A Kylie Jenner Instagram photo shared by Tyga leads fans to believe he may be in love with–or at the very least have strong feelings for–the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star.

Even though he has denied dating rumors, it’s plain to see that the 24-year-old rapper has feelings for Kylie Jenner.

Tyga captioned his Instagram post, “Surround yourself with good people. Good hearts, Good souls #LastKings”

Kylie Jenner is very clearly in the background of the posted photo.

Hollywood Life reports that a source told them he loves Kylie.

“He’s a friend to her. He loves her and respects her and the family,” the source explained. “All the Kardashians know [Kylie and Tyga are] friends and they’re all in the loop of what’s going on. They all like Tyga and think he’s a great dude. Everything is PG.”

So if everything is PG, why has there been so much commotion over this Kylie Jenner Instagram post? Is it because it’s Tyga’s first public declaration of affection for the youngest of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians clan? It seems the PG may be due to Kylie’s age.

Kylie Jenner doesn’t turn 18 until next August. But do you think Bruce and Kris Jenner would really care if she dated a 24-year-old? They let Kendall Jenner do whatever she wants–and they did so before she turned 18. It seems likely they’d loosen the reigns on Kylie if she wanted them to.

According to TMZ, it sounds like this Kylie Jenner Instagram photo indicates way more. In fact, they report that the two are dating–however their romance hasn’t yet become a physical one.

“They are going to continue to date, but not in public–until she turns 18. Kylie is very picky when it comes to guys, but she’s really into Tyga,” the source said.

Not everyone is happy about the notion either. But does Kim Kardashian’s husband get a say in whether or not Kylie dates Tyga?

Do you think this Kylie Jenner Instagram post may be indicative of something more? Could it be that this first public acknowledgement of a connection to Kylie Jenner could mean their relationship is about to evolve to the next level?
