Khloe Kardashian and rapper French Montana, who have been dating for eight months, have reportedly called it quits because the 29-year-old musician was reportedly needy and dependent on her.
A source told Us Weekly: “They are on a break. The relationship got too heavy and Khloe needed to take a step back.”
Another insider added: “It grated on her that he became so dependent on her.”
News of the couple’s reported split comes just one month after French praised Khloe, 30, for being so down to earth.
He said: “That’s my Koko. She’s a real cool down to earth person. I don’t think a lot of people get to meet her to find that out.”
But he refused to support speculation that he was only dating her to boost his own profile, which was reportedly the thoughts of Khloe’s sister Kim Kardashian West and step-father Bruce Jenner.
He said: “I don’t look at it like that. She’s the funniest person ever.”
In July, French was said to be so smitten with Khloe – who filed for divorce from her husband of four years Lamar Odom in December following allegations he cheated and took drugs – that he was preparing to propose to the brunette beauty.
French appeared on “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” last season and will be seen on the forthcoming season of “Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons.”
