my life, I’m completely enjoying it. I’m single and having fun and enjoying life!” Adding that he’s “totally ready to meet ‘the’ girl!”

Holly Durst who?! We’re rooting for the next Brangelina to come out of Michael Stagliano and Chelsie Hightower…Stagtower!
