Khloe Kardashian and NBA star James Harden fuel romance rumours

Khloe Kardashian and Houston Rockets star James Harden met up in Las Vegas over the Fourth of July weekend and  when you're a Kardashian, what happens in Vegas leaks out.

Khloe, 31, and the NBA player, 25, were seen having dinner together Saturday night at Red 8, an Asian restaurant at the Wynn resort and TMZ have the pictures to prove it.  

An onlooker who spotted the couple told the website the air were 'snuggling side by side' during their meal. 

Earlier in the day, the two had also dropped by a pool party at the Encore Beach Club at the Wynn although they weren't photographed together there.

Khloe, though, did pose for a picture with Rumer Willis, who still has a cast on her right foot after the DWTS champ suffered stress fractures.

And Harden was also seen poolside chatting with friends at the well-attended July 4 pool party

 

 

TMZ suggested that the younger Kardashian sister and the Rockets' number 13 may have hooked up after he was one of the coaches for Kanye West's basketball birthday bash at Staples Center on June 8.

Khloe,of course, is still legally married to ex-NBA star Lamar Odom.

It's not known if Khloe, who was seen filming scenes for Keeping Up With The Kardashians in LA a few days ago, made the trip to Vegas specifically to meet up with Harden or whether they found themselves partying at the same events together by coincidence.

But however it transpired, the two were clearly inseparable as they partied up a storm on Independence Day. 

According to several sources including Star magazine, the duo were also spotted looking very cozy on a recent trip to Hawaii.

Khloe filed for divorce from Lamar in December 2013 following four years of marriage, after he admitted to cheating on her amid claims of drug abuse.
