Kim Kardashian 'Worries' Men Won't Want To Date Her Following Dramatic Split From Kanye West, Says Source
Dating can be tough, and there's no exception for Kim Kardashian, who is apparently concerned about finding a new flame following her and Kanye West's public relationship, according to a source.
“She’s not focused on dating at the moment," claimed the insider, "but actually worries that guys will not want to date her because of how public her relationship was with Kanye."
Kardashian — who filed for divorce from the "Power" rapper in February, though news of their split made headlines in January — is apparently worried about opening up to someone new. "She also knows how hard it is to build trust with someone," the source added, "so she thinks it’s going to take time before letting someone into her private life."
The 40-year-old and West, 44 — with whom she shares children North, 8, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2 — were friends for years before they began their romantic relationship, the insider explained, "so they had years’ worth of trust."
Meanwhile, those close to the KUWTK reality star assured her that they will have a lineup of men waiting for her when she's ready to get back out there. "Friends and family are telling her she has nothing to worry about when she’s ready to date again," the source dished. "They gladly will be setting her up with potential suitors."
And while the KKW beauty founder may not be ready for a new partner in her life, the same can't be said for her soon-to-be ex-husband.

OK! reported that West has been cozying up with new flame Irina Shayk. The new couple were first spotted together earlier in June when they were seen out and about in France on the Grammy Award winner's birthday. However, a source revealed the duo has actually "been quietly seeing each other for a couple months."
Kardashian reportedly knew of the couple's blossoming romance; but "she certainly did not think that Kanye would move on with someone else before her," the source candidly told Us Weekly.
Kardashian previously opened up about the former couple's crumbling romance during the final season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. She admitted that the father-of-four deserves a woman who can be by his side no matter what — something she simply can't do.
“I just think he deserves someone who will support his every move and go follow him all over the place," she told her sisters on the Thursday, June 3, episode. "I can’t do that."
Meanwhile, OK! exclusively learned that Kardashian and West have been trying to seamlessly iron out their divorce while keeping it out of the public eye. "They want this to be a gradual process while they figure out boundaries that will make the negotiations easier," spilled the source, adding that they've been having "quite formal" meetings at Kardashian's Hidden Hills, Calif., mansion.
"It’s only for an hour or so when the kids aren’t home," the insider said of Kardashian and West's encounters at their former family home.
