During the June 20 episode of The Kardashians, Khloé opened up about her decision not to date right now and why she’d be open to meeting people down the line.
When a producer pointed out that her family has been saying she needs to “get out more,” Khloé, 39, was unbothered by their comments. “Who knows what other people think? But I’m happy!” she insisted to cameras.
Khloé then confirmed she “100 percent” thinks she’ll find love again one day after being asked if she’d be open to the idea.
“I can’t tap out now, I’m not even 40!” she said. “One day, I will be married again, I love love. I will get my fairytale.”
She added, “I know one day that will happen but I’m just not right there right now… I love sharing my life with me, with my kids. I don’t need anyone. When I’m at the place when I wanna date, I will. And trust me, if I like the person, I’ll publicize it!”

At another point during the episode, Khloé opened up to best friend Malika Haqq about her hesitations when it comes to dating, admitting her kids — daughter True, 6, and son Tatum, 23 months — and past relationship with ex and father of her children Tristan Thompson were huge factors.
“It’s a scary world out there, there’s phones everywhere,” Khloé said. “I definitely think what I’ve been through is a factor why I’m not just like, ‘Let’s just start dating again!'”
“I don’t want to f— up my kids. So much has already transpired that could potentially f— them up that I don’t want to add to that by bringing somebody new to mix ’cause so far, people have been very disappointing,” she added. “I’m just not gonna open myself up the same way that I once did, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. I also think that’s what growing up is, you learn to protect yourself.”
Khloé and Tristan dated on and off from 2016 until 2022, weathering several cheating scandals by the NBA player in the process, including once when Khloé was pregnant with True and another time when they were secretly expecting their second child via surrogate.

Though she and Tristan remain cordial today out of respect for their children, Khloé has been adamant that she sees no reconciliation ever happening and is more than happy to be single.
“I feel like I’m f—ing thriving in my own little circle and world, but just even to think about someone being in my space where I have to share my TV or my bed, I’m like, no. No means no and that’s all you gotta know,” she said on a previous episode this season. “I’m just finding my rhythm in life again, I guess.”
