It's official! Kim Kardashian and 'Saturday Night Live' star Pete Davidson are 'officially dating'

It's official! Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson are "officially dating".

Page Six broke the news that the Saturday Night Live funnyman and the 41-year-old superstar influencer are in a budding relationship.

Although reps for the new couple reportedly didn’t immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment, the publication says they have exclusively learned that the pair are indeed an item.

This exciting romance news comes after Pete spent his 28th birthday with Kim and her mother Kris Jenner.

The news was shared by Public Enemy rapper Flava Flav, 62, who posted an Instagram tribute to his "adopted son", which included a photo Pete and Kim together.

The Fight the Power rapper wrote: "FLAVOR FLAV::: celebrating my adopted son Pete Davidson’s birthday wit the legendz @kimkardashian and @krisjenner. (sic)

The hip hop legend added a sweet comment about how lent him his signature clock neck chain, writing: "Pete,,, I never took a clock off my neck to give to someone and you will be the last person I do this for,,, it lookz real good on you,,,, happy birthday,,,, (sic)"

Kim nor Pete are yet to post photos of themselves together on social media, but rumours abound that they are an item.

A source told Us Weekly magazine that the SKIMS founder "is falling for" the comedian, and how "he makes her feel good, and feels excited to see what happens".

Another source told the magazine that there was potential for it as Kim is now separated from her husband Kanye West, the father of her four children, North, eight, Saint, five, Chicago, three, and Psalm, two.

The insider said: "Kim is single and having fun at the moment but things could turn romantic."

Entertainment Tonight also reported that Kim and Pete "are trying to play it off that they are just friends, but a little more than that right now".

A source said: "They are having a lot of fun together. Pete makes Kim laugh and makes her feel special. Pete is obviously thrilled and has a major crush on Kim."

Kim and Pete - whose ex-lovers include Kate Beckinsale, Kaia Gerber and Ariana Grande - met when the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star was hosting Saturday Night Live.
