James Franco is dating Ashley Benson. The 127 Hours star began romancing the Pretty Little Liars beauty last month and insiders say the pair are smitten with each other.

"They have been seeing each other for a little over a month, but things are going well," a source told The New York Post.

Last year, James revealed he had split from his long-term girlfriend Ahna O'Reilly after dating for five years. He admitted the long-distance had become too much for them as he was studying English at Yale University, in New Haven, Connecticut, while she stayed in Los Angeles.
