The pair have been spotted on a slew of dates since being first romantically linked last month, with a source confirming to MailOnline that the pair are in fact dating one another.

Their first public date was captured on March 24, and just two days later, Sofia shared a snap with the music mogul on Instagram. 

Sofia has been enjoying dating again after getting out of a heavily publicized relationship with Keeping Up With The Kardashians vet Scott Disick, 37, last summer.

Since then, she has stepped out with a string men on her arm including Cha Cha Matcha founder Matthew Morton and Israeli shipping heir Gil Ofer.

After months of break ups and reconciliations, Sofia and Scott officially called it quits in August 2020 after three years together.

Scott later claimed that the split happened after his much younger girlfriend had given him an ultimatum about their future.

The father-of-three alleged that Sofia had asked him to choose between her and his relationship with ex Kourtney Kardashian and the kids.

He has now moved on to date Amelia Hamlin, the 19-year-old daughter of actor Harry Hamlin and reality star Lisa Rinna.
