Kim Kardashian is making headlines once again, but this time, it’s about her love life. After focusing on herself and her entrepreneurial ventures, the reality star and business mogul, 44, is reportedly easing her way back into the dating scene. According to an exclusive source in Us Weekly, the reality star and business mogul “has started dating someone new” and is “keeping it very under wraps.”
This new chapter in Kardashian’s romantic life comes months after her public breakup with NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. in April 2024. While Kardashian is no stranger to high-profile relationships—her past romances with Kanye West, Pete Davidson, and others often dominated headlines—she appears to be taking a more low-key approach this time around.

“She’s said the next person she dates will be someone who isn’t famous,” the insider revealed. This marks a notable shift for Kardashian, whose personal life has often been intertwined with the limelight.
Balancing Love and Ambition
Since her split from Beckham Jr., Kardashian has prioritized personal growth and professional success. As the founder and driving force behind Skims, she has doubled down on expanding her brand. “Kim became way more involved in her company and put a ton of effort into her recent launches,” the source shared.
In addition to running a billion-dollar brand, Kardashian has been raising her four children—North, 11, Saint, 10, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5—whom she co-parents with ex-husband Kanye West. The insider noted that her time as a single woman has been empowering: “She [became] empowered by staying single for so long.”

Kim Kardashian is raising her four children ‘alone’
Kim opened up about the exhausting experience of being a mother to four young children. In a candid conversation with Zoe Winkler on the “What in the Winkler?” podcast, Kim delved into the challenges of raising her four children. Kim noted that her friendship with Zoe enters around their shared experiences in parenting. “And feeling like sometimes you’re in this alone,” she said, pointing out that while she has a strong support network, there are moments of deep isolation, especially late at night. “In the middle of the night…when they’re all sleeping in your bed kicking you and crying and waking up—it’s not something that I talk about a lot,” she admitted.
Kim also addressed the common misconception she often hears from critics. Many assume that her wealth affords her a much easier parenting experience. “I feel like there is always a lot of judgment or people always will jump to the, ‘Oh, but you have the resources to have nannies and to have help,'” she explained.

While Kim doesn’t deny that these resources are helpful, she points out that, ultimately, she is still essentially a single mom managing the needs, personalities, and schedules of four growing children.
