Kim Kardashian wasn’t interested in keeping up with anyone else for a while.
Four months after the Kardashians star hard launched her romance with Lewis Hamilton, she shared insight into not dating for years beforehand.
“I was really single for five years,” Kardashian told The Times in an interview published Oct. 3. “That felt great. I could focus on my kids and projects that I really wanted to be involved with. I really felt no rush.”
The reality star emphasized that she didn’t “feel empty” after her 2021 breakup from ex Kanye “Ye” West—with whom she shares kids North, 13, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 7. (The couple finalized their divorce in 2022.)
“I felt like I needed my time,” she explained. “I wanted to completely heal and just work on myself. I wasn’t ready to open up. I really wasn’t even thinking about it. The universe works in your favor when you just allow it to.”
Although the SKIMS founder has continued to embrace her romance with the Formula 1 driver in the public eye—including glimpses into romantic getaways in Paris, bike rides in New York City and family tropical vacations—she has yet to speak publicly about their bond.
As she put it, “In the most respectful way, I’d probably rather not.”
Kardashian’s ex Pete Davidson—whom she dated for nine months until splitting in 2022—understands why she has kept some of her relationship close to her chest. After all, he had to navigate West’s wrath while also struggling with being thrust into a new kind of spotlight.
“What tripped me out is I was super open about mental stuff—everyone knows this about me—and it’s like he was [saying], ‘Kill yourself,'” he told Variety in September. “And he did push me.”
The Saturday Night Live alum—who has been candid about his mental health problems and sobriety journey—jokingly said he did Kardashian a favor by being the first person to date her after her and West’s breakup.
“I like to think I got that one out of the way for her because whoever that guy was going to be was gonna get it,” he added. “I cleared the path for her to get back into the dating pool.”
As for where the exes stand now?
“We’re cool,” Davidson—dad to 9-month-old daughter Scottie Rose with ex-girlfriend Elsie Hewitt—said. “I have a lot of love for her, and I knew what I was getting into.”
While Kardashian continues to keep her romance with Hamilton in drive, read on for a closer look at the love lives of the entire Kardashian family.
Kris Jenner
Why, yes, Kris Jenner and longtime love Corey Gamble are still doing amazing, sweetie. In 2014, the music industry insider approached the world’s most famous momager at fashion designer Riccardo Tisci‘s 40th birthday bash in Ibiza and “I just tried saying, ‘You’re beautiful. I’d love to get to know you,'” he shared on the family’s OG series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, “and it went from there.”
Kourtney Kardashian
With all due respect for all the small things, Kourtney Kardashian‘s husband has made some pretty grand gestures throughout their yearlong marriage. Take her 44th birthday that saw her and Travis Barker take a trip up the California coast to Santa Barbara. The Blink-182 drummer marked the occasion by filling their room at the famed Kennedy Cottage with rose petals and gifting her with a $161,819 piece by artist Yoshitomo Nara.
The Poosh founder has fully embraced her new life as the girl at the rock show. And in November 2023, she and Travis welcomed their first child together, son Rocky Thirteen Barker.
Kim Kardashian
As Kim Kardashian put it in a trailer of The Kardashians, “Things change really quickly.” When season two wrapped, the SKIMS founder was still living it up with then-Saturday Night Live standout Pete Davidson.
She later got fans hoping she was getting back in the dating game with retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady.
Alas, the mom to North West, Saint West, Chicago West and Psalm West—with ex-husband Kanye West—wasn’t on the hunt for a new teammate. “They have friends and business partners in common, but [are] not dating,” a source told E! News in May 2023. “Kim is very focused on her kids, her businesses, law school and preparing for American Horror Story.”
She briefly dated Odell Beckham Jr. until news broke of their split in April 2024.
As a source told E!, Kim is “open to finding love again if she meets the right person.”
In early 2026, she fueled romance rumors with Lewis Hamilton. And in June of that year, the reality star hard-launched her relationship with the F1 driver on Instagram.
Khloe Kardashian
In a 2023 episode, Kris shoots her shot while chatting with Khloe Kardashian about Tristan Thompson, asking, “How’s everything going with Tristan?” Safe to say the Good American founder has the basketball player benched for now. Though the exes have worked out a game plan for raising daughter True and son Tatum, Khloe shot down the idea that they’re back together in May 2023, calling the narrative “tiring.”
She’s more interested in starting a fresh story. After meeting Love Is Blind star Alexa Lemieux the following April, Khloe pitched a winning idea to Netflix, writing on Instagram, “I think some of us single K sisters should go on LIB. What do you think?”
Kendall Jenner
Months after Kendall Jenner‘s split with NBA guard Devin Booker in fall 2022, the model’s love life got an assist from friends Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber. The married duo were spotted enjoying a double date with the reality star and musician Bad Bunny in February 2023. The following December, it was reported that the two had called it quits.
Then in the spring of 2026, fans started to wonder if a new romance was in bloom as Kendall was spotted hanging out with Jacob Elordi.
Kylie Jenner
Seems Kylie Jenner has found herself a new beautiful boy. Last seen publicly with rapper Travis Scott—dad to her daughter Stormi and son Aire—at an Art Basel party in December 2022, the beauty mogul, has been linked to Oscar-nominated actor Timothée Chalamet since April 2023. Now, rise and shine because you don’t want to miss the glimpses they’ve given us of their romance at New York Fashion Week and the US Open, as well as live on TV, when they showed PDA while seated together at the 2024 Golden Globes and 2025 Oscars.
