Kim Kardashian got her cupid on, attempting to set up her sister Khloe on a date with a Netflix star.
Following her separation with on-again, off-again boyfriend Tristan Thompson at the end of 2021 – when it was revealed that he had secretly fathered a child with Maralee Nichols – the mom-of-two hasn’t had the easiest time in the relationship department.
In the most recent episode of the Kardashians, her sibling was shown plotting to change her fortunes, organising a meet-and-greet with 365 Days actor Michele Morrone during her Dolce & Gabbana fashion show in Italy last September, in a moment that instantly went viral at the time.
‘All the cute guys will be at the afterparty of the fashion show,’ the 42-year-old told her pals. ‘So we’ll have dinner with them and Michele Morrone will be there.
‘Khloe is gonna die. Khloe is gonna be so excited. This guy has no idea we’re doing a whole episode about him. Poor guy.
‘He’s so hot. He’s in this show, it’s soft porn practically. So let’s fully set this up that Khloe falls in love in Milan, but she has no idea.’
In a confessional, Kim described the program as ‘super romantic, hot and sexual’ show, declaring that Michele is the ‘hottest guy’.
‘I am such a setter-upper,’ she said. ‘My plan for Khloe is to get her mojo back in Milan.’
The comment left her sibling baffled as Khloe added to the camera: ‘I didn’t know I lost my mojo but I guess Kim definitely thinks I did.
‘So we need to find that somewhere.’
The couple can be seen meeting for the first time in the teaser for next week’s show, and the Good American designer added, “I think he’s extremely hot.” He’s a guy, and I appreciate a nice man.’
When photos of Khloe and Michele appearing cosy at the party last year surfaced, many speculated whether they were dating.
The actor’s representatives quickly shot off the rumours, stating that there was no connection between them.
‘Dolce and Gabbana asked them to take a photo at the show,’ they told People Magazine at the time.
‘Michele said she was very nice, and that was the extent of it.’
‘She just met him in Milan that night,’ an insider added. ‘They are not dating. She has no plans to see him again.’
The Kardashians airs on in the US and is available to stream on Disney+ in the UK.
