It was sexy time in Paris for MELISSA GILBERT and her secret Ooh- la-la hunky new love!
Melissa Gilbert isn’t even divorced yet and she’s already found love again – with a handsome Frenchman she met during a solo trip to Paris over New Year’s.
Friends of the 47-year-old “Little House on the Prairie” star told The ENQUIRER she’s fallen head over heels for Thierry Gauchet, a 42-year-old vintage sports car salesman she met in the City of Light through a mutual friend.
Now the excited actress can hardly wait until Thierry – who runs the website http://www.luckyscars. net – visits her in Los Angeles for a romantic rendezvous. While he’s there, they’ll celebrate his April 30 birthday.
The twice-married star, now in the last stages of divorce from actor Bruce Boxleitner, is “crazy in love with Thierry,” revealed a close source.
“Ever since they fell for each other in Paris, they’ve been burning up the phone lines and carrying on the romance via the Internet.
“Thierry frequently phones her early in the morning for sexy wake-up calls.”
“DANCING With the STARS” work out for MELISSA GILBERT or just a wee nip and tuck?
Many a viewer watching the season preem expressed surprise at how fresh-faced and youthful Melissa, 47 appeared.
The Little House On The Prairie star not only been spending long hours rehearsing with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, but celeb plastic surgery guru Dr. Anthony Youn (who has not treated Melissa) thinks she got fitted by her nick-and-tuck-ster.
“Her face is surprisingly wrinkle-free for a woman her age. I suspect that she’s had some Botox to her forehead and crows feet, effectively smoothing them out,” Dr. Youm noted.
“She may also have had some filler injections like Restylane to the deep creases of her lower face as well. Overall her face looks longer than before, a likely combination of aging and some plastic surgery.”
After an acrimonious divorce from hubby Bruce Boxleitner after 16 years of marriage, it is understandable that Melissa would want a nip, tuck and needle-prick to feel young again now that she’s back on the market.
Butt Dr. Youn warns that injectables are only a temp fix, “Unless her face gets a Botox recharge, I bet we will see more wrinkles return over the next several months as it wears off,” he told RadarOnline.com.
