The name of Chase Benz, who serves as one of Britney Spears' back-up dancers on her "Circus" tour, has made its way all over the Internet in the wake of mounting reports that he and Britney are dating. The 21-year-old dancer, according to Star Magazine, "has got Britney's pulse racing" on and off stage.

"Brit really loves the way Chase looks, and she has a thing for Southern boys with loads of charm," a source tells the print media. "She's totally into him. And being on tour again, plus having a sexy new guy to get close to, has put Brit in a great frame of mind."

And while not much is known about Chase, his grandmother Elsie Mann has been quoted as telling Star that he is "a true gentleman and has a big heart." On Chase's feeling toward Britney, he reportedly "just adores her!"

Speculation on Britney Spears romancing Chase Benz emerges nearly three weeks after a source close to the pop singer denied that she is dating her talent agent Jason Trawick. No denial nor confirmation has been made by Britney or her people regarding Chase's romance rumor, but Star Magazine promises more details on the story on its new issue, which will go on sale on Wednesday, April 1. Commentary from Kevin Federline, Britney's ex-husband, on her alleged new boy toy is also included in the edition.
