The second episode of KoKo's new podcast Khloé in Wonder Land dropped on Wednesday via X.

In it, the Kardashians star was joined by life coach and author Jay Shetty for an earnest convo about love.

The 40-year-old Good American founder explained that, despite the difficult times her exes Tristan Thompson and Lamar Odom put her through, she is not "ashamed" of her past.

Speaking of her most recent ex Tristan, Khloé revealed that they "aren't together anymore – but we co-parent really, really well."

The mom of two went on, saying, "I've chosen to not [date] because I genuinely don't want to. Right now, I'm not dating because my relationship with my kids [is] everything to me... where I am in my life right now, I just really want to nurture this love, and I just want to be as present as I can. I don't want any distractions right now in my life."

"I had to deal with a lot of trauma to get to this point... We were talking about the beginning: don't discredit the things that brought you to this journey, because even though I wouldn't wish on anyone what I went through romantically, I'm also not ashamed of anything I went through romantically," she continued.

"I also think it's one of my superpowers that I went through those things, and I still have such a softness for love and for life... It made me better."

Khloé is still open to finding romantic love down the line, however!

"If I meet someone in two months, two years and I fall in love, great, but I'm not actively on the dating scene, searching for someone, and I'm so happy. I feel so fulfilled," she gushed.

"I also love that I've taken about three years off of dating, and I feel like I've really got to know myself on a deeper level. It's that thing about avoidance or distracting."

The reality star is doing all of this with the hope that her next love will be her "forever partner" and someone who she wants to have around her kids and family.

At the end of the day, Khloé says that she still believes in happily ever afters: "I am one of those hopeless romantics, and I love the fairy tale and the fantasy, regardless of what's ever happened to me, I'm always going to be that girl."
