The promotional teaser for Season 6 ofThe Kardashiansshowed a clip of reality star and mega-entrepreneurKim Kardashianpreparing to renovate her Hidden Hills mansion in order to accommodate a closet fora new mystery man.By the close of Season 6, viewers were aware that this had simply been a ploy to generate interest in the new season, since Kim was simply manifesting a new man in her life by creating closet space. No mystery suitor ever emerged, if viewers had ever expected one to appear on the series in the first place. By the end of the season, Kim was telling viewers they would have to tune in next season to see if she had manifested this new man by then.
Those who have been paying attention toThe Kardashiansin recent seasonsaren’t holding their breath for Kim to feature a relationship on the series in a meaningful way. The reality series has become saturated with staged storylines, designed to distract from the fact that the famous sisters are no longer sharing their true realities on the series any longer. Especially when it comes to their personal lives, as the sisters have each taken to keeping their relationships completely private.The Kardashian siblings have learned the hard way how difficult it can get for them when their partners start to be problematic in public, especially if the cameras are rolling on their reality series. In a family with a remarkably checkered dating history, there is only one Kardashian ex who didn’t turn out to be problematic.
There Are Plenty of Problematic Kardashian Exes
The list of problematic Kardashian exes from casual relationships is far too long, but even focusing on just the heavy hitters will take a moment. Arguably, Kim hasthe superlative problematic ex-husbandinKanye West, who now prefers to be called Ye. His ongoing antisemitic antics and perennial rants against his ex-wife often amount to hate speech and harassment.But Kim has several contenders on the most problematic list. Including when she claimed in Season 6 thather second ex-husbandKris Humphriesnotably kept the engagement ring that she says she paid for mostly herself, which speaks to the bitterness that came with the end of that union.
Khloé Kardashianhas been aspirationalwhen it comes to handling the pressure of media scrutiny gracefully, even thoughshe has arguably had the hardest time with her exes in the media, next to Kim and Ye. This is especially true withher most recent ex,Tristan Thompson,and his problematic behavior as a partner. But her ex-husbandLamar Odom’s recent appearance onThe Kardashiansproved there was stilla lot of unprocessed painin this relationship from his problematic behavior.
Kourtney Kardashianhas been basking in marital blissever since her marriage to Blink-182 drummerTravis Barker, but her ex-partnerScott Disickhas been holding down the problematic title for as long as we’ve known him. He even texted Kourtney’s ex-boyfriend,Younes Bendjima, about her PDAs with Travis, and Younes leaked the texts to the media.Scott heldthe title of most problematic exseveral times in his on-again, off-again journey with Kourtney. However,Rob Kardashian’s exBlac Chynamay have stolen the lead for a moment when she sued the family in 2017.
French Montana Is the One Kardashian Ex Who Has Remained Unproblematic
Pete Davidsonhas made a charming turn for the better in recent years, but his relationship with Kim seemed so much like an SNL PR stunt that he may not actually number among the Kardashian exes anyway. Although he certainly lived with the consequences of publicly dating Ye’s ex-wife.There are many problematic exes the Kardashian siblings have dated, but there is one who stands alone, excluded from the list. While there is an argument to be made about each partner from Kardashian relationships past being problematic in some way,French Montanais the one who stands alone as a positive example.
Montana dated Khloé for just under a year in 2014. Both partners continue to speak highly of one another in the press, andhe seems to mirror the Kardashian value of loyalty among friends and family. Ina 2019 interview withHaute Living, Montana spoke highly of his ex-partner, noting he and Khloé will always be in each other’s lives as friends, and that he remains close to the whole family. The interview sums up with a depiction of Montana as simply a man who prioritizes his personal relationships above all else, who works and plays hard in equal measure, and who ensures he gives back to his community through charity work. There is literally nothing problematic about Khloé’s ex-boyfriend, now turned family friend, and Montana remains the shining example ofhow to treat a partner post break-up.
