Kim Kardashian linked to CNN star, plus more celeb love news | Gallery

Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at the stars who found love, suffered heartbreak or experienced some other major event in their love lives in late April 2021, starting with this unexpected duo… Back in January, there were unsubstantiated rumors circulating online that Kim Kardashian and Van Jones had taken their relationship to the next level amid her split from Kanye West. On April 25, those rumors remerged thanks to Page Six‘s Cindy Adams, who cryptically wrote in her gossip column, “A new burble’s coming out of the Kim Kardashian klub. Throats are clearing after whispering the name Van Jones.” She added that the CNN contributor, who’s been friends with the reality star for years, “knows folk who’ll quickly shut their tongues if his name is even breathed in connection” with hers. “I will not wait while everybody tells me I don’t know what I’m talking about,” she concluded on the subject. While her analysis should certainly be taken with a hefty grain of salt, it’s worth noting that Page Six did, in fact, break the news that divorce was “imminent” for Kim and Kanye earlier this year. Is it possible she’s on to something? Not according to multiple Radar sources. One insider said Van “is aware of the rumors and is flattered” and “loving all the attention and buzz,” but that ultimately, Kim “just isn’t his type.” Echoed a second Radar source, “He has enormous respect for Kim and what she has done to reform the criminal justice system, but he doesn’t want to be part of her circus of reality TV crews and social media. Van takes himself very seriously.” Said a third source, “He is a total media snob and is more interested in The New York Times than E! and Bravo. He likes Kim but has zero interest in becoming part of her tabloid world. Plus, he knows that anyone that dates Kim also has to date her entire family. It’s a hard pass from Van.” Yet another insider said that the mother of three “likes” Van because he’s “smart and stable,” “has his own money and fame” and “is a good man,” but she’s “focused on herself” and not on “getting a man” right now.

Here we go again… On April 19, Us Weekly reported that, according to a source, Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell were “on non-speaking terms” in the wake of reports that amid their reconciliation, she caught him getting close to another woman. Just four days later, however, they were seen together in the Los Angeles area. Over the course of the next few days, there were multiple sightings of the off-and-on duo in various parts of Southern California. According to an E! News source, Matt “initiated the visit” because he “felt horrible about what went down with him and Rachael recently and wanted to see her.” She was reportedly “very skeptical” about giving the former star of “The Bachelor” another shot but ultimately “cares about Matt and wanted to hear what he had to say.” Explained the insider, “They aren’t back together, but [they] definitely still have feelings [for each other]. They are having a good time right now and everything feels back to normal between them.” A few days after that, Matt told People magazine that he’s “seen Rachael a handful of times” and is “not pursuing any relationships right now outside of that.” Added the reality star, “I said I was going to focus on my relationship with her and that means focusing on it.”

People magazine reported on April 21 that, according to a source, in the past, Scott Disick has “struggled” with and “been jealous” of Kourtney Kardashian’s relationships with other men — but “he is struggling even more” now that Travis Barker is in the picture. “Before Travis, Kourtney’s relationships were never serious. It was more like flings. With Travis, it’s different,” said the source. “Scott was pretty shocked when he found out that they are dating, and he can tell that they have moved very quickly. His kids love Travis, which is also hard for Scott. Kourtney and Travis are like a family with the kids. Scott is having a hard time with this situation.” The insider added that the father of three “has many regrets” regarding his relationship with Kourtney. “He knows that he messed up their relationship and let her down. For a long time, he still hoped that they would end up back together,” the source said. Meanwhile, Scott has been dating 19-year-old model Amelia Gray Hamlin since late 2020. Their relationship is reportedly “serious.”
