Eric Ryan/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were seen holding hands Monday night while attending Scott Disick’s grand opening of RYU, his new restaurant in New York City’s Meatpacking District. It was the first time the two showed affection towards each other in public.
The couple, both dressed in black, isn’t “serious” just yet, according to Kim’s sister Khloe.
“It’s a really good friendship that went into dating,” Khloe told US Weekly. “She wore the KW earrings, that pretty much confirmed that.”
The reality star was first spotted sporting gold and diamond earrings with West’s initials while walking through LAX airport on Sunday. Kim kept the “K.W.” earrings in her ears at the Monday night restaurant opening as well.
Best friend and publicist Johnathan Cheban approves of the budding relationship, saying, “It’s much happier than the last time, that’s for sure!”
Rumors about Kim and West’s budding relationship became the talk of tabloids recently when the Grammy Award-winning rapper released his song “Way Too Cold” — formerly known as “Theraflu” — in which he raps that he “fell in love” with Kim.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is technically still married to NBA pro Kris Humphries. The two became estranged just after 72 days of marriage and are currently in the middle of a divorce.
