Kim Kardashian Disses Kanye West—and the Rest of Her Exes—in Rare Dating Update on Fallon

Kim Kardashian used a lighthearted appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to address dating in a way that also shaded her exes, including Kanye West. Fallon asked Kris Jenner and Khloé Kardashian about setting Kardashian up with a potential partner, and the reality star leaned into a moment of playful shade as the studio audience laughed. Kardashian told Fallon she would “trust her [mom’s] advice, for sure.” Khloé then quipped that she is “not known for a good picker,” referencing her on‑again, off‑again relationship with Tristan Thompson. After laughing at her sister’s joke, Kim cryptically replied, “Same, babe.”

Kim noted she is not currently dating anyone. She has been married three times—Damon Thomas, Kris Humphries and Kanye West—and shares four children with West: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. West, who has moved on with Bianca Censori, whom he married in December 2022, has not been linked to Kardashian in public since their separation. Fallon pressed whether Kardashian is dating, and she replied that she is not dating at the moment and did not reveal whether she is seeing someone privately. Us Weekly reported in December 2024 that the businesswoman is with “someone new” but keeping it very under wraps.

Separately, Kardashian discussed personal growth, saying her and West’s four children “continue to” make lists of men she should go out with—an aside that highlighted the ongoing public interest in the family’s dating lives. In a French Vogue cover story published last week, she described an “exhilarating” boost in confidence since turning 40 and said she no longer needs to check with someone before making a decision. She told the magazine she knows exactly what she wants and that she doesn’t care what people think. Kardashian did not name West in the interview, but the comments carried fresh resonance given their widely documented history.

Meanwhile, West’s life has moved forward with a new partner, Bianca Censori, since their 2022 marriage, and Kardashian’s comments come as fans watch how the siblings balance public interest with private life. The family’s reality series and related interviews continue to shape the public narrative around dating, family, and independence for Kardashian and her sisters.

Kim Kardashian’s Fallon appearance adds to a broader pattern of candid moments about dating that she has offered in recent years. The exchanges on stage underscored the mix of humor and boundary-setting that has become a hallmark of her approach to high-profile relationships, as she raises four children and pursues business and professional goals outside the spotlight.
