Khloé Kardashian expressed her gratitude towards Kim Kardashian for arranging a date with Michele Morrone in Milan. In an exclusive sneak peek of the upcoming episode of The Kardashians, the 38-year-old Good American cofounder described her sister's efforts as "cute" and appreciated her for taking the time to plan and set her up.
In the video, Khloé reminisced about her first encounter with the 32-year-old actor. She shared, "We were seated together at the show, and he asked me if I liked Dolce & Gabbana. I replied, 'Yes, I do.' Then I asked him if he liked Dolce, and he responded, 'Absolutely! It's always been my dream to model for them since I was a child. And now I am the face of Dolce.'"
Kris Jenner highlighted Michele's prominent appearance in a major fashion brand's promotional campaign.
The momager, 67, described him as the face of Dolce, confidently wearing a speedo and emerging from a waterfall. Khloé, on the other hand, admitted that she is often clueless about celebrity identities, jokingly stating that she could mistake Tom Hanks for a random person and ask him about his movie preferences.
Their relationship sparked speculation in September 2022 after they were seen getting comfortable and engaged in a conversation backstage at a fashion show in Milan. A photo shared on Instagram by the 365 Days star showcased Michele pulling Khloé closer to him, further fueling the romance rumors.
Additional footage captured Khloé and Michele enjoying each other's company at a post-event gathering hosted by D&G.
During our exclusive confirmation, it was clarified that the pair were not romantically involved. Michele's representative stated, "Both of them attended the Dolce & Gabbana show, and the fashion brand requested a photo of them together. He found [Khloé] to be very pleasant. That was the extent of their interaction," in response to the widespread attention their photos received.
Khloé has maintained a low profile regarding her personal life since her separation from Tristan Thompson. The couple, who had an on-again, off-again relationship from 2016 to 2021, have a daughter named True, who is 5 years old, and a son named Tatum, who is 10 months old.
During a previous season, Khloé expressed that she and Tristan, who is 32 years old, are committed to prioritizing their co-parenting responsibilities.
During a June 8 episode of The Kardashians, she expressed that she and Tristan have always had a strong bond and a great friendship. Despite any past issues, she emphasized that she is willing to put everything aside for the sake of their children. She clarified that she has moved on from any past drama and has no intention of punishing Tristan because they are not getting back together.
Reflecting on their current dynamic, the TV personality revealed that they have established clear boundaries with each other. She explained that when she is not around, Tristan is present to take care of their kids, rather than relying on a nanny. However, she made it clear that their interactions are strictly limited to co-parenting and that they do not spend time together alone.
Khloé emphasized the importance of establishing boundaries with Tristan due to their previous history of reconciling after a cheating scandal. She acknowledged that Tristan may have the impression that she will eventually get back with him, so it is her responsibility to set clear boundaries through her actions.
In a previous interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show in April, Khloé confirmed that she has not yet met someone special and is not actively seeking to date at the moment. However, she did not completely rule out the possibility in the future.
