Kim and Khloe Kardashian fighting for the attention of one 'hottie' Hollywood star, claims source
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The Kardashian sisters have been the subject of numerous, acrimonious disputes, and it appears that Khloe and Kim are set to engage in a bitter quarrel over the same man: Hollywood star Michael B Jordan.
The latest sisters' update came after Kim, 43, was reportedly upset with their mother Kris Jenner for constantly defending Kylie Jenner and letting her maintain the privacy of her relationship with Timothee Chalamet.
Kim and Khloe Kardashian bicker over Michael B Jordan, claims source
According to sources, Kim Kardashian is at odds with her sister Khloe Kardashian over the same man after entangling herself in a battle with Kourtney Kardashian for the past few seasons.
"Kim and Khloe have always thought that Michael’s a total hottie and both have admitted they’ve had eyes on him since he split from his girlfriend, Lori [Harvey] two years ago," a source revealed to Closer.
They added, "Kim hung out with him at a Lakers game a few months after his break-up and they swapped numbers then, but it wasn’t until earlier this year that their conversations got flirtier."
The insider spilled, "At first she kept it quiet from the rest of the family. But then Khloe - who befriended Michael when she hired his trainer, Corey Calliet, for Revenge Body in 2021 - mentioned how he’d sent her a beautiful bouquet of flowers on her 40th birthday, sparking some flirtatious banter between them."
The source added: "When Kim found out about that she was fuming and told Khloe to back-off. Michael has been guiding her with her upcoming Netflix movie and she knows how much kudos it would give her as an up-and-coming actress to date an established Hollywood actor."
Khloe was earlier married to Lamar Odom but filed for divorce in 2013 after the basketball player's infidelity and addiction issues grew too much for her to handle.
During the June 6 episode of 'The Kardashians', Khloe cited her busy schedule taking care of her children and stated that she had no interest in the dating scene.
However, according to the latest Closer sources, Khloe recently had a change of heart and is eager to make her move, particularly if it involves Michael, 37, who was crowned PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive in 2020.
"Khloe was gutted when Kim revealed she’d been speaking to him too, and was really hurt that Kim just expected her to bow-out - especially when she’s been through so much hurt over the last few years and Kim has been the one pushing her to get back on the dating scene," they revealed.
The source said, "As always with their sibling squabbles Kris stepped in and eventually sided with Khloe, reminding Kim how long it’s taken her sister to even get to this place and how it should be Khloe’s turn to pursue this chance of happiness."
Kardashian sisters Kim and Khloe previously fought over the same man
This is not the first time 40-year-old Khloe and 43-year-old Kim Kardashian have shown interest in the same man.
After she split up with comedian Pete Davidson in August 2022, Kim had a brief romantic relationship with NFL player Odell Beckham Jr, whom Khloe had allegedly dated in 2016.
After her brief relationship with Odell ended, Khloe started dating basketball player Tristan Thompson, with whom she later welcomed her daughter True, 6, and son Tatum, 2.
The couple permanently ended their five-year tumultuous romance in December 2021 when Tristan, 33, welcomed a son with a different woman while still dating Khloe.
Lamar Odom and Khloe were married in 2009, marking her first (and thus far only) marriage but she eventually filed for divorce in 2013 due to his infidelity and addiction issues.
Meanwhile, Kim has been married three times: music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2003 and then NBA player Kris Humphries for a mere 72 days in 2011.
The SKIMS founder went on to marry controversial rapper Kanye West whom she last divorced in 2022.
Kim and Khloe discussed extensively about their own dating experiences in the most recent season of 'The Kardashians', with Kim revealing that she was looking for a new partner.
