Pete Doherty and Courtney Love get cosy

He’s reportedly smitten with the rock chick

Pete Doherty has fallen for Courtney Love.

The pair have been pals for the past couple of years, but now Pete is said to want to take his friendship with the rock chick, 43, to another level.

Pete, 28, split from fiancée Irina Lazareanu last week, but he no longer wants to get back with old flame Kate Moss.

‘Pete and Courtney have been in touch on and off over the past couple of years and she contacted him recently to tell him how proud she was of his successful stint in rehab,’ a source tells the Daily Star.

‘He was bowled over – smitten in fact. Pete thinks she’s a sex symbol and icon after going through so much herself.

‘He hopes to spend a lot more time with her over the next few months and even says he wants new experiences with her.’

And the feeling seems mutual, as Courtney wants Pete to star in biopic Heavier Than Heaven, about her late hubby, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.

‘Pete’s been sent a pile of scripts but one he’d really love to have a part in is Heavier Than Heaven,’ the source adds. ‘It’s bound to do well.’
