Houston Rockets star James Harden may be a player in hard-court but never in terms of his relationship with Khloe Kardashian, as reports confirmed that the 26-year-old basketball player did not sleep with another girl.

Radar Online said the couple has been recently fighting over James' "unfaithfulness."

"[James and Khloe] had a terrible fight after [she] confronted him and demanded the truth about who he's been seeing behind her back," a source told Radar Online.

Apparently, through Khloe's innate investigative skills, she found out that the woman James has allegedly been seeing is a Philadelphia-based stripper named Nelly Wit Da Jelly. The report said the 31-year-old Kardashian found it out after she saw a picture of James sitting next to the stripper's bed and the stripper had the guts to post it on Instagram.

10 minutes after fans identified that the man was indeed James, the photo disappeared from Nelly Wit Da Jelly's cyberspace. The next thing that happened? Khloe allegedly "flipped out".

"James really put [Khloe] in her place - she was the one calling all the shots, but she doesn't know what she wants. One week she wants his baby, the next she's having second thoughts about Lamar, then she wants to be exclusive, then she doesn't, he has no idea where he stands with her, nor is he the kind of guy who likes drama around him," the source said.

But according to a Hollywood Life report, a source who is very close to the basketball star blasted rumors of Harden sleeping with the stripper.

"James is focused on making his relationship [with Khloe] work," said the source. Hollywood Life also reports that James has his eyes focused only on two things: his basketball career and his growing relationship with Khloe.

The source also said that apart from the things that keep James busy, he has no other time "to add the drama of other women in his life."

And even though third-party rumors, cheating and infidelity are a common thing in the NBA lifestyle, the source added that James is hardly "partaking in it at all". Therefore, there is no room for strippers, side chicks, and groupies in James' life.

"He knows so many eyes are on him," the source told Hollywood Life. "From his own celebrity and being in the Kardashian world. He doesn't want to end up being the next 'Tiger Woods.' He is loyal," the source added.
