Kat Von D and Jesse James are still going strong.
She recently fueled split rumors when she stepped out with ex Nikki Sixx at an Oct. 5 concert.
"I'm not dating Nikki," she told USA Today Tuesday afternoon while signing copies of her new book, The Tattoo Chronicles. "We didn't get back together. Jesse and I didn't break up."

The L.A. Ink star, 28, is proud of her relationship with the West Coast Choppers CEO, 41, who famously cheated on Sandra Bullock.
"I've known Jesse for a long time, since I was 22-years old," she says. "I think he's probably one of the most kind-hearted, intelligent human beings."

At the book signing, Von D was sporting a sparkly diamond rock.
She wouldn't say if it's an engagement ring.

"I don't know if I really feel comfortable talking about it," she said, adding that it was "from the 1900s ... It's been an addition to all the rest of my jewelry and my Victorian collection. They don't make things like this anymore. There's no more craftsmanship in a lot of things."
Tell Us What You Think
16For some reason I find Kat's constant gloating about being with Jesse a little on the low class side. I realize that he and Sandra Bullock have divorced and I have taken Sandra's side on that if I have any right to for that matter. But I don't hate Jesse or completely think of him as a total waste of manhood. He did make a mistake which yes he should pay his penance but Kat is kind of making it sound like he just moved on with no regrets or heartache or anything. I find that very hard to believe. I truly feel like he had true remorse and felt very guilty and heartbreak over hurting Sandra. (Doesn't excuse but better than nothing) I have watched Kat's show quite a bit and I really liked her for her honesty and individuality but her recent bragging and gloating has certainly turned me off of her. Also, have you noticed that Jesse has not made any public statements? That is a little curious in itself!! Oh Well As they say Hollywood!!!
I love when people call multi billionares white trailer trash. Sandra Bullock wanted her a bad boy and should have known better. Kat Von D is one of the hottest chicks on the globe.
My questions is...what did Sandra see in Jesse??!! In my humble opinion, Jesse is not much to look at--he looks like tattooed white trailer trash. I mean he knew he was trading up (wasn't one of his wives a porn star?) when he got Sandra but was she high or what? Maybe Jesse's really charming and FANTASTIC in bed!!!
they match, bottom line!! Sandra was just too Classy for him!
he cheated on Sandra bullock what make you think he will not cheat on you
Girls are you all adding to your collection of antique jewelry? Looks like she's added an antique man...who thinks with his little head..such a prize!!
skunks attract skunks....worthless, trashy skunks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
skunks attract skunks....they belong to each other worthless, trashy skunks!!!!!!!!!!!
they deserve each other...both desperate
i think its crazy to think that what 4 mths ago he wanted his wife back after he humiliated her and now he is in this serious relationship with kat. what a slap in the face again to the wife u claimed to love just a short while ago. i had sympathy for jessie at first cause we all make mistakes but your supposed to grow from them and get better not down grade and get worse.!!!
Having a relationship with him puts her in the limelight! And if she truly believes he will be faithful, then she's a bigger idiot than most people think! Besides, who cares what he dates or who she dates. It's just not news worthy!
You know a relationship with a admited sex addict, will go the distance! LOL! I can't believe Kat would think this would work out, besides he's been married 3 TIMES and one of those was to a PORN STAR! So why would she even want to make a relationship with him!?
Is there anyone out there who truly cares??? Why is this in US anyway??
Not trying to sound hateful here....just curious...if he's so intelligent and kind-hearted and puts the needs of his children first, why did all that mess happen with Sandra Bullock? Just sayin.
I doubt the man has any intelligence. He had it all and lost it over some trashy looking tattoed tranny. In the long run he ended up where he belongs, with a woman of his caliber.
Does she really think it will last with him?!
