How many 26 year old mums of two small children find super hot boyfriends like Kardashian's?

I'm not judging, mum shaming etc
The idea that Kylie Jenner has bagged one of the hottest men, in terms of popularity and talent as well, is making me slightly more envious than is normal. She has a 5 year old and 1 year old.
I am a young single mum of two and I'm currently watching baking shows with a huge infected puffy eye on my Friday night. No child free time. No way of dating as I just have no fricking time.
I don't for a minute think she's doing something wrong or that she should be staying in with a puffy eye and Prue Leith. However I do think it is unrealistic for most people and could suggest to young women that it's easy to move on and start again.
Meeting someone in your late twenties or early thirties who is ready to accept two kids is daunting. Men are either terrified, creepy or predatory. There's no Timothee's out there for me. I would have to settle, which I'm not prepared to do. It is almost impossible to find someone intelligent and ambitious who would consider a mum of two. Other than that it's all cocklodgers.

Can I fume at Kylie just a bit?

Why would you bother to care what she does? She’ll introduce a string of unsuitable men to her children and damage them emotionally, I imagine……

I don't know if I agree with that, friends I've had who have introduced men and moved them in have generally done so to help with paying bills. Kylie presumably won't have that problem.

YABU for making me Google who Kylie Jenner is dating 😖.

OK well to set your mind at ease this is very definitely a bearding arrangement.

In the event that she does find some lovely boyfriend who is hot and has money behind him then it's because their money gives them a lifestyle that brings nannies, housekeepers etc so they never have to argue about the nursery run or emptying the dishwasher. Then they divorce after 4 years as they don't live in the real world and, connected to that, are funked up.

You're better off comparing yourself to snow White and hoping for dwarves in the woods. More realistic.

*fucked up..

Obvs

BathingBeauty · 08/09/2023 23:58

I imagine she has very little to do with the day to day care of them.

Me too.
Hot you say? 🤔

Doingtheboxerbeat · 09/09/2023 00:00

Those two are mad together - absolutely no way they're dating dating.

@Doingtheboxerbeat maybe he just wanted contouring tips

If he's what's hot these days, I'm getting real old...

AnneKipankitoo · 09/09/2023 00:03

Do they have the same agent ?

That's what tiktok is for, plus he definitely doesn't need it.

Good question.

Mumdiva99 · 09/09/2023 00:06

Hmmmm, after googling Kylie and finding out she is one of the most followed women on Instagram and that her net worth was estimated at millions of dollars......and you wonder where she finds men? Or rather finds time to find me n. ...... I imagine he found her... .

Seddon · 09/09/2023 00:06

She's a billionaire isn't she?

But I'm not convinced any of these relationships are actually real anyway.

Completely agree but it is so bizarre, there is absolutely no way they could even come across like an “opposites attract” couple. It’s such an obvious PR arrangement, I can’t work out why their PR teams have bothered. It’s 2023, not 1993!

TomatoSandwiches · 09/09/2023 00:12

She doesn't look 26 op and I'm pretty sure it's all an arrangement of some kind like most of LA high profile relationships.

BananaSlug · 09/09/2023 00:15

It’s not hard really is it ? She’s rich and beautiful of course she won’t struggle. Personally I don’t find him attractive but do you really expect she would struggle to find someone?

I have never understood 'stunt' relationships, they're so weird to me.

Lavender14 · 09/09/2023 00:19

I think it's unrealistic to compare yourself to her in any way. She's got a fairly infinite resource to lean back on, family who presumably will help with childcare and if they don't she can afford nannies and help with the children as well as with the cooking / housework/ general life admin that the rest of us need to do independently. I'm not saying she doesn't work hard, I imagine she does, but she has a lot more help available to give her the free time she wants to focus on dating or working or whatever that looks like. Meanwhile most of the rest of us are deciding whether it's more cost effective to stay in work or take a career break to provide our own childcare.

I think the dating pool as you get older is more complex anyway because most people come with baggage of some kind by late twenties early thirties which isn't always a bad thing, but it means you need to spend a bit more time figuring people out.

BeardieWeirdie · 09/09/2023 00:19

She’s gone from looking like a perfectly normal teen to resembling Michael Jackson. Yikes.

I think it will completely backfire on TC. He will lose the art house crowd. This is Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddles all over again.

I have no interest in celebrities but you've made me google too.

I don't understand in this day and age why a beard arrangement is necessary and she is such a bizarre match for him.
