Everyone wants to know who the "new guy" is. It is the first question people ask when a celebrity has been single for a while, especially a Kardashian. But if you’re looking for a name to link with Khloé Kardashian right now, you aren't going to find one.
She doesn't have a boyfriend.
Honestly, she seems kind of over the whole idea of dating at the moment. After the years of headlines, the very public "situationships," and the drama that felt more like a soap opera than real life, Khloé has checked out of the dating pool. It’s not that she can’t find a date—she’s Khloé Kardashian—it’s that she has basically decided her peace is worth more than a plus-one.
The Tristan Thompson Shadow
You can't talk about Khloé’s current status without acknowledging the elephant in the room: Tristan Thompson.
People are constantly looking for signs that they’ve reconciled. It happens every time they’re spotted at a basketball game together or whenever he shows up in the background of a birthday party video. Just recently, fans went into a frenzy over a gingerbread house during the 2025 holidays that had Tristan’s name on it. Everyone assumed it meant they were "back on."
It didn't.
Khloé has been incredibly clear—almost exhaustingly so—on her podcast Khloé in Wonderland and on their Hulu show. She and Tristan are co-parents. Period. She’s even joked about how people find it weird that she lets him in her house, but as she puts it, "Tristan is not back in." He is the father of True and Tatum. That is the boundary, and by all accounts, she is sticking to it with a level of discipline that honestly deserves some respect given their history.
Why the "NBA Player" Rumors Won't Die
There is this weird obsession with linking Khloé to every rising star in the NBA. Just this month, rumors started swirling about her and Victor Wembanyama. It was all over social media.

It was also completely fake.
The internet loves the "Kardashian Curse" narrative so much that they’ll invent a relationship just to keep the meme alive. Former NBA player Rashad McCants even had to jump on X (formerly Twitter) to tell people to "just stop it" because the rumors were so unfounded. Khloé herself hasn't been linked to an actual, verifiable human man since a brief stint with a private equity investor way back in 2022.
She’s been celibate for years. She has said it publicly. She is focusing on her kids, her brand Good American, and her own mental health. It’s a huge shift from the girl we saw in the early 2010s who was constantly searching for "the one."
The "Only Man in My Bed" Rule
Khloé recently dropped a bit of a bombshell in a YouTube video that felt very "real talk." She said the only boy allowed in her bed these days is her son, Tatum.
Think about that for a second.
For someone whose entire adult life has been documented through the lens of her romantic relationships—from the whirlwind marriage to Lamar Odom to the James Harden era—choosing to be alone is a radical act. It’s not that she’s "lonely." She’s actually leaning into the "codependency" she has with her daughter, True. They’re a unit. Adding a boyfriend into that mix right now seems like it would just mess up the vibe she’s worked so hard to build.
Dealing with the "Brother Rob" Confusion
Speaking of Tatum, Khloé has been surprisingly open about the emotional hurdles of her second journey into motherhood via surrogacy. Recently, she even admitted she made Tristan take three separate DNA tests for Tatum.
Why? Because she thought the baby looked so much like her brother, Rob Kardashian, that she got paranoid there had been a mix-up at the clinic.
It sounds like a joke, but she was serious. "In this family, that would not surprise me," she said on the SHE MD podcast. The tests, of course, confirmed Tristan is the father. But that level of transparency—talking about the DNA tests, the lack of an immediate bond with a surrogate baby, the "weird" resemblances—shows where her head is at. She’s focused on the reality of her family, not the fantasy of a new romance.
What's Next for Khloé's Love Life?
Is she done with men forever? Probably not. She’s only 41. She has said that if she meets someone in two months or two years and falls in love, that’s great. But the "active search" is over.
She isn't on the apps. She isn't asking Kim to set her up at dinner parties anymore. She is in her "villain era," but the version where the villain just stays home, does face masks, and goes to bed at 9:00 PM.
If you’re trying to keep up with Khloé’s dating life, the best thing to do is stop looking for a boyfriend and start looking at her business moves and her parenting. That’s where the actual action is.
How to Apply the "Khloé Method" to Your Own Life:
- Set Hard Boundaries: If an ex is in your life for the kids, keep it about the kids. No "sliding back" just because it's convenient.
- Value Your Peace: Being single isn't a "waiting room" for a relationship; it’s a valid state of being.
- Ignore the Noise: People will talk regardless of what you do. You might as well do what makes you happy.
Khloé Kardashian has spent over a decade being defined by the men she’s with. In 2026, she’s finally defining herself by the woman she is when no one is watching.
