Khloe Kardashian, Matt Kemp Spending Christmas Together; Are They Just Friends?
Khloe Kardashian and Matt Kemp are reportedly hoping to spend Christmas together, and fans continue to speculate whether or not they are actually dating.
The reality TV star and the Los Angeles Dodgers player, both 29, fueled dating rumors on Friday, the same day Kardashian filed for divorce from Lamar Odom, after they were photographed driving alongside one another in Los Angeles.

Kemp, who is the former boyfriend of pop star Rihanna, is said to be supporting Kardashian during her divorce. While the pair is reportedly not in an exclusive relationship, he is considering spending the holidays with her family.
"Kris [Jenner] really likes Matt and thinks he's so adorable and likes the way Khloe lights up when he's around," a source said according to HollywoodLife.com.
"He's been to their house a little often these past few weeks and an invitation has been extended for he to spend the holidays with Khloe and the family," the source explained.
On Thursday the MLB star posted a photograph of the Kardashian-Jenner family's Christmas tree via his personal Instagram account which spared romance rumors. Kardashian's mother Kris Jenner had posted the family tree photo first on Dec. 10.
Sources close to the pair insist that they are just close friends and that Kardashian, who was married to Odom for four-years is not ready to move on yet.
"The main thing now is that they're friends and they're both not trying to begin anything romantic so soon. Khloe's still sad over her marriage to Lamar and is in a lot of pain," a source revealed.
"Matt's helping her out a lot by being there, being her workout partner and being a friend," the source added. "He's been a good friend to her and she's cried on his shoulders, literally, because she's still hurting after having to divorce Lamar."
Kardashian and Odom, 33, wed in 2009, just one month after they first met. The estranged couple was rocked with cheating allegations in July when two women came forward accusing the NBA veteran of having extramarital affairs.
The E! star is yet to publicly address her divorce filing, but in September she alluded to marital strain when she abruptly dropped her marital name from social networking sites.
