It looks like Julianne Hough has a new man.

The Safe Haven star stepped out in Los Angeles Sunday afternoon, sparking romance rumors after she was spotted holding hands with Canadian hockey player Brooks Laich while they headed out for a hike.

Rocking a white tank top, gym shorts and sneakers, Hough brought her two dogs along for the walk as she and the hunky NHL pro headed up the trail.

Following their outdoor excursion, the duo picked up some groceries at Bristol Farms, according to the Daily Mail, and headed out in Hough's white Mercedes SUV, with Laich in the driver's seat.

And it wasn't the first time they were spotted out together getting cozy.

The day before Valentine's Day, the pair was out holding hands again as they took a casual stroll in Los Angeles.

While it's not clear whether they spent Valentine's Day together, both Hough and Laich sent out sweet tweets just days before to celebrate the holiday.

"Share a kind gesture to a stranger today and show them the true meaning of love. Show love. Be love. Happy Valentine's Day!!," Hough posted in a photo message on Instagram.

"Happy Valentines Day everyone--hope you are spending it with that special someone who makes you happy! #onelove," Laich also wrote.

Hough's rep has not yet returned requests for comment.
