Brett Oppenheim has a new leading lady in his life.
TheSelling Sunsetreal estate agent, 45, was spotted out at dinner on August 13 withtattoo artistSamantha Abdul in Beverly Hills.
The two were dressed in all black with Abdul wearing a figure-hugging dress paired with heels and a sparkling purse while the reality star wore a button-up dress shirt and dark pants.
A source close to Abdul tells PEOPLE that the two met in July while vacationing in Mykonos, Greece, and “they clicked right away.” Abdul is based in Hamburg, Germany, but she and Oppenheim have been meeting up around the world, including on a recent trip to Budapest, Hungary. “They have seen each other several times since they met in spite of the big distance,” says the source. “They enjoy each other’s company and love spending time together.”
Still, the source says that “at the moment they want to take things slow and see where it takes them.”
Abdul already has a child but “has no plans for any further kids of her own,” the source adds, noting this “definitely takes a lot of pressure off the relationship. They can completely concentrate on getting to know each other.”
Brett has already introduced Abdul to his twin brother,Jason Oppenheim, and some friends includingMary Fitzgerald and Romain BonnetfromSelling Sunset.

The budding relationship comes months after Brettannounced his splitfrom model Tina Louise in an Instagram story in December in response to a follower’s question.
