James Harden And Khloé Kardashian's Relationship Was Short-Lived (But Still Messy)

Anyone who dates a Kardashian (or Jenner) has to have a healthy tolerance for public curiosity. James Harden, however, spoke with Sports Illustrated and claimed he didn’t appreciate all of the extra attention dating Khloé Kardashian introduced into his life. “I didn’t like all the attention,” said Harden. “I feel like it was for no reason. I wasn’t getting anything out of it except my name out there and my face out there, and I don’t need that. It wasn’t uncomfortable, but it wasn’t me.” He continued, “I don’t need pictures of myself when I’m driving my car. Who cares? What shoes am I wearing? Who cares? Where am I eating? Who cares? It was unnecessary stuff that I think trickled down to my teammates. I had to eliminate that.”

It’s important to mention, however, that while Harden’s comments make it sound like he broke up with Khloe, various reports claim otherwise. For example, Us Weekly reported that Kardashian was the one who decided to end their relationship. “[Khloe] dumped [James] weeks ago,” shared a source. People also positioned Kardashian as the heartbreaker. Assuming these reports are accurate, then Kardashian’s version of events is even more believable.
