Khloe Kardashian sets up online dating profile

Newly-single Khloe Kardashian is delving into the world of online dating following her split from basketball star James Harden.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians beauty, who began dating James in July (15), hit headlines on Monday (08Feb16), when reports suggested she had quietly called it quits with the Houston Rockets ace several weeks ago.

Khloe has now confirmed the news by revealing she has signed up to matchmaking website OKCupid - although she claims it's all just for fun.

"I've never done online dating before, but just for s**ts and giggles," she wrote on her website on Tuesday (09Feb16). "Malika (Haqq, best friend) and I decided to fill one out. It was actually really fun to do, LOL (laugh out loud)!"

Kim Kardashian's younger sister showed off her profile photo, in which she is pictured with tight braids, and shared information about her favourite things to do.

"Working or hanging out with my nieces and nephews: Penelope, Mason, Reign, Saint and North!" she stated in the 'hobbies' section.

The 31-year-old also revealed her motto is: "Taking every day as it comes."

Khloe previously put her romance with James on hold in October (15) after her estranged husband, Lamar Odom, suffered a scary drug overdose at a Nevada brothel.

At the time, the reality TV star insisted James had been nothing but supportive as she helped to nurse Lamar back to good health after he awoke from a coma.

"James has been great," she told Ryan Seacrest in November (15). "He's been very supportive with everything. I'm sure there was, of course, times that he was uncomfortable with some of the things, but I'm a very honest person and I have nothing to hide... He's been great and I've been open and honest."

Although her romance with James has since fizzled out, Khloe proved on Sunday (07Feb16) that she is still on good terms with Lamar by taking a hike with him, accompanied by sister Kim.

Khloe has also remained close to another ex, rapper French Montana, who she was spotted partying with at the Ace of Diamonds strip club in Los Angeles on Monday night (08Feb16). They previously dated on and off in 2014.
