Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom Divorce New Update 2014: Is Reality Star Dating NBA Player Robin Lopez?
Khloé Kardashian and Robin Lopez have finally addressed their recent dating claims.
Last week, New York Daily News reported that the reality star is "on the hunt for a new man," following her breakup from rapper boyfriend French Montana, and has set her eyes on the Portland Trail Blazers center.
The publication also advised the NBA player to "Take note, Robin: The last time a Kardashian drafted an NBA player as a boyfriend, she divorced him after 72 days," clearly referring to Kim Kardashian's infamous split from the Washington Wizards' Kris Humphries.
While Lopez remained quiet, Kardashian reportedly denied their rumored romance immediately. According to Gossip Cop, a Twitter user posted a link to the article along with the following message, "Yo @RoLopez42 run for your life."
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star replied: "Please ... Stop with the trash rumors. NEXT!!"
The Twitter user also insisted that he had not written the article. "U must have believed it in order to report it and tell me to 'stay away.' I hate when people assume instead of asking a question," Kardashian tweeted back in annoyance. "I'm sure he's a great guy but I don't know him. Have a great day."
Prior to his team's game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Dec. 20, Robin Lopez broke his silence about the recent rumors. "You know, I'm not exactly certain of the veracity of those rumors, but what I can comment on, I suppose, is the fabrication of that power couple by the press," he told Forward Center.
"Obviously they were looking for two people with a lot of influence on popular culture, on the youth, and they were looking for two movers and shakers," he continued. "Frankly, I'm not surprised they came up with my name."
Lopez then sarcastically added that he is willing to try out the fabulous lifestyle that goes together with dating a Kardashian: "I've got a lot more free time for magazine shoots, guest hosting duties on TV shows and stuff. They can contact my agent if they want to. I'm also the associate video guy. That's one of my new duties. Got a wealth of opportunities even though I've only got one hand right now."
