Kim Kardashian sparks rumors with major home renovation amid new romance

Kim Kardashian may be making big changes in both her personal life and her living space.
According to reports from SheKnows and the Daily Mail, the reality star is rumored to be in a new relationship, and it seems to be serious enough that it might be influencing a major renovation at her $60 million mansion in Hidden Hills, California.
Sources say Kim is adding an entirely new wing to her luxurious home. This new section will reportedly include several large rooms and even a “his closet,” which has many fans speculating that she’s preparing to share her home with someone special. Although Kim hasn’t confirmed anything publicly, her actions have sparked plenty of rumors online.
In a recent teaser for an episode of The Kardashians, Kim jokingly admitted that her earlier claims of wanting to stay single weren’t entirely true. She said that pretending she didn’t want love or attention was misleading, hinting that she had already started seeing someone new at the time. In the same teaser, her mother, Kris Jenner, reacted with surprise when Kim mentioned wanting to create a closet just for her mystery man, saying, “You must really like him.”
While the identity of Kim’s new partner has not been officially revealed, there are several rumors. Some fans believe she might be romantically linked to celebrity photographer Mert Alas, who was seen getting close to her during a recent SKIMS party. Meanwhile, Page Six previously reported in December 2024 that Kim was dating a real estate investor who stays out of the spotlight. That relationship also appeared to be serious, though the man’s name was not shared.
The Hidden Hills mansion where Kim is making these upgrades is already well known. She and her former husband Kanye West originally bought the house in 2014 for around $20 million. Since then, Kim has taken full ownership of the property and continues to expand and personalize it. According to Architectural Digest, the mansion is just one of several homes she owns, which include a ranch nearby, a Calabasas condo, and a Malibu beachfront house.
With whispers of a new relationship and such a significant renovation underway, fans are eager to see if Kim will soon introduce her new partner to the world.
