Rumors of 2PM’s Nichkhun, 25, and Girls’ Generations Tiffany, 24, dating have been circulating for months.
And now, South Korean media outlet Sports Seoul has confirmed that the two K-Pop idols are now a couple in a report earlier today, April 4.
According to their source, both idol members have been going out in secret for four months.
The report said, "As Tiffany and Nichkhun are both representative Hallyu stars, they have been meeting cautiously.
“It's true they've been close for a long time to the point that they were rumored to be dating since a while ago.
“Since they have both lived in the U.S., they had a lot of similarities and grew closer.
“However, they've only became a couple in the past 4 months."

The news agency has been following the couple around for a few months and spotted them going on a date at an Asian fusion restaurant in Gangnam, Seoul, on March 11.
JYP Entertainmet and SM Entertainment—Nichkhun and Tiffany’s talent agencies, respectively—confirmed the rumor and asked their loyal fans’ support for their budding relationship.
A JYP Entertainment representative told Sports Seoul, “As it has been reported, Tiffany and Nichkhun have been dating for four months.
“They started off as friends and became a couple. Please watch over them fondly.”
Another representative added, "They've been close since they were young...
“After being friends for a while, from what I know, they started to date officially recently."
SM Entertainment supported this claim and confirmed that the two are now a couple.
"It's true that Tiffany and Nickhun are a couple...
“They were friends but recently become closer. Please cheer them on."
Tiffany is the third member of Girls’ Generation who admitted to be in a relationship this year.
