This past April, reality star Kim Kardashian stepped out in a pair of gold “KW” earrings announcing to the world her new relationship with longtime friend Kanye West. After Kardashian’s notoriously short (and probably fake) marriage to basketball player Chris Humphries, it looked like a publicity stunt, a way for Kardashian to distract the media from her embarrassingly short 72 days of marriage. And I admit at first I was critical—attention-starved Kardashian was now garnering even more attention as half of the most obnoxious couple on earth: KimYe.

However, after following their relationship closely (sometimes weirdly so) for the past six months—already longer than Kardashian’s previous marriage—I have come to the surprising conclusion that not only do they have a lot in common but they also might even be cute together.

Kim Kardashian has always been the most boring of the Kardashian sisters and West is known for being, well, outspoken (who can forget the Taylor Swift incident in 2009?). But honestly, they are both pretty talented people. West first gained success from his music but has since expanded into many other business ventures, including short films and fashion. And even though Kardashian has no visible talent other than her insane body, she has created an empire of fragrances and clothing lines to go along with her reality show. That takes business savvy.

For perhaps the first time, they are acting like normal human beings. West is really sweet to Kardashian, showering her with presents and, to put it bluntly, not being a jerk all the time (witness his Twitter reflection on the use of a certain sexist slur). And Kim, for the first time since she became a household name, is being discreet about her new relationship.

Most importantly, they hang out with Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who are the most amazing duo of all time. If Beyoncé and Jay-Z approve of KimYe, so do I. Individually Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may be obnoxious, but together they make sense and are a sweet couple. And honestly, there are so many worse couples we should be worrying about, like Chavril—the engagement between Avril Lavigne and Nickelback vocalist Chad Kroeger.
