Kim Kardashian is keeping her heart in check.

The Kardashians star got candid about her dating life nearly five after her breakup with ex-husband Kanye "Ye" West, sharing her current apprehension to find love.

“You get really comfortable the longer you’re single," she said in a confessional on the Nov. 13 episode of her Hulu reality show. "You get really comfortable being single and the thought of you sharing a bed or your TV shows with someone else becomes less and less appealing because you get set in your ways.”

Kim was confronted with the sentiment up during a heart-to-heart with her All's Fair costar Sarah Paulson, who said she's noticed how the 45-year-old has a need to "protect" herself from the rest of the world.

"Even think about the amount of times you’re trying to keep everything little and tight around your kids," the Emmy winner told Kim, who shares children North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5, with Ye. "I’m actually wanting more for you of whatever the great romance of your life is, for that to be able to bloom."

And while Kim agrees with Sarah about the tough exterior she's developed since the divorce, she has no big inclination to shift her focus away from her career and family for romance.

"I know Sarah feels like I have put up this wall to overprotect myself so that I just may be don’t open up to love," Kim admitted in a confessional, "but it’s OK to close down a bit and focus on the things that I want in life.”

But that's not to say the SKIMS founder has closed the door on dating for good. As she put it, "I’m the biggest hopeless romantic. When the right person comes along, I’ll be so ready and everything will be fine."

New episodes of The Kardashians release every Thursday on Hulu. 

For more details on the love lives of Kim and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenners, read on.

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.

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." 

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.

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.
