Kim Kardashian has reportedly dating Kanye West. The 31-year-old reality TV star has decided to embark on a romance with the 34-year-old rapper after growing close to him over a number of years.

News of the pair's fledgling relationship comes just hours after Kanye's new track "Theraflu" was revealed to contain lyrics in which he admits he "fell in love" with Kim while he was still dating Amber Rose.

"They've been friends for years. Kim is ready to give it a try now ... She's been hanging out with Kanye a lot," a source said.

The pair were spotted in New York on a date to the cinema to watch The Hunger Games on Wednesday night.

Earlier this year, model Amber accused the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star of having an affair with Kanye before they split in 2010 while Kim was seeing NFL player Reggie Bush. "She was sending pictures, and I was like, 'Kim, just stop. Don't be that person.' I thought at least she'd be woman enough to respond to me. She never responded. It's very important that us women stick together and we don't f**k each other over like that. But I want to thank her. Because if she was never a homewrecker, then I never would have met Wiz, and I wouldn't be as happy as I am now," she said.
