Kim Kardashian and Cristiano Ronaldo's hot hookup has just been upgraded to a real romance.

While this pairing's almost too pretty to be believed, sources say it's true. Not only did the reality star and the Portuguese soccer stud connect in Madrid recently, but one insider tells E! News that the two are "in daily contact" and "dating."

Last Monday, the budding couple was seen sneaking kisses while having a romantic dinner at La Dorado in the Spanish city. A different source says the couple left in separate cars but then went back to Ronaldo's mansion, where Kim spent several hours.

Turns out the two knew each other before they hung out in Spain...

This source further tells us that the couple first met last year at an event at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and when she became single last month, they reconnected.

Kim is currently in Australia on a promotional tour, and our first insider says Ronaldo has been in touch with her daily.

"Kim has a lot of experience with long-distance relationships," says the second source.

Ironically, Ronaldo is the same soccer stud former BFF Paris Hilton was linked to after her first split from Doug Reinhardt last year.
