Kim Kardashian has never shied away from discussing her experiences in the dating world, especially following her high-profile divorces. The reality star and entrepreneur has often opened up about her romantic endeavors and what she’s learned along the way.

A Complex Relationship History

Kardashian's relationship history is well-documented; starting with her first marriage to music producer Damon Thomas, which lasted from 2000 to 2003. After a significant break, she briefly married NBA player Kris Humphries in 2011, a union that famously lasted just 72 days. Following her whirlwind romance with Humphries, she began a significant relationship with rapper Kanye West, with whom she shares four children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. Their marriage, which began in 2014, ended in divorce in 2021.

Navigating Single Motherhood and Dating

In recent years, Kardashian has navigated the complexities of dating as a single mother. She was linked to comedian Pete Davidson in late 2021, albeit for less than a year. After their split, rumors circulated about her connection with NFL star Odell Beckham Jr., though sources confirmed a recent "pause" in that relationship. A new source revealed that Kardashian is currently dating someone new while being discreet about it.

A Hopeless Romantic Defined

Reflecting on her experiences, Kardashian shared in a January 2025 trailer for "The Kardashians," “I had the intention of staying single. I was fully lying to you guys. Me, not dating and not wanting love and attention? I don’t think you know me.”

During a May 2023 appearance on the “On Purpose With Jay Shetty” podcast, Kardashian expressed her unwavering belief in love. “I think I’ll always be a hopeless romantic,” she admitted. Despite her past experiences, she is open to love but has emphasized the need to proceed with caution, especially considering her responsibilities as a mother.

“I definitely will take my time,” she commented. “There are so many factors, especially when you have kids and people coming into your life.” Kardashian is keen on learning from her past mistakes as she seeks a more fulfilling relationship.

Desiring a Genuine Connection

In a candid moment with Scott Disick on “The Kardashians,” she spoke about her desire for privacy in her romantic life. “There’s nothing wrong with wanting to sneak,” she remarked, hinting at the excitement of discreet consultations with potential partners.

When describing her ideal partner, Kardashian set high standards during a June 2023 episode of the same show. She highlighted the importance of traits like patience, supportiveness, hygiene, and even the ability to be a positive role model for her children. “I’m looking for someone that can be a role model for my kids—especially someone my boys can look up to,” she stated.

The Importance of Accountability

As discussions about her future romantic life evolved, Kardashian revealed that she remains grounded in her expectations. In a February 2024 interview on SiriusXM’s “This Life of Mine with James Corden,” she acknowledged that while she wants a fulfilling partner, she’s realistic about the challenges. “I’m not so delusional to think that someone will check every single box,” she said. She emphasized accountability and genuine motivation in anyone she considers for a long-term relationship.

Kardashian noted that despite her busy life filled with family, work, and public appearances, she embraces the prospect of sharing her life with someone special. “It’s a lot,” she reflected, “I’m not lonely, so I’m good. I have my kids, I have work, I have my family, but it would be nice to share your life with someone. When you do, it’s such a big ... I don’t take that lightly.”

A Continuing Journey

Kim Kardashian’s journey through love continues to capture the attention of many. Her willingness to engage with her personal challenges and the lessons she draws from them make her narrative not only relatable but also inspiring to those navigating similar paths on their own. Will her next chapter in romance lead to a beautifully blended family, or is she focused more on the joys of single life? Only time will tell!
