According to the Washington Post on Friday, there's only one problem: Lewis, who was once engaged to Nicole Scherzinger, thinks he doesn't have what it takes to be Kendall's man.

A source close to the Jenner family said, "I think Lewis is worried he isn't 'cool' enough for Kendall and she's concerned his career may overshadow her modeling. But Kris is over the moon. She thinks Lewis is the kind of man Kendall needs. She's practically jumping up and down."

What's more, Kendall was allegedly "mortified" over the fact that her mother tried to set her up with Lewis during Paris Fashion Week last March.

The insider explained, "Lewis clearly fancied Kendall but she seemed more interested in hanging out with her friends. But Kris was also at the party and was all over Lewis. She practically pushed Kendall into his arms."

The source added, "She gave Lewis Kendall's number and told him to call her and ask her on a date. Kendall was mortified. Everyone saw her mouthing, 'Mom stop' at Kris. But it didn't put Lewis off - he was in contact with Kendall all the time after that."
