Kim Kardashian says she’s not ready to date after splitting from Kanye West in 2021 and ending her nine-month romance with Pete Davidson in August.

The 41-year-old reality star insists she needs to be by herself and isn’t looking to rush into anything else.

When quizzed about her dating life following her recent two high-profile relationships, the SKIMS founder replied: “I’m just not ready,” after confirming she is single.

During her appearance on Live With Kelly And Ryan on Monday, the hosts tried to give advice, suggesting she needs to date a fellow “titan” in their field, insisting that “he is out there”.

Kardashian added: “You know what, I did say before, maybe I should try to date a doctor or a scientist or something,” joking that “a bunch of attorneys” might want to “reach out” to her while she finishes law school.

Before she quickly clarified: “I’m not looking for anything.”

Seacrest then asked whether the Hulu star can go out on a “normal date”, considering how famous she is, to which she admitted: “I don’t think so”, and stressed once again that she isn’t “looking for anything”.

“It would have to be something set up at a friend’s house, something really chill, nowhere out in public. I just want chill,” she continued.

“I’m not looking for anything. I think I really just need to be by myself and focus and finish school and be with my kids.”

The entreprenuer split from Davidson, 28, last month after nine months together and recently wished him the best for the future.

Although their whirlwind romance came to an end in August, the entrepreneur has no animosity towards Davidson, as she spoke highly of the Saturday Night Live star in a chat with Interview magazine.

She shared: “He’s a cutie. He’s literally such a good person, they don’t really make them like him any more. I’m excited for what he has coming up.”

The couple reportedly decided to end their relationship last month due to their demanding schedules after Davidson travelled to Australia to film his new project, Wizards!.

At the time, a source told E News! that the pair has “a lot of love and respect for each other,” but that the long distance “made it really difficult to maintain a relationship”.
