Influencer Khloe Kardashian continues to grapple with the emotional aftermath of her tumultuous relationship with her cheating ex, Tristan Thompson.
On November 20, 2024, an anonymous source close to the Kardashian sister exclusively revealed to In Touch Weekly that Khloe has been in a lonely rut since her highly publicized split from Tristan in late 2021.
Highlighting the mental and emotional toll the relationship took on her, as well as the added pressure from her family urging her to start dating again, the source explained,
“A lot of people in her life think she’s just got such bad PTSD from how terribly Tristan treated her that she’s shutting herself off from finding anyone new out of fear she’ll get hurt again”.
The insider also offered insight into why the reality TV star has avoided dating in the two years since her split. They attributed it to Khloé’s strong belief in fate and the importance of perfect timing. The source shared,
“Khloé keeps insisting that she’s happy with the way her life is. She says when the time is right she’ll meet someone naturally…”
Khloe Kardashian Still Holding Out Hope For Rekindling Romance With Tristan Thompson
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star reportedly still harbors hopes of rekindling her relationship with her ex-partner. According to the source, despite her ample time as a single woman, Khloe has consistently turned down potential romantic interests. They shared,
“[Khloe] has turned down so many guys… she just can’t connect with anyone the way she does with Tristan. At the end of the day, she has zero romance in her life and it’s really unhealthy because whether she admits it or not, she’s obviously holding out for Tristan”.
Earlier, on an episode of the season 5 of The Kardashians, which premiered on June 6, 2024, Khloe herself addressed her two-year singledom and explained her reasons for putting dating on hold. Emphasizing her focus on motherhood and self-care, she shared,
“I don’t want to [find a boyfriend]. Once I am done with the kids… I have limited time… I’m not sharing it with a man… and I am not sharing my bed… I am exhausted. I don’t want anything… I don’t want anyone stopping my routine”.
Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson first met on a blind date in August 2016 and soon started dating. The couple dated on and off for almost 5 years before calling it quits in December 2021. Together, they share two children, daughter True and son Tatum.
Fans Have Mixed Reactions To Khloe’s 2-Year Long Singlehood Journey
The online community is split in their opinion about the Good American co-founder’s decision not to date anytime soon. While some netizens support her focus on self-love, others think it’s only a matter of time before she moves on. Supporters of her stance wrote on an Instagram post,
“Leave her alone I also feel the same way. Love my little bubble don’t need people around let me do me”.
“Why can’t she just be single…ffs leave her alone”.
“Leave her alone. Not every woman needs a man. She’s busy raising her children”.
While some harsh commenters took a sarcastic jab at Khloe, writing,
“Maybe she needs another cheating boyfriend, she’s probably due for another anyway”.
