Chris Brown is said to be secretly seeing Kendall Jenner for months now. With Karrueche Tran out of the picture, Chris is said to be more "smitten" with Kendall, while the budding model is reportedly excited about taking their relationship further.

According to Hollywood Life, Chris once said that he looks at Kendall Jenner as a younger sister, but everything changed after the younger step-sister of Kim Kardashian turned 19. The site is reporting that for months now, Chris has been hanging out with Kendall too often and are getting to know each other better. Now that Chris and Karrueche have broken-up, Chris is said to be more smitten, while Kendall is said to be eating up the attention. OK magazine reports that Kendall is even willing to take things to a more serious level.

However, the two are unlikely to become an official couple soon. "It's not even like that, Kendall and Chris are friends and nothing more," a source said to Hollywood Life. Their relationship seems to be at a stage where they are getting to know each other and are not in a rush to become an official couple.

Chris recently posted a picture on Instagram. In this photo, Kendall is sitting in his lap while her sisters Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian are beside him. The photo surfaced shortly after the "Loyal " singer broke up with Karrueche on Dec. 5. According to Hollywood Life, the face of Estee Lauder has become a "permanent fixture" at Chris Brown's studio whenever he is recording with Tyga. Over the weekend, Kendall and Chris were also together at a Washington nightclub. Interestingly, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin joined them. Justin was once romatically linked to Kendall, with the model being blamed for the split between him and Selena Gomez. Kendall had clarified that Justin is just close to her whole family and they are not romantically involved with each other.
