Kim Kardashian fabricated romance rumors with real estate investor to appear 'more desirable': Source

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It seems there is currently no prince charming in Kim Kardashian's life, despite multiple reports claiming she has been dating a real estate investor.

A source claims that the rumors regarding her dating an unnamed investor were fabricated to make her look "more desirable," as per The US Sun. They say that the 44-year-old media personality and her mother, Kris Jenner, intentionally spread the rumors.

Kris Jenner doesn't want it to look like men don't want to date Kim Kardashian

The tipster explained, "There are reports Kim is 'privately dating a real estate investor.' Just like Khloe was also 'privately dating a businessman' a year back or so. They have never been seen in restaurants or out and about."

"Kim and Kris just spread the word to make it seem like it's not 'poor Kim, why won't anyone date her.’ Kim does not have a boyfriend - but Kris doesn't want it to look like men don't want to date her," they added. 

This comes after US Weekly reported on December 11 that the SKIMS founder "has started dating someone new" and is "keeping it very under wraps."

Kim Kardashian's dating history

Just eight months ago, in April, Kim Kardashian broke up with New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr as their romance "fizzled out." They first sparked romance rumors in September 2023 following Beckham Jr's split from his longtime girlfriend, Lauren Wood.

Before Beckham Jr, the reality TV star was with Pete Davidson for nine months, parting ways in August 2023. They apparently sparked romance after meeting on the set of NBC's 'Saturday Night Live'. 

She got involved with Davidson less than a year after filing for divorce from Kanye West in February 2021. Kardashian and West share four children, North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5.

In October this year, a source close to her told People that she is "very much focused on being a mom" currently.

"She's not even dating anyone now. It's all about work and the kids. Although she has help, it's still a lot of work for her to balance and coordinate everything," they added. 

Kim Kardashian said being a single parent is 'the most challenging thing'

Besides, in 2023, months after her divorce from Kanye West was finalized, Kim Kardashian opened up about the struggles of being a single mother.

During her appearance on the ‘On Purpose with Jay Shetty’ podcast, she said, "It has been the most challenging thing. There are nights I cry myself to sleep. Like, what just happened? You know, with all the moods and the personalities and sometimes they’re fighting, and you know, there’s no one there," as per TODAY. 

"If a tantrum comes in, oh my God, your life is completely upside down. But it teaches you so much more about yourself than I think anyone, any parent, could have ever anticipated," Kardashian added.
