Kim Kardashian, Pete Davidson officially in sizzling romance [VIDEO]

In a bold public display of affection, Kim Kardashian, 41, and Pete, 28, were seen holding hands on Wednesday while celebrating his birthday in Palm Springs, California.

Neither Kim nor Pete could hide their beaming smiles as they took a stroll near her momager Kris Jenner’s $12m mansion where they have been staying together, leaving little doubt their relationship is more than a passing fling.

Kardashian and Davidson are seen wearing the same brown pyjamas from her underwear label SKIMS.

The caption reads: “Pete… I never took a clock off my neck to give it to someone and you will be the last person I do this for… it lookz real good on you… happy birthday.”It is the first romantic partner for the reality star since she filed for divorce from estranged husband Kanye West in February this year.

Meanwhile, Pete, who turned 28 on Tuesday, has previously been romantically involved with a slew of celebrities including Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor, Kate Beckinsale, and his former fiancé Ariana Grande.

Ariana once famously gave Pete a very naughty reputation by commenting on the size of his manhood in a Twitter exchange, which popularized the phrase ‘big d**k energy’ or ‘BDE.’
