There's always relationship drama going on in reality TV shows. Sadly, for Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Kim Kardashian West, this drama has affected her personal life. According to many reports, major problems are going on between Kim and her husband, Kanye West, and their relationship might not survive this time around. If the rumors are to be believed, there's a chance Kanye's wife may end up with Van Jones.
There's no hiding the fact that Kim and Kanye have been distant for a while. In the last year, their relationship has gone from great to not-so-good in a matter of months. Evidently, Kim has not shared any pictures with her rapper husband since November 2020, so fans are aware something is up. With a lack of social support from Kim during her husband's 2020 presidential campaign, it became more clear that the two have completely different ideologies right now. To top it all off, the couple didn't provide any public proof that they spent the holidays together. All this caused many Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans to think Kanye and Kim are going to get divorced soon. This is where the rumors of Van Jones started as well. Van, as many people might know, is a news commentator, author, and lawyer.
Van is 52 years old, but that is not the only reason he's mature. His professional experience includes being a CNN host and the co-founder of many non-profit organizations. This speaks volumes about the man's personality and maturity. Moreover, he is a New York Times bestselling author, suggesting he has a way with words. Since he's a lawyer, it's a given that he must be interested in politics and law, which is something Kim is also interested in. Moreover, Kim and Van have worked together on criminal-justice reform. They helped out a grandmother, Alice Johnson, in 2018 after she was jailed for life for being involved in a Memphis cocaine-trafficking organization.
Although Kim and Kanye are still together, many fans already want Kim and Van to start dating each other. Since they share so many common goals, people are rooting for a relationship between the would-be powerhouse pair. One person said on Twitter (via Sun), "They look good together," and another one wrote, "Kim K dates up, Van Jones would be a perfect match in this political climate."
However, it's not only the fans who said good things about the two. Kim and Van have said good things about each other as well. The SKIMS founder once referred to the man as "the hope that so many people need" via Variety in 2018. E! reports Van also called Kim "brilliant," and said she will make a great lawyer since she is "incredibly persuasive." So, it's not the wildest rumor that the two might date if the Keeping Up With the Kardashians couple Kanye and Kim are truly done.
