When the duo first ended their relationship, she was heartbroken and fully invested in him. But now, she views him as more of a casual fling. "She’s not looking to make him her forever guy anymore; she’s totally abandoned the idea of him being 'The One,'" the source said. 

They added, "[Kim] She can’t just hook up with any random guy without fearing her trust might get shattered. That’s why a no-strings-attached situation with Pete seems like the perfect match for her right now!"
