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?

A woman I was in college with was about 26 with two young kids when she met her now husband. They married fairly quickly and she now has another two children. I will say though that not only is she probably the most naturally gorgeous woman I've met but is super friendly too, plus she has a great career. It seems like everything just fell into place perfectly for her.

I just googled him. Ugh....not my cup of teeth at all. Very very unattractive ot my eyes. Prue Leith and a puffy eye sound preferable.

Just Googled and I'm with you, don't see the appeal at all!

TheLadyofShalott1 · 09/09/2023 02:56

Another one here who had to google who this "boyfriend" is. He is not my cup of tea, but then he is young enough to be my son, so I am glad I don't find him attractive (but his sort were never my type anyway)!

I do think he is just attractive enough to be called pretty, but above all else he looks like a vampire to me, and I couldn't trust the look in his eyes, or the purse in his lips 😄

By the way, I am no-where near this judgemental in real life as I like to get to actually know at least a little about someone before I have any thoughts about them. I do want to add though, that very occassionally I experience an immediate and visceral dislike to someone, and even more rarely, that can even be from just a photo.

I think this man looks rather selfish and shallow in the photos I saw of him on Google, but then having never watched a programme about the Kardashians, maybe that was just my expectation of them anyway, which makes me look bad, not them. I did see 'a' Jenner - I think - in I'm a Celebrity..., a year or two back, and s/he {sorry I can't remember which pronoun they used} seemed like a reasonably nice person, but again I am showing my true colours by admitting I not only watch IACGMOOH, but I also mostly love it!

However @Justdontforgethelegofrog, having read your more recent posts, I don't think you are really bothered about either him or Kylie...?

FamilyDiabolics · 09/09/2023 03:04

I think you're being unrealistic comparing yourself got Kylie Jenner...

GodDammitCecil · 09/09/2023 03:08

I have no idea who he is, and based on what I’ve gleaned from this thread, I don’t particular want to.

20-something men wanting to take on a step-parenting role will be rarer than hen’s teeth. To be brutally Frank, I’m a 40-something woman, and you couldn’t pay me enough.

He’s clearly not inhibited by the usual reasons other 20-somethings would run screaming from such a scenario.

jugggugg · 09/09/2023 04:10

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

yep

jugggugg · 09/09/2023 04:11

Weird match!

orangeblosssom · 09/09/2023 04:49

YABU

If a billionaire businessMAN was dating an actress, would you be asking why?

This, unfairly maybe, but far too much baggage, for that demographic especially if they are fit, motivated and ambitious. The exceptions prove the rule.

He won't be doing that, though. Kylie is a billionaire - it's hardly comparable to your normal relationship with a single parent.

BarleySugars · 09/09/2023 06:12

This celeblady is living on a whole other planet, it's not comparing like with like.

I managed to meet a sexy, comfortably-off, kind man in my early 30s with child in tow 4yrs ago so don't write us off yet!

Doingmybest12 · 09/09/2023 06:34

Debbie, what first attracted you to millionaire Paul Daniels?

JMSA · 09/09/2023 06:37

Dating with a one year old is tacky and gross. Focus on your baby!

accountpasswordaboutyou · 09/09/2023 06:39

I don’t think it’s that unusual for 2 hot successful, young people to be attracted to each other and not be able to keep their hands of each other while out and a bit pissed 😂. For those saying it’s a bearding arrangement do you mean he’s hers or she’s his?

Turquoisa80 · 09/09/2023 06:44

I'm with OP, he's really attractive, quirky and will only become more handsome. She's super rich and she has a strong family network so she can jump into a relationship easily without worrying about potential fallouts. Normal people have the factor lots of stuff in but tbh lots of people around me (normal Midlands town) go on to find other partners.

Beefcurtains79 · 09/09/2023 06:47

Travis Scott was at the same Beyoncé concert. He’s dumped Kylie again now that his Astroworld controversy has died down and he doesn’t need her help to rebuild his image as a family man.
I imagine this pr stunt with Timothy was to distract from this rather embarrassing parting of ways, and get the cameras and narrative on her at the concert.

Bernadinetta · 09/09/2023 06:55

Do you think Kylie and Timothee will end up together and live a long happy life into dotage?

boboshmobo · 09/09/2023 07:03

He looks horrid to me , each to their own but dating her will massively raise his profile and open doors .

Fawbs89 · 09/09/2023 07:18

Agree he's so strange looking!

MorrisZapp · 09/09/2023 07:20

I don't know what's worse.

Kylie Jenner
Timothee thingy
Prue Leith

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 09/09/2023 07:27

I don't think anyones standards can ever be too high. If they end up alone, is that any worse than compromising on what you want?

I totally agree... when it comes to finding a compatible partner with a great personality, who treats you like an equal and seems like he would be great with your kids. However, if you are a regular person and 'what you want' is a super-hot, celebrity boyfriend like the Kardashians have, then I think you've got daft priorities, a pointless obsession with celebrity gossip and should probably give your head a few good wobbles. High standards over hotness gain you nothing in life!

ShitMermaid · 09/09/2023 07:28

Their relationship is as real as she is.

It's not rocket science, if you are young rich and attractive (even if fake attractive) you have more chances to end up with a young rich and attractive guy. Also her kids will not be considered as "baggage" if she is a billionaire who can pay for childcare, the best schools and all her kids bills on her own. There are plenty of "regular"women with kids that remarry or partner up after a break up and very quickly I would say...

arunciblespoon · 09/09/2023 07:31

I looked up Kylie before and after plastic surgery and they don't look like the same person at all

Tonightsthenight91 · 09/09/2023 07:32

Hottest men? Eh?

OP it’s really not out of reach for you. I’ve been with my lovely DP 12 years we have two kids, I love him dearly. But believe me I’d have no problem finding another attractive/wealthy man. Men try it on all the time. Persistently too. I decline (obviously) and sometimes show my screensaver of me and my DP. One has even gone to extreme lengths to find where I work and send me flowers when I’ve told him I’m not interested.

BELIEVE ME - you’ll find someone easily! They’re like dogs in heat 🤢
