Kat Von D and Jesse James are in Love

Kat Von D and Jesse James have officially come out with their relationship, and it’s even more serious than one would have thought for such a new connection.

Extra TV reports that James accompanied Von D to her opening of her Wonderland Gallery Thursday night and Von D didn’t hesitate to gush about her new boyfriend.

When asked if the couple have made it official, Von D replied “Jesse is only my ninth boyfriend. I don’t hang out with anybody unless I am in love.”

The tattoo artist even believes he is “the one.” When she was asked whether or not she thought he could be it, she said, “I believe he is.”

Although the two have been friends for six years and met because they both had TLC reality shows, Von D said she kept herself out of the drama surrounding her new boyfriend’s divorce with a-lister Sandra Bullock.

"I stayed away from that as much as possible, and when we connected recently, it was such a positive thing. It was just like, 'Wow, I can't believe I haven't spent this much time with you the entire time I've known you.' Now I'm just embracing it and enjoying it."
