Kim Kardashian is ‘Still Single’ — Romance Rumors Are Just a Strategy to Enhance Her Appeal
Despite numerous reports claiming Kim Kardashian is in a relationship with a real estate investor, a source has confirmed to The U.S. Sun that the fashion mogul is still single.
At 44, Kim has not entered into any romantic relationship with a real estate mogul, contrary to the headlines circulating earlier this month. In fact, according to an insider, the rumors about her alleged new romance are being fabricated to make her appear "more desirable."
The source explained that neither Kim nor the so-called investor have ever been seen together in public, whether at restaurants or out and about. This raises doubts about the authenticity of the relationship, with the insider suggesting that the rumors might have been deliberately planted by Kim and her mother, Kris Jenner. "These reports about Kim 'privately dating a real estate investor' are just not true," the insider revealed. "It’s the same strategy that was used last year when Khloe was rumored to be dating a businessman."
The source further elaborated, claiming that Kim and Kris may have spread the rumors to counter the narrative of Kim being 'unwanted' or 'unlucky in love.' "It’s all about maintaining the image of Kim as a desirable, in-demand woman," they added. "They don’t want people thinking, 'poor Kim, why can’t anyone date her?'"
A representative for Kim did not respond to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment on the matter.
Is There a New Man in Kim's Life?
This follows reports from Page Six just last week, which suggested Kim may be seeing someone new. However, the report clarified that while Kim is "not in a committed relationship," she is "dating a few people." A source shared that Kim met the supposed real estate investor "through mutual friends," but the relationship is still in its early stages.
Interestingly, the source also pointed out that this new rumored romance isn't the first one Kim has been linked to since her breakup with NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. Kim and Odell reportedly split in August after their brief fling, with their connection said to have "fizzled out."
Kim’s Past Relationships: A Look Back
Kim Kardashian’s love life has often been in the public eye, and her past relationships have been well-documented. She was married to rapper Kanye West, with whom she shares four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. Kim and Kanye first met in the early 2000s, became friends in 2008, and started dating in 2012. They tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in May 2014. However, Kim filed for divorce in February 2021, citing "irreconcilable differences." The divorce was finalized in November 2022. Kanye, for his part, quickly moved on with Bianca Censori, an Australian architect who works for his company, Yeezy.
While Kim’s divorce was highly publicized, her dating life after Kanye has been a subject of much speculation. Her brief fling with Odell Beckham Jr. was one of the more recent romances to hit the tabloids, but it appears to have quickly faded.
The Pattern of 'Fabricated Romance Rumors'
The insider also drew attention to a similar pattern of romance rumors in the Kardashian family. In 2022, Khloe Kardashian was rumored to be dating a private equity investor, with People magazine reporting that she met him at a party, introduced by none other than Kim. At the time, it was said that Khloe was "feeling really good" about this mystery man, but there was never any concrete proof of their relationship. The source noted that the situation with Kim’s rumored romance is strikingly similar to what happened with Khloe a year ago.
"It’s the same playbook," the source explained. "Create a little buzz, stir some interest, and keep the public thinking there’s something going on, even if there’s really nothing to see." This suggests that the Kardashian-Jenner family may have a history of fueling rumors about their personal lives to generate media attention and maintain a strong presence in the spotlight.
A Strategy to Stay Relevant?
It’s no secret that the Kardashian-Jenner family is no stranger to controlling their public image. From business ventures to personal lives, every move seems carefully crafted to maintain their position as one of the most talked-about families in the entertainment industry. Kim Kardashian, in particular, has made a career out of cultivating an image of glamour, success, and intrigue. And as her personal life continues to be scrutinized by the public, these fabricated romance rumors could just be another strategy to stay in the limelight.
While Kim might not be dating a real estate investor right now, it seems that the rumors around her love life will continue to fuel media conversations for the foreseeable future.
