It’s official! Khloé’s relationship is definitely HOTTING UP

Three weeks ago, SHEmazing! reported that Khloe Kardashian had hooked up with a new man while in Hawaii: namely professional basketball player James Harden.

And it seems that the duo have continued to see each other following their holiday romance. 

Partying in Las Vegas for the July 4 celebrations, they dined at Red 8, a popular Asian restaurant at the Wynn Hotel.

The eatery is well-known for its top-class Cantonese noodle dishes and Hong Kong-style barbecue and often attracts a celeb-heavy crowd.

Afterwards, they hit Drai's nightclub, where Chris Brown was playing. 

TMZ has pictures of Khloe, 31, and James, 25, together. It furthermore reports that sources in Vegas can confirm that they looked very much like a couple, even "snuggling side by side" during their meal. 

The Daily Beast also says that the reality TV star was seen this weekend at the city's Encore Beach Club cosying up to the 6ft 5in Houston Rockets player.

Still, their relationship might not be plain-sailing: Mr Harden and Amber Rose – a Kardashian nemesis – have serious history together. 

James was thought to be dating Amber – the former fiancee of Kanye West, now Khloe's brother-in-law – earlier this year after meeting her in Las Vegas. 

The model even admitted to having a "special friendship" with the athlete during a recent radio interview. 

Of course, Ms Kardashian is also still not divorced from husband Lamar Odom, despite splitting from him more than 18months ago.

Indeed, their divorce proceedings have seemingly stalled entirely, with neither side taking action to finally formalise their separation.
