Notorious “tot mom” Casey Anthony has been cozying up in a “situationship” with an ex-cop who now owns a gun store, according to a report.

Anthony, once dubbed the “most hated mom in America,” has been spotted around New Hampshire with Ben Beauchemin, owner of the Wicked Weaponry gun shop in Hookset, according to TMZ.

Photos showed them enjoying food and beer at a sports bar in Manchester on Wednesday night, the outlet said.

Anthony, 39, and Beachemin — an ex-cop who also served in the US Army Rangers — are not officially dating but appear to be in a “situationship,” a source in Manchester told TMZ.

After the photos emerged, Beauchemin shut down his Facebook page and stopped responding to his family — who had no clue that he and Anthony even knew each other, a family source said.

Beauchemin was featured in a January 2024 New York Times article about the upcoming elections, in which he described himself as an undecided voter who felt at odds with many of his friends because of his staunch belief in gun rights.

“I have a lot of liberal friends, and I sometimes don’t wanna tell them that I own a gun store,” he said with a chuckle.

“There’s a part of me that believes it would be business suicide to admit that I am liberal and I just happen to really love the Second Amendment.”

While it’s unknown for whom he voted, Anthony has rebranded herself as a legal advocate for women and LGBTQ people earlier this year to oppose President Trump.

She had split from her married boyfriend, 49-year-old Tyson Ray Rhodes, last fall after several months together.

Anthony was accused of suffocating her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, who was reported missing in 2008 after she hadn’t been seen for more than a month.

The little girl’s remains were found months later, wrapped in duct tape inside a laundry bag in a wooded area near her family’s home outside Orlando.

Casey was charged with her murder — but acquitted by a jury after a 2011 trial that drew 40 million viewers from around the world.
