After heartbreak and a broken engagement, Paris Hilton seems to have her eye on Machine Gun Kelly!

The 38-year-old socialite and reality star posted on her Instagram page on Friday a photo of herself standing with the 28-year-old rapper and actor at a dinner party celebrating TINGS magazine's No. 2 issue in Los Angeles, by Greene St. Kitchen of Las Vegas and hosted by editor-in-chief Vas J. Morgan, earlier this week. MGK has his arm around her butt as she poses with a foot pop. Hilton, who wore a black cut-out knee-length dress, also posted two other photos of herself with the rapper on her Instagram Story.

A source told E! News that the two connected at the event and "really hit it off." After the dinner, they met for drinks at Delilah and had a great time, the source added.

"They definitely have a lot of chemistry and have been talking all week about seeing each other again," the insider said, adding that Paris is "open to dating" the rapper.

Neither Hilton nor MGK, who posted no photos from the event, has commented on the status of their relationship.

Other celebrity guests at the dinner included Rita Ora, Jaime King and Paris Jackson.

The event took place three months after E! News confirmed that Hilton and actor Chris Zylka broke up 10 months after getting engaged.

"I wish him the best and one day I would love to get married and have children, but for right now I'm just focused on myself and my work," Hilton said on The Talk after the split.

She also told E! News at the time that she was doing "amazing" after the split and was "busy being a boss-babe" and "running an empire." Hilton said she is "not even thinking" about dating.

"I am literally so busy," she said. "I hardly have time to see my own family, let alone do that."
