Although TMZ sources reported that the new couple has yet to make their romance official, pictures of them cuddling up at Paris Fashion Week suggest things are definitely heating up. Considering the unlikeliness of the pairing, many believe it's nothing more than a PR boost, but we're keeping our fingers crossed that it's the real deal!

Bad Bunny & Kendall Jenner

After splitting with her long-term boyfriend, Devin Booker, Kendall Jenner set her sights high for her next love interest.
