Kim Kardashian Says She Took Time Before Dating Again

Published 4 October 2026

Kim Kardashian said she spent years focused on healing, her children and work before feeling ready to open up to a new relationship, describing the period as “really single for five years.” She also declined to discuss her relationship with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton in a recent interview. Kardashian said she felt no rush to date after her separation from Kanye West and did not feel empty. She wanted time to work on herself and was not ready to open up, she said. Her account was published in an interview on October 3. The five-year description is not clearly defined in the available account. Reports place Kardashian in relationships during the period, including a relationship with comedian Pete Davidson after her separation from West. One account also includes a relationship with Odell Beckham Jr. in the post-marriage timeline. The reports do not clarify whether Kardashian was using “single” to describe a particular stretch or a broader period in which she did not feel ready to open up. Kardashian and West share four children. They separated in 2021, and their divorce was finalized in 2022.
