Castle star Nathan Fillion has a new main squeeze – George Clooney's old one: Krista Allen.
Clooney and Allen, an actress who stars in the new CW summer series Significant Mother, dated on and off for four years from 2002 to 2006. Krista claimed she split with the actor because of his unwillingness to commit and his roving eye.
But sources say 44-year-old Fillion only has eyes for Allen, and she's been swept off her feet by him.
The handsome actor, who plays Richard Castle on the ABC series, met Allen, also 44, on the Castle set in October when she made a guest appearance. Now the two are quietly canoodling.
'Krista did a guest spot on an episode entitled Last Action Hero,' says a source. 'They were both single and they hit it off. Since then, they have been spending every spare moment together and they are even talking about moving in together.'

The source says the main reason the couple hasn't made the move to live under the same roof, is because twice-divorced Allen has a 17-year-old son.
'Krista wants to make sure she and Nathan are moving in the right direction before they start living together,' says the source. 'Her son Jake is her top priority and he's already been through two divorces with her, so she doesn't want to bring another man in the picture until she's sure the relationship will last.'
Allen was married to Jake's father producer Justin Merit from 1996 to1999 and in 2010 she married Persian rapper – Mims Taylor - but that union only lasted six months before the couple split, divorcing in February 2012.
'Jake and Nathan bonded from day one,' says the source. 'Nathan has never been married nor does he have any children of his own so having a 17-year-old kid in his life that looks up to him as a role model has been great.
'The boys love taking hikes in LA's Runyon Canyon together, and they love going to Laker Games. And recently, while Krista was away filming in New Orleans, Nathan stepped up to the plate and took care of Jake. He also agreed to dog sit Krista's beagle pup Jack.
Tight: Nathan scored points when he arranged to take Krista's son Jake to the Los Angeles premiere of the new Avengers movie, Avengers: The Age of Ultron
Tension was so thick between Fillion and ex-girlfriend and co-star Stana Katic this past season that when one of them walked onto the set, the other one walked off, says an insider
'But Nathan really managed to make points when he arranged to take Jake to the Los Angeles premiere of the new Avengers movie, Avengers: The Age of Ultron,' says the source.
'Jake got all dressed up in a suit and got to walk the red carpet with Nathan, and afterwards Nathan took him out for a fancy dinner. Jake was really excited to see the film, and even more excited to be doing it as a VIP.'
While Fillion is crazy about Krista, he's not as enamored with his ex- girlfriend and Castle co-star, Stana Katic.
Katic, who recently married a Croatian businessman, say won't be returning to the show next season. say insiders.
'The Castle cast just found out the show will be picked up for another season,' says the source. 'It's no secret that there is no love lost between these two, 'Things got so bad between them this past season that when one of them walked onto the set, the other one walked off.
'In fact, tensions became so high that Stana, who plays Kate Beckett, just didn't want to deal with the stress anymore, so when Nathan agreed to sign on for two more seasons, she made the decision not to sign again at all.
'No one is sure just how this will play out,' adds the source. 'There is always a possibility Stana will make a couple guest appearances during the season, but as far as her being back in her weekly role – it's just not going to happen.'
