As 2025 draws to a close, Kim Kardashian continues to be a focal point of Hollywood intrigue, particularly concerning her single status. Fans are not just observing from the sidelines; they are actively speculating. Whether it’s whispers of rekindling an old flame or gossip about a potential new relationship, Kardashian’s romantic endeavors are making waves across social media and celebrity news outlets. With rumors of secret meetings and enigmatic social media posts, her dating life has become a hot topic this year. Recently, she shared the “really important” quality she seeks in a partner. Here’s what she revealed.

Kim Kardashian says a man’s personal taste and style are ‘very important’

Kim Kardashian’s romantic journey has unfolded like a Hollywood epic. From her rapid early marriage to Damon Thomas and her brief union with Kris Humphries to her iconic relationship with Kanye West, Kardashian’s quest for enduring love has never escaped the spotlight. Throughout 2025, her love life remained relatively low-profile. However, that doesn’t mean she’s closed off to romance.

In September 2025, Kardashian opened up about her dating preferences during an interview at the NikeSKIMS launch, which was discussed on Reddit. When questioned about the importance of style in a potential partner, she emphasized that a man’s personal taste is “really important” to her.

“Taste is very important to me,” Kardashian explained. “A little more than just style. It’s about taste in homes, architecture, and art. Some women believe they can change a man’s style and say, ‘That’s easy to fix.’ But for me, taste is really, really important.”

Considering her past marriage to Kanye West, it’s understandable why personal taste holds significance for her. West is renowned for his Yeezy brand, known for oversized silhouettes and muted, monochromatic color schemes. His utilitarian, future-industrial aesthetic aligns with his creative persona, reflecting a distinct personal taste that Kardashian seems to value.

The reality star previously listed her ‘biggest turn-on’

This is far from the first time that Kim Kardashian has mentioned the traits she hopes to find in a man that she dates. During The Kardashians Season 3 premiere in 2023, she read aloud a list of possible characteristics to friends Tracy Romulus, Olivia Pierson, and Natalie Halcro.

“No. 1, protect me,” Kardashian said, according to People. “No. 2, fight for me; No. 3, good hygiene. I mean, that’s a given. I think I should even take that off.”

She also noted that she wanted a “calm” man with “no mom or dad issues.” The reality star also values patience, support, and someone genuinely happy for her and successful themselves.

As for her biggest turn-on, Kardashian mentioned teeth.

“Teeth are like, one of my biggest turn-ons,” she stated in a confessional. “The straighter, the hornier I’ll get. Just kidding, but not kidding.”

Finally, Kardashian mentioned that her friends and family have to “love” the guy she’s with. And she wants a man who can serve as a “role model” for her children, especially for her sons, Saint and Psalm.

Kim Kardashian said her past marriage to Kanye West affects her dating life now

In October 2025, Kim Kardashian got real about her dating life while speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast. Kardashian explained how Kanye West’s online rants and outspoken nature have affected men she’s gotten “close” to.

“There have been situations where I’ll get close to someone, then it’s like, ‘Wait, wait, wait. I don’t really want to deal with your ex. And I don’t want to deal that he’s going to say something,’” Kardashian explained. “So, it has been a little frustrating. But then I get … my person wouldn’t care about that. But it is a big thing, and I get it, you know? It’s not an easy thing. And I get that.”

Kardashian explained that West’s reactions have caused her to put up a wall with others. “I don’t want to put anyone in that position,” she continued. “So, it’s easier if I just maybe stay away. But I can’t live my life like that either.”
