Kat Von D Says She's In Love With Jesse James'LA Ink' star Kat Von D and Jesse James are dating -- we already know that. What we didn't know until today is that they're in love, according to PEOPLE.

"Jesse is only my ninth boyfriend. I don't hang out with anybody unless I am in love," Von D, 28, tells PEOPLE.

Asked if she feels James, 41, who split from wife Sandra Bullock earlier this year after being caught with a myriad of mistresses, might be "The One," Von D said, "I believe he is, so yeah."

Their relationship blossomed playing Scrabble. "We both realized how nerdy we were," Kat says.

James was softer-spoken with PEOPLE, giving the mag a simple "yes" when asked if he's happy. And his favorite thing about Kat Von D? "Everything."
