Until now, Kim has kept her dating life private after her very public split from Alec Baldwin. She's been battling agoraphobia and other anxieties in recent years, but Kim’s feeling better and has gone public again. That includes spending time with Mitch, a former construction worker and musician with a grown son.

“They have been together for a while now,” an insider tells 'Closer.' “They have a lot of fun.”
