Khloe Kardashian worries a new boyfriend will be a “distraction”. The 40-year-old reality star has maintained this stance amid growing speculation about her romantic future in Hollywood’s dating scene.
“Well, I think once you go a certain time frame, it doesn’t matter anymore. You’re like, ‘OK, now you have to be really worth it to break that,'” ‘The Kardashians’ star is single at 40 after divorcing her husband Lamar Odom in 2016 and splitting from her longtime partner Tristan Thompson – the father of her two children True, six, and Tatum, two – and she admits she isn’t keen to strike up a new romance because she wants to spend as much time with her children as possible. Her marriage to former NBA player Lamar lasted seven years before their highly publicized separation.
She told Us Weekly: “But also, I’m so focused on my kids and I know this sounds crazy, but I don’t want anyone to take me away from them. Not that I would let that happen, but I just don’t know if I want the distraction right now.” This sentiment reflects a growing trend among single parents who prioritize their children’s stability over new romantic relationships.
Khloe went on to add that her children will always be a factor in when she decides to get back on the dating scene. This perspective aligns with many child development experts who emphasize the importance of stability during formative years.
She added: “I still have young kids – not that I’m saying I’m gonna wait till they’re 20, but I think you’re gonna have to be really, really special for me to want to add another person in the mix that I would have to share my time with another person and my children.” Her focus on motherhood has become a central theme in her public persona in recent years.
It comes after Khloe admitted she hasn’t been intimate with a man in “many years”. This revelation surprised many fans, given her high-profile status in the entertainment industry where dating rumors frequently circulate.
“You’re obsessed with knowing that I haven’t had sex. He loves that I haven’t had sex in so many years,” Khloe replied during a chat with Khloe’s elder sister Kim Kardashian and hairdresser Chris Appleton on the latest episode of ‘The Kardashians’, when Chris said: “Let’s get Khloé laid!” The candid conversation sparked widespread discussion on social media platforms after the episode aired.
The Good American founder then explained in a confessional that she “hadn’t been intimate” for some time so felt as if she was starting all over again when it comes to dating as she joked that she would be just as happy to “marry [her] bed” rather than find a partner. Her clothing brand has become known for its inclusive sizing and body-positive messaging.
She said: “I mean, I just haven’t been intimate in quite a long time. So we’re going back to square one.” Her honest approach to discussing her personal life has resonated with many fans who appreciate her candidness.
“I’ll marry my bed. I know who I’m coming home to every night, I know you’re just gonna be there for me and snuggle me whenever I want. And you won’t talk back.” This humorous take on singlehood showcases the personality that has made her a fan favorite on the family’s reality shows.
Khloe is thought to have dated a couple of men since the breakdown of her relationship with Tristan but she confirmed to Chris and Kim that things were “non-existent” for her at the moment when it comes to her love life. Her relationship with Thompson received significant media attention throughout its duration.
She said: “I’m like, I can get someone to have sex with me, I just don’t wanna have sex. Her priorities appear to have shifted dramatically since becoming a mother to her two young children.
“Guys, my love life is non-existent.” This straightforward statement contrasts with the often-complicated romantic relationships that have been documented throughout her time in the public eye.
As Khloe continues to focus on motherhood and her business ventures, including her denim line and television projects, she seems content with her current situation. Her journey as a single mother has become an important part of her story on the family’s long-running reality television series.
