Khloé Kardashianis single — and she has no desire to change that anytime soon.

The Kardashiansstar, 40, gave fans a glimpse into her dating life and why she’s chosen to remain single in a new interview withBustle.

“Dating has not been a focus for me, and I’ve been single for about three years and love it,” she confessed, sharing how much she enjoys time to herself. " But I’m not single and dating. I’m just single. I have such power and strength in that. I’m not lonely."

If she were “single and lonely,” Kardashian said her relationship status would be a bit concerning, but instead, she said she was “single and thriving.”

“I feel like I’m working on myself so much and am getting to such a good place that I just don’t want something to disrupt it,” she explained, adding how dating in this day and age has been “very scary.”

The Good American founder noted her disdain for meeting someone on social media, and despite the influx of messages from potential suitors, she revealed that she’s “not checking my DMs” for any dates.

But dating is “awful anywhere,” Kardashian told the outlet, explaining, “I just can’t imagine I would bring a man that I’m dating around my kids. So then where do I go to date you? I’m not going to a restaurant where there’s paparazzi and everyone’s going to say we’re getting married next week. I’m not going to your home because what if you kill me? You’re not coming tomyhome — I have kids! And I’m not going to a hotel — that’s presumptuous. So I’m like, ‘What do you do?'”

Despite the concerns of her loved ones, like her motherKris Jenner, Kardashian said she feels content with life without a man. Frankly, she admits she doesn’t have time for one.

“These boundaries are so important to put into place with Tristan because we’ve done this song and dance a handful of times already,” she said during a June 2023 episode ofThe Kardashians. “I’ve gotten back with him aftera cheating scandalso I don’t know if Tristan is under the impression, ‘Oh wow, OK, let’s just ride this out and eventually she’ll get back with me.’”

“I get why he would think that, so it’s my job to set boundaries that my actions show otherwise,” she continued. “I keep it very short and sweet and make sure he knows it’s always about the kids because it’s so easy to fall back into [habits]. I can’t let those old habits easily come into my life. It’s just not what I want.”
