The social media influencer and her new beau have been fuelling romance rumours for weeks now.

Kylie Jenner has been in the spotlight since she was a little girl, thanks to Keeping Up With the Kardashians. As she grew up in the public eye, the mother of two also introduced some of her friends into the world of celebrity – chiefly Jordyn Woods and Stassie Karanikolaou. The socialite is no longer friends with the former, but she and the latter remain incredibly close.

As the bestie of a billionaire, fans are naturally curious about the 25-year-old's life. She shares much of it with followers on Instagram. Like many other stars, though, she prefers to keep her love life lowkey. In recent weeks, however, she and TikTok star Jaden Hossler have been fuelling romance rumours with their flirtatious posts.

On January 20th, the 21-year-old included Stassie in his "Sorry. Mommy?" viral video challenge. This is what first prompted fans to speculate something is unfolding between the pair. "Can we take this as confirmation of their relationship?" one user pondered in the comments.

Earlier this month, the internet personality posted Hossler on her TikTok page. The audio she used at the time said, "And then there were two," further turning the rumour mill. Over the weekend, things only got more serious when they confirmed their romance with a kiss on Instagram.

On Sunday (February 5), the Tennessee native shared two photos of him and Stassie standing in the mirror. The first sees them cooly posing, her rocking all black while he pairs a periwinkle blue shirt with his dark bottoms. With a swipe of their finger, followers then see the pair sharing a sweet kiss, Hossler's arm wrapped around his girl's shoulder.

Additionally, Stassie sneakily confirmed their relationship in a photo dump of her own. "My life be life," she wrote in the caption yesterday, kicking things off with an image of a friend pouring her a cocktail. Afterward, we see a fun mirror selfie with her BFF Jenner, an adorable grey kitty, and a subtle thirst trap.

Later on in the post, the model dropped off a picture of Hossler laying behind her. His tattooed wrist is obviously visible behind her head. Neither of them has officially spoken about their budding romance, but as they say, a picture (or two) is worth a thousand words.
