"They're dating, it's very new," a source told People. "They just started going out recently but are having a great time."
Von Staehle is allegedly in the process of completing her master's degree in graphic design and recently visited Murray in his hometown of Atlanta, GA.
"They were hanging out and going out," the source said. "They have a lot of mutual interests and are having a lot of fun together."
Murray, 31, posted a photo of the couple on Instagram earlier this week. It appeared they were sitting in the park with Murray's cute dog Sabel.
"What an amazing week with @akatharinav," the former pro baseball player captioned the photo. "Sabel and I will see you soon -- almost time to migrate south."
Ironically, when Murray took a lie detector test during Dorfman's season of The Bachelorette, his results revealed he actually preferred blondes over brunettes, which Dorfman teased him about during After the Final Rose. She must not be too happy right now, especially since some of Murray's Instagram followers are calling Von Staehle an "upgrade" from Dorfman.
Murray proposed to Dorfman in May 2014 although their engagement didn't air on The Bachelorette until July of that year. The pair announced in a joint January 2015 statement they had decided to call it quits. Sources said they both wanted to be "alpha" in the relationship, so they constantly butt heads and were in a power struggle.
Murray surprisingly told E! News in late March he didn't even miss Dorfman.
"We're friends and everything like that. But at the end of the day, when you're very different from somebody else it just doesn't work out," he explained.
Dorfman, on the other hand, cried to Chris Harrison a few weeks before Murray made that comment during a candid interview about her heart being broken on The Bachelor: [Chris Soules] Tells All special. She spontaneously moved to New York City for a fresh start in March.
"I'm looking for a guy that definitely is going to be accepting of who I am and kind of appreciate the fact that I want to be a strong, powerful woman," Dorfman told People in April. "Definitely a family guy and somebody who can just handle his own."

Iaconetti later revealed there was a bit of mutual interest there but nothing ever happened between them.
