Kim Kardashian seemed to show interest in Luka Dončić, the Slovenian basketball star for the Los Angeles Lakers, on Instagram. However, the NBA player, 25, didn’t seem to reciprocate, prompting some Reddit users to label the 44-year-old SKIMS mogul’s comment as “cringe” and “embarrassing.”
After the NBA team revealed Dončić’s signing on Instagram, a screenshot that surfaced on social media showed the Kardashians star commenting under the post, “I want to learn how to speak Slovenian,” along with a lip–biting emoji. The athlete then replied, “No, please don’t.” The screenshot of the cringe-worthy incident has triggered a massive response from fans on Reddit, according to Express U.S.

Kim Kardashian Raises Eyebrows With NBA Player Instagram Comment—Fans Call It 'Embarrassing for Her'
One user wrote on the social media platform: ""I'm dead IS THIS FR?" as another explained: "yes 100% real but Kim Bully deleted the comment right after." One other noted: "Omg did she really??!! Lol that makes it even more embarrassing for her!" Someone else added: "The way Luka said "no" straight up lmao."
Although Kardashian might be single, one other user in the thread stressed that Dončić (who is engaged to model Anamaria Goltes), is not. "HE HAS A FIANCE!" they stressed. An additional user replied: "He’s also 25 lol," pointing out how Kardashian is 19 years older than Dončić. The newcomer to the Lakers also shares a 1-year-old daughter, Gabriela, with his fiancé.
Kardashian, whose divorce from ex Kanye West was finalized two years ago, shares four children with the "Runaway" rapper, 47, including daughter North, 11, son Saint, 8, daughter Chicago, 6, and son Psalm, 5. In the trailer for Hulu’s sixth season of The Kardashians, a significant highlight is the SKKN founder hinting at a new romantic interest.
In one of the clips, she mentions she is seeing someone new and appears quite serious about this relationship even talking about the closet space for this person in her home. The reality star also notably says: “I had the intention of staying single. I was fully lying to you guys. Me not dating, and not wanting love and attention? I don’t think you know me.”

Following the finalization of her divorce from West in 2022 and a brief romance with comedian Pete Davidson that same year, Kardashian was last rumored to be involved with Odell Beckham Jr., NFL wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, starting in September 2023. Kardashian was last publicly seen with the athlete, 32, in March 2024, though some fans speculate that their relationship may still be ongoing.
In one scene from the buzzing aforementioned trailer, Kardashian discusses her intention to enlarge her home, emphasizing the inclusion of more closet space. Extending her arms to indicate the space, she says: "To here, I make a whole ‘his’ closet." Her mother Kris Jenner responds by saying: "You must really like him." In the trailer (that was dropped on January 17th), Kardashian then says: "He'll be happy."
In October 2024, a source informed People that Kardashian's hectic schedule leaves her no time for dating. "She’s not even dating anyone now. It’s all about work and the kids," the tipster dished. The insider added: "Although she has help, it’s still a lot of work for her to balance and coordinate everything."
When it comes to her love life, Kardashian hasn't shared much since her breakup with Davidson, 31. However, she did discuss the topic during a 2023 appearance on Jay Shetty's podcast, On Purpose with Jay Shetty.
At the time, she said: "I think I’ll always be a hopeless romantic and always want to be in love and definitely love sharing my life with someone, and love creating a life with someone."
She went on: "I definitely will take my time. And I think there’s so many factors, especially when you have kids and being mindful of people that enter in your life." Kardashian also noted: "I’m really content. My babies make me happy, my family, my life. You know, experiences make me happy."
