Kim Kardashian is stepping back into the dating scene with a new perspective. After previously expressing a desire to remain single, the SKIMS founder has now admitted that staying away from love just isn’t her style.
During the season six premiere of The Kardashians on Hulu, which aired on February 6, Kim teased that she may have a new romance on the horizon.
For a while, Kim had been vocal about wanting time to herself following her high-profile relationships. After her marriage to Kanye West ended and a brief romance with NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. fizzled out last April, she insisted on focusing on herself and her four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
"I used to say, 'OK, I wanna be single for two years and blah, blah, blah,'" Kim revealed during a confessional in the latest episode of The Kardashians. "And that sounded great."
But as time went on, she realized that shutting herself off from love didn’t feel natural.
"Me not dating and not wanting love and attention?" she asked. "I don’t think you know me."
Kim has yet to reveal the identity of her latest romantic interest, keeping details under wraps for now. However, her recent comments suggest that she may not be single for much longer.
In a preview for the new season, released on January 17, Kim playfully admitted that she hadn’t been completely honest about her dating plans.
"I had the intention of staying single," she confessed in the trailer. "I was fully lying to you guys."
This revelation has left fans buzzing with curiosity about her mystery suitor. Could it be someone from the sports world, entertainment industry, or an unexpected connection from outside the limelight?
While Kim is navigating her return to dating, her children have their own thoughts about who she should be with. In an August appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she shared how her kids have been actively trying to play matchmaker.
"They try to sneakily set me up," she said.
Their criteria? Surprisingly detailed.
"They’re so particular," Kim explained. "They make lists. Saint wants me to be with any basketball player or soccer player and I’m like, 'If you only knew.' Some of my kids want me to be with streamers."
With her children already invested in her romantic future, Kim’s next relationship will likely be met with plenty of family opinions.
Kim Kardashian’s love life has always been a topic of public fascination. Her previous relationships, including her seven-year marriage to Kanye West, were highly publicized. Together, they built an empire while navigating their ups and downs. Their divorce, finalized in 2022, marked the end of one of Hollywood’s most talked-about marriages.
Following her split from Kanye, Kim briefly dated comedian Pete Davidson, a romance that generated massive media attention due to their contrasting personalities and whirlwind public appearances. Though they eventually parted ways, their relationship showed a different, fun-loving side of Kim.
Her short-lived romance with Odell Beckham Jr. was much more low-key, making it clear that she was taking a different approach to dating.
Now, with her latest comments, it’s clear she’s open to love once again.
With The Kardashians airing new episodes every Thursday on Hulu, fans are eagerly waiting to see if Kim will reveal more about her mystery love interest.

One thing is for sure—Kim is in control of her narrative. Whether she’s embracing a new romance, focusing on her businesses, or raising her children, she’s doing it on her own terms.
As the season unfolds, viewers will be watching closely for any hints about her next relationship. Will she go public with a new partner, or will she keep things private this time around? Either way, Kim’s dating journey is far from over.
