Kim Kardashian has opened up about the aftermath of her divorce from Kanye West, revealing that she deliberately took time away from dating to focus on herself.
The reality star said she was in no rush to find another relationship after her marriage to the rapper ended.

“I was single for five years, and that felt great,” she told The Sunday Times’ Style.
“I really felt no rush. I really didn’t feel empty. I felt like I needed my time. I wanted to completely heal and just work on myself.
"I wasn’t ready to open up.”

Kim and Kanye, who share four children, began dating in 2012 and married in 2014. Kim filed for divorce in 2021 and their divorce was finalised in 2022.
Kim said that when she eventually felt ready to open herself up to a new relationship, things seemed to happen naturally.
“The universe works in your favor when you just allow it to,” she said.

Kim has since been romantically linked to Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, with reports of a possible relationship first emerging earlier this year.
The pair have been spotted together on several occasions, including during trips and social outings, although neither has publicly confirmed the nature of their relationship.

A source previously told ET that Hamilton makes Kim feel “safe, secure, and completely herself.”
However, Kim has chosen to keep her own comments about the relationship to a minimum.
Asked directly about her relationship with Hamilton, she told the magazine: “In the most respectful way, I’d probably rather not.”

Kim was previously married three times, including her marriage to Kanye West.
She has said that taking time to heal after their highly publicised divorce was important before she was ready to move forward with her personal life.
