The teenage reality star beamed with happiness as she used her smartphone to capture images of Tyga at the wheel of a luxury vehicle, wearing a baseball cap and diamond stud earrings.

While their romance has been dogged by breakup rumors the past couple of months or so, there was no sign Tuesday that their passion for each other was waning.

Kylie posted a Snapchat video taken in the car in which she planted a big kiss on his lips.
