Kim Kardashian ‘Secretly Dating’ Tattooed Rap Badboy Post Malone

The shoot, in which the Circles singer who chops wood, rides horses and poses in nothing but boxers and tattoos, sparked intense speculation among fans.

Kardashian and Malone are said to have “immediately hit it off” during the campaign, bonding over their shared love of music, parenting and a life away from the Hollywood spotlight.

A source close to the production said: “Kim was really surprised at how real Austin is. She tells people he’s funny, kind and completely unfazed by the celebrity world – and that’s a big part of what attracts her. He has a raw, rugged appeal that’s nothing like the men she’s dated before.”

Another insider added, “What started as an easy friendship has definitely become more playful lately. Kim can’t stop mentioning him. She really admires how honest he is about everything he faces, and she relates to that. They just understand each other on a deeper level.”

The pair’s bond blossomed in the weeks following Malone’s split from stylist Christy Lee, whom he dated for several months.

Kardashian, meanwhile, has been single since her brief relationship with NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. ended in April last year.
