Casey Anthony has resurfaced—and this time, she’s sparking headlines for cozying up with a New Hampshire man whose past is just as intriguing as her own.
TMZ has learned the mystery bearded man spotted with Casey during a recent night out is Ben Beauchemin, a war veteran, former Army Ranger, and owner of Wicked Weaponry, a gun shop in Hooksett, NH.
Spotted: Cozy Night Out in Manchester
Casey, 38, was seen sharing drinks and laughs with Ben Wednesday night at a sports bar in Manchester. The pair looked relaxed and comfortable, sparking immediate curiosity about their relationship status.
👀 The next day, Casey was seen shopping at a local T.J. Maxx, further fueling rumors of her extended stay in New Hampshire.
Who Is Ben Beauchemin?
Ben, a rugged outdoorsman with a military background, has led an eventful life:
✔️ Former Army Ranger & War Veteran
✔️ Ex-Police Officer
✔️ Skydiving Enthusiast
✔️ Gun Shop Owner – Wicked Weaponry, Hooksett NH
While his professional life is well-documented, his personal life has suddenly come under the microscope thanks to his connection with one of America’s most controversial figures.
A “Situationship” Confirmed?
A source in Manchester tells TMZ the duo is openly describing their bond as a “situationship”—a term often used to describe a relationship that’s not quite official but more than casual.
But the publicity around their outings appears to have rattled Ben. Family insiders reveal that after TMZ published photos of his date night with Casey, Ben:
📵 Stopped responding to family members
🚫 Shut down his Facebook account
“No one in Ben’s large, tight-knit family even knew he was spending time with Casey until they saw the photos online,” a source said.
Ben’s Past in the Spotlight
This isn’t Ben’s first brush with media attention. In January 2024, he appeared in a New York Times election coverage segment, saying he was “undecided” about the primary elections.
Ben described himself as supportive of:
✔️ The Second Amendment
✔️ Women’s reproductive rights
Despite political differences in his area—Trump won Hooksett by 4.8 points while Harris took Manchester by 7.7 points—Ben’s stances don’t seem to have created friction with Casey.
The Internet Reacts
Unsurprisingly, social media has lit up with hot takes:
💬 “Casey Anthony dating a gun shop owner? You can’t make this up.”
💬 “Ben’s family must be freaking out right now.”
💬 “A situationship is the perfect word for this chaos.”
What’s Next for Casey and Ben?
It’s unclear how Casey and Ben met or how serious their connection might be, but the public’s fascination with her post-trial life ensures every move will be scrutinized.
With Ben retreating from social media, sources say the couple may try to keep things as private as possible moving forward.
