There have been rumours of a split between Khloe Kardashian and NBA player Tristan Thompson.

Say it in stripes with Khloe's Balmain dress

Khloe Kardashian is looking like the cat that got the cream at the moment and that might have something to do with her the new man she's smitten with.

The reality star hasn't been seen out without her new beau over the last few weeks or so, and she's pulling out all the stops in the fashion stakes too, and looking better than ever!

Hitting a club while in Miami, Khloe turned to one of her favourite designers, Balmain, for this glamorous ensemble. She wore this sexy black and gold lurex stripe mini dress for the occasion, teaming it with a glittery clutch to up the ante even more.

The good news is that this dress is available to buy, and you can snap it up for yourself at Farfetch (click right).

According to an insider for the gossip site, the couple have even said those three special words: 'I love you.'

As the NBA champion lives in Ohio, which is much different from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, it has been said that Khloe really likes it out there and has made multiple trips to Cleveland.

She also enjoys his five-bedroom home in a suburban area as the insider said: 'Khloe is very comfortable and happy there.' 

The source adds that feelings are very strong on both sites as they said: 'She's so into him and he's really into her.'

The report comes just days after speculation had been sparked that she had split from Tristan as she shared a cryptic message on Instagram.

Khloe raised eyebrows with an empowering post about relationships, leading some to believe that the clock has run out on her latest romance with Tristan.

In an impassioned post, accompanied by a block-quote of the phrase: 'Fate loves the fearless,' Khloe shared deep and revealing thoughts with more than 58 million followers.

When she posted the passionate message reports suggested that the hoopster broke things off after he got tired of being a laughing stock from his Cleveland teammates, who had reportedly nicknamed him 'Tristan Kardashian.'

Khloe's post makes numerous allusions to standing up for yourself and being your own person regardless of what others say, which might lend credence to the reports Thompson couldn't take the heat from his peers.

'Let me remind you that we don't need anybody's approval to be happy in life. EVER! Let you validate and accept your own version of happiness. You choose your life!' she wrote. 

Last month, an insider confirmed the romance to People magazine.

'Khloe has been spending a lot of time in Cleveland with Tristan,' the source said.

'She’s very supportive of him, and they are getting serious. They really dig each other a lot, and she’s planning to spend more and more time out there with him.'

The couple even went as Marvel characters Storm and Black Panther for Halloween, posting snapshots of themselves in costume on social media.

Meanwhile Tristan's former flame, Jordan Craig, is due to give birth to her baby soon, and has recently shared a picture of her burgeoning bump at her baby shower last month.

Alongside the post, she wrote: 'Although watching and feeling you grow everyday has made my pregnancy such an unforgettable, magical experience ... words cannot express how anxious and excited I am to finally meet you! (sic).'
