How do I stop being shy?

So I recently got my second boyfriend and we’ve been dating for about a year and a half and we are both super shy around each other. We talk here and there but I really want to not be shy around him. I’m completely fine with texting him but when it comes to talking to him or even being near him I can’t function. I just so nervous. My first relationship was a long distance one so I havent got the chance to meet and talk in person and get over my shyness. And we’ve hugged once in our relationship. How do I the courage to actually talk to him? Any advice?
