Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson's romance is officially on! New couple caught holding hands as mom-of-four rebounds from Kanye West with SNL lothario known for his naughty reputation

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson have confirmed their relationship.

In a bold public display of affection, Kim, 41, and Pete, 28, were seen holding hands on Wednesday while celebrating his birthday in Palm Springs, California, DailyMail.com`s exclusive photos reveal.

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.

It is the first romantic partner for the reality star since she filed for divorce from estranged husband Kanye West in February this year, as she made a bold statement with Pete - who showed his support for the star by wearing pyjama bottoms from her SKIMS underwear line.

Kanye, 44, who has now legally changed his name to Ye, was briefly linked to model Irina Shayk in June before seemingly going public with Instagram model Vinetria, 22.

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.'

In DailyMail.com`s exclusive pictures, mom-of-four Kim can be seen showing off her famous curves in a white leotard and a pair of oversized grey sweats, as she holds hands with Pete who is wearing her SKIMS pajama trousers and a black T-shirt.
