Fans are salivating over the new \u2018romance\u2019 they didn\u2019t know they needed\u2026<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2182738587-1.jpg” alt=”Jennifer Aniston” title_text=”2024 LACMA Art+Film Gala” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”19px||16px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
Kim’s got her eye on a new man<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
Over a decade on from when Kim Kardashian \u2018broke the internet\u2019 with a 2014 magazine cover picturing her holding a champagne coupe on her own lucrative asset, 2025 has been the year of the more \u2018down-to-earth\u2019 and rugged celebrity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last month, \u2018man of the moment\u2019, Travis Kelce, AKA the future Mr Swift paved the way for other famous faces to embrace their wild side when his GQ spread saw him baring his hairy chest in all its tufted glory while swimming in a lake in just a cowboy hat and cosying up to a crocodile like a real-life Mick Dundee.<\/p>\n
And this week, it was the turn of rapper\/songwriter\/everyone\u2019s favourite collab, Post Malone, who teamed up with lingerie powerhouse Kim to model the new \u2018camouflage\u2019 range of her SKIMS line.<\/p>\n
One fan remarked of the unexpected collab, \u2018He’s a gentleman and she’s a queen.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Showing off his 60 pound weight loss in a pair of boxers and a cowboy hat whilst chopping wood, Post, real name Austin, is then snapped riding a horse, driving a pick-up truck and fishing, all while displaying his full-body of tattoos which, in one photo, appear to completely blend in to his boxers, leaving fans with one rather large question mark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And with Hollywood appearing to have been lassoed into this emerging \u2018wild west\u2019 trend, a source tells us that one lady who may be looking for her own cowboy is Kim herself, who they say is crushing on the \u2018bad boy of country\u2019 in a big way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The insider says, \u2018Kim\u00a0personally selected Austin because she was super impressed by his journey as well as his overall energy and style. He\u2019s a lot like Pete Davidson [Kim’s ex] in that he\u2019s extremely down-to-earth and not at all consumed by fame and Hollywood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s a maverick who dances to the beat of his own drum, which Kim finds sexy. She\u2019s crushing on him, big time, especially now he\u2019s recently single.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018They\u2019ve built up a good working relationship and had some great conversations about parenting, music, life in the South, the difficulties he dealt with during childhood and his hopes and dreams for the future.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their friendship comes two months after Post, 30, split with stylist Christy Lee, who he had been dating since the beginning of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile KUWTK star Kim, 44, has officially been single since splitting with football player Odell Beckham Jr. in April last year and she recently dropped some unsubtle hints that she\u2019s back on the dating scene, telling podcaster Angie Martinez last month, \u2018I\u2019m definitely in my fun zone right now.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
And now the source says Kim and Post are hoping to enjoy some time getting to know each other off-set.\u00a0<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-28-at-12.45.29-1.png” alt=”Jennifer Aniston” title_text=”Screenshot 2025-08-28 at 12.45.29″ force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
Post Malone has got his Skims on for Kim<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
They tell us, \u2018She\u2019d love to host him in LA and see where it leads or even fly out for some hangouts in Nashville [where Post opened a music venue last month] which Austin\u2019s happy to make happen.<\/p>\n
\u2018He spends most of his time at his ranch in Utah and\u00a0Kim\u00a0has talked about flying out there to spend the day horseback riding with him, too.\u2019<\/p>\n
They add, \u2018She\u2019s been bragging to everyone about how authentic he is and how deep their conversations get, she loves that he isn\u2019t afraid to be vulnerable with her. They can talk for hours and she says he never seems like he\u2019s trying to impress her, he\u2019s just totally himself, which makes her feel like she can let down her guard.\u2019\u00a0
The two have also both experienced tough times with their mutual exes of late, with Kim admitting she was \u2018scared\u2019 to invite a new man into her life amidst the chaos of co-parenting with Kanye West, while Post is currently embroiled in a custody battle with his ex-fianc\u00e9, Jamie Park \u2013 whom he split from late last year – over their three-year-old daughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And the source says that their bonding over their difficult personal battles has led to the flirting \u2018ramping up\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They tell us, \u2018He\u2019s going through a rough custody battle right now and he\u2019s actually using the same lawyer [Laura Wasser] that\u00a0Kim\u00a0used for her divorce from Kanye, so that\u2019s another thing they talk about a lot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Things are still completely undefined but the flirting is ramping up, which is exciting for\u00a0Kim. Her sisters are all encouraging her, especially Kourtney who knows Austin really well because he\u2019s friends with Travis Barker, and she has nothing but good things to say about him.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-1241009053.jpg” alt=”Perdro Pascal” title_text=”Celebrity Sightings In London – May 30, 2022″ force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
Kim previously surprised people when she dated Pete Davidson<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
Post\u2019s old country charm certainly appears a far cry from her ex Kanye\u2019s attitude towards women. When collaborating with Taylor Swift last year, the singer only referred to her as \u2018mam\u2019 during videos released of the behind-the-scenes footage.<\/p>\n
Another famous collaborator, country Queen Dolly Parton also referred to him as \u2018such a wholesome guy!\u2019<\/p>\n
And with Kanye and his new wife, Bianca Censori, dominating headlines with their outrageous stunts, the source says Kim knows that fans would go wild if her and Post were to embark on a romance.<\/p>\n
\u2018Kim\u00a0isn\u2019t dumb, she knows dating him will get her tons of attention,\u2019 the insider says.<\/p>\n
\u2018People are not going to be expecting this, it will be just like when she started hanging out with Pete and everyone lost their minds. The guaranteed attention is definitely a part of the appeal for her.\u2019<\/p>\n
And Kim isn\u2019t the only one rooting for this relationship, with the source telling us that her \u2018momager\u2019 Kris Jenner knows viewers of\u00a0Keeping Up With the Kardashians\u00a0would relish Kim having a new man on the show.<\/p>\n
They tell us, \u2018Of course her mum is salivating at the thought of all the great storylines they could get from this. Kris is already trying to convince\u00a0Kim\u00a0that they should film the first date.<\/p>\n
\u2018Things aren\u2019t quite at that stage yet, but if things progress the way they are now it won\u2019t be long before they are dating and of course it will be a no-brainer storyline for the show, that\u2019s how things work in the Kardashian universe.\u2019<\/p>\n
But the source says Kim isn\u2019t quite ready to share Post with the eyes of the world yet (and who can blame her?), adding, \u2018Kim\u00a0swears this isn\u2019t just about getting attention though, she\u2019s genuinely into him. She thinks he\u2019s hot and says they have a very special connection.\u2019<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Aboreto|||on|||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
