Lady Gagaappears to be moving on after splitting fromex-fiancé Christian Carinoearlier this year.
On Sunday, Gaga, 33, was photographed kissing her monitor engineer Dan Horton, 37, during a brunch date at Granville restaurant in Studio City, California.
Multiple onlookers tell PEOPLE exclusively that Gaga and Horton appeared to be more than friends and were seen smooching multiple times while dining. In one photo, Gaga is seen standing and bending over to kiss Horton as he sits at their table at the L.A. hot spot.

A fellow diner says the singer — who “looked amazing” in black cutoff shorts, a black bodysuit and boots — remained low-key at the eatery and turned down photos with fans who approached her as she and Horton left. “She seemed confident and in a good place,” adds the diner.
“Ironically, she had a table in the front near the sidewalk, so she was clearly okay with being seen,” adds the diner. “She seemed very happy when interacting with the guy she was with.”

Though the two were spotted kissing at Granville, another source who spotted the couple at Lemonade says the two were busy chatting but refrained from PDA as they ordered drinks at the cafeteria-style chain.
According to his LinkedIn page, Horton has worked as a monitor engineer for the singer since November 2018. He is also the owner of Audio Engineering Consulting Group, according to the site, and has previously worked with other big-name artists such asCamila Cabello,Bruno MarsandJustin Timberlake.
Horton, who is Nashville-based, was previously married to actress Autumn Guzzardi, who is currently starring in the off-Broadway musicalRock of Ages. The two tied the knot in 2013, and Guzzardi’s most recent Instagram post of the two is from 2016.
“Who’s excited for @ladygaga and #LG6 ?” the account posted, attributing the image to Horton. “Here are a few of her JH16 IEMs.”
One Gaga fan account shared a since-deleted Instagram Story from Horton’s now-private account, tying the “Bad Romance” singer to the audio engineer.
“Dan Horton, an audio mixer who worked with Gaga as recently as Enigma, apparently posted this on his Instagram story today and deleted it shortly after,” the account tweeted. “Do you think it could be related to Gaga’s upcoming music?”

“It just didn’t work out. Relationships sometimes end,” a source said at the time. “There’s no long dramatic story.”
