Khloé Kardashian has had mixed luck with romance, so it’s no wonder she hesitates to return to the dating world. She previously told Logan Ury on her Khloé in Wonder Land podcast that the idea makes her afraid. “My track record hasn’t been great in a pretty volatile, traumatic way,” she said. Given that, her frankness on what it’ll take to get her to change her mind is no surprise.
She Gives Update on Her Love Life: ‘You Have to Be Really Special’
You might’ve gotten a different answer if you had asked The Kardashians star a few years ago about dating. But after several years of celibacy, Kardashian admits it doesn’t take up much of her thoughts.
“Well, I think once you go a certain time frame, it doesn’t matter anymore,” Kardashian told Us Weekly. “You’re like, ‘OK, now you have to be really worth it to break that.’ 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.”
The other factor is her kids. True will turn seven on April 12, and Tatum will be three on July 22. Kardashian loves being a mom and treasures spending time with her kids.
“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,” she acknowleged.
On Her Dating History: ‘I Keep Picking These People’
While she describes doting on her kids as a big reason to avoid dating, it’s obviously not the whole reason. Dating men who’ve carelessly broken her heart has created some trauma she’s had to deal with.
“It makes me nervous, just ’cause all the stuff I’ve been through,” she told Ury on her Podcast. “It’s probably, mainly — yes, about my kids is the number one. But then the next thing is, it’s just so scary. How do you know that’s not going to happen again?”
She expanded on the topic to Us Weekly. “Like, ‘Why do I keep picking these people?’” she exclaimed. “And now I feel like I’m really strong, and I pray I can identify certain red flags or certain things that I don’t want to receive anymore. And I think you’re going to have to be really special to either disrupt my current lifestyle, my schedule and how I prioritize my time, and just to even make me feel those butterflies. I think I’m pretty guarded right now, so it will have to be a special, persistent person.”
