A source told People that the couple met earlier this year!

“They became friends when they met at a Santa Monica restaurant in March. It’s very early but they seem to have an undeniable connection,” the source said. “But both are taking things slowly and enjoying getting to know each other. Meeting each other during COVID was challenging. He’s become her friend and loving confidante quickly.”

Ben also has ties to political families as his father was an Algerian diplomats. He is a father of two who separated from his wife back in 2019.

The source added, “He seems to be a good match as he has a deep understanding of all of Sandra‘s worlds from her professional life to her dedicated focus on family and commitment to philanthropy.”

The source also addressed the age difference in the couple, saying, “Ben is 13 years her junior, and Sandra struggled with the age difference refusing to date him at first. Ben was patient and reassured her that age is just a number.”

News of Sandra‘s new relationship comes just days after her ex Andrew Cuomo was found to have sexually harassed multiple women, according to an investigation by New York’s attorney general. They were together for 14 years before splitting in September 2019.
