Kim Kardashian is carefully recalibrating her approach to romance following high-profile relationships with Pete Davidson and, most recently, Odell Beckham Jr., which concluded in April 2024. The reality television star and businesswoman acknowledges building emotional defenses while prioritizing her four children – North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5 – and remains hopeful for a future relationship.
A Period of Reflection and Prioritization
Kardashian’s journey since her split from her former spouse has been closely watched, marked by both public romances and a visible shift in her personal focus. Her relationship with Pete Davidson, the Saturday Night Live comedian, captured significant media attention, followed by a brief connection with NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. that ended earlier this year. However, a close confidante has observed a growing need for self-preservation.
“Even think about the amount of times you’re trying to keep everything little and tight around your kids,” a co-star on Kardashian’s reality show, All’s Fair, noted. The co-star expressed a desire to see Kardashian embrace a fulfilling romantic connection, stating, “I’m actually wanting more for you of whatever the great romance of your life is, for that to be able to bloom.”
Building Boundaries and Focusing on Family
Kardashian herself has recognized the protective barriers she has erected since her divorce. In a candid moment, she admitted to constructing a “wall” to shield herself from potential heartbreak. “I know [my co-star] feels like I have put up this wall to overprotect myself so that I just may be don’t open up to love,” Kardashian confessed.
However, she firmly believes this approach is necessary, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing her own well-being and the needs of her children. “But it’s okay to close down a bit and focus on the things that I want in life,” she stated. This period of focused self-care appears to be a deliberate strategy for navigating the complexities of co-parenting and public life.
A Hopeful Outlook on Romance
Despite her current focus on self-protection, Kardashian remains a self-described hopeless romantic. She maintains an optimistic outlook on finding love again, expressing confidence that she will be “so ready” when the “right person” enters her life.
“When the right person comes along, I’ll be so ready and everything will be fine,” Kardashian affirmed, signaling a continued openness to the possibility of a lasting and fulfilling relationship. Her journey underscores the challenges of balancing public scrutiny, personal growth, and the enduring desire for connection.
