The couple met last week.

Doherty told Xfm's Lauren Laverne on Britain's ITV's "Orange Playlist," that he met Moss during her 31st birthday party.

"It's been the best week in a long time because I've really found love with Kate," said Doherty. "I think it will last. She's good for me because she's got a beautiful soul and I think I can trust her.

"I think I can believe her when she says she loves me and I know I mean it when I say I love her."

The singer said he's had his arm tattooed with her initial. "I'd had a heart done a few years ago, but I added the 'K'."

The interview is scheduled to be broadcast on ITV Feb. 17.
