Kim Kardashian is keeping her romantic life private, with one relationship expert suggesting she's now "taking a different approach to dating". The reality TV icon, 43, hasn't had the best luck when it comes to her relationships.
Fans believed she had finally found "the one" in Kanye West, but Kim filed for divorce from the rapper in 2021 after seven years of marriage. She then moved on with comedian Pete Davidson, but their romance was over after just nine months. Kim recently hinted she's been dating a mystery man referred to only as Fred but refused to provide any other details. Relationship expert Louella Alderson suggested Kim might find it "refreshing" to keep her love life under wraps.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Louella said: "Kim mentioned she was getting close to someone on The Kardashians but she was being very secretive. This could imply Kim is taking a different approach to dating and keeping things more private until she feels completely ready to go public. She has put a lot of her relationships on display in the past, so it may be refreshing for her to keep this aspect of her life more low-key."

Louella told us: "Kim Kardashian has been working on her brand and how she is perceived by the public since her divorce from Kanye. This could mean she goes for someone who aligns with her revived image and values. Kim has been focusing on her businesses, her law studies and her children, so it's possible that her next partner will be someone who is also driven, ambitious and successful in their own right."

Kim had a big age gap with Pete, with the SKIMS founder being 13 years his senior. Speaking on her family's reality show, Kim admitted she now wants a more "age-appropriate" relationship. Louella suggested the type of man Kim might look for next, saying: "As for age and profession, it's difficult to predict who Kim may date next.

It's likely that while the chemistry with Pete may have been fun and exciting, Kim may be looking for a more stable partner with whom she has more in common."
She added: "It's possible that she may continue to date within the entertainment industry, as it is a world she is familiar with and where she is most likely to meet new people. However, it's also possible that she may branch out and date someone outside of the entertainment industry, such as a businessman or entrepreneur who shares her ambition."
