Kim Kardashianwasn’t sure anyone would be interested in dating her after all the drama with her divorce fromKanye West.
While speaking about her current love life on Thursday’s season 3 premiere ofThe Kardashians, Kim, 42, admitted to feeling insecure about getting back into the dating scene.
“I go back and forth in my feelings sometimes, like, who’s ever gonna wanna date me?” Kim said in a confessional. “I have four kids, I’m in my 40s … like,Who’s gonna wanna deal with the drams?”
Still, though, Kim was hopeful to find love again. “But my person is gonna be like, ‘F— all that. It’s gonna be hard, but we’re together and we’re gonna do this.’ So I’m just waiting for that person.”
The confession came as Kim opened up about her split fromPete Davidsonand the ways her divorce from Kanye, 45, impacted their relationship.

“I’m single and I’m not ready to mingle and that’s OK,” she said in a confessional, before tellingScott Disickand sisterKhloé Kardashian, “Breakups are just like, not my thing.”
“It’s obviously sad … [nine months] is a long time,” she continued, noting how she and Pete, 29, “had talks and talks” about their breakup and “both of us communicated really well about it.”
Kim also admitted she felt “a lot of guilt” after their split since Pete “went through a lotbecause of my relationship [with Kanye].” (Kanyehurled several attacksat the formerSaturday Night Livecomedian, both online and in the press, while he and Kim dated for nine months in 2022.)

“Even through all of the craziness of everything that Kanye says about us, I never comment, I never post … we stay silent through all the lies,” Kim said. “Even how he looks so down on me formy [sex] tape, brings it up all over town, all over the media. Like, thanks for reminding people once again. All of his shenanigans is gonna be far more damaging to the kids one day than my tape will ever be and I have to sit here and not say anything, ever, because I know one day my kids will appreciate that.”
Growing emotional, Kim noted how she has to be the bigger person for the sake oftheir four children.
“I’m the one where s— could be going down and I get in the car, and every day, the kids want to blast dad’s music and I’m like, ‘He’s the best!’ I put it on and we’re singing along, and inside I’m dying because I will be his biggest cheerleader to them forever, and one day, when they can see for themselves, I’ll answer whatever they want me to. It’s a lot,” she said. “And the one that was supposed to protect me — and still does interviews saying they will be my forever protector — is the one that’s hurting me the most.”
“I don’t know what to do, I don’t want to be a part of this narrative. And it’s like, when is this ever gonna end? It never will,” she added. “I’m stuck with this for the rest of my life.”
