Check out this new, exclusive pic of Chris Tavarez and his gorgeous date at prom!

The 18-year-old former Avalon High star sent in these pics to JJJ to share with fans and we love them! Chris tells us about the dance, “It was a great experience!”

Chris will graduate from Westlake High School in just a few weeks and head off to Duke — where he received a football scholarship.

Chris also has two new projects coming up — NBC’s Magic Eye and Vh1′s Single Ladies.
