Kim Kardashian‘s best friend Jonathan Cheban weighed in on the idea of her walking down the aisle for the fourth time.
Cheban, 52, shared a hilarious take on the possibility of Kardashian, 45, tying the knot with her new F1 megastar boyfriend Lewis Hamilton, 41 while attending Vulture’s Virtual Reality Masterminds celebration at The Lawn Club in New York on Thursday.
When asked whether marriage was in the cards for the SKIMS founder, Cheban playfully rolled his eyes, telling the Daily Mail, ‘Oh God, I will not go there. I’ve been through two. This is it. I’m stopping while I’m ahead.’
The reality TV star – who also goes by his food-reviewer alter ego Food God – went on to say that Kardashian and Hamilton are a ‘gorgeous couple.’
‘They fit perfectly. They’re like a good yin and yang,’ he said, adding, ‘I met [Hamilton] a while ago. They’re both very cool. Very fashionable.’
The mom-of-four was previously married three times: first to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2003, followed by her infamous 72-day marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries in 2011, and most recently to Kanye West, whom she was married to from 2014 until 2022.

Kardashian has been dating F1 megastar boyfriend Lewis Hamilton, 41, for the past six months; The two seen in 2021
She shares kids North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, eight, and Psalm, six, with West.
Earlier this week Kardashian and Hamilton – who have been dating for the past six months – were seen holding hands in public for the very first time.
The reality superstar and the race car driver were pictured leaving the Broadway play The Fear Of 13 starring Adrien Brody.
The two have known each other for over 10 years, but only became romantic in November.
They spent New Year’s Eve together in Aspen with friends then in early February they were seen on a weekend trip in Europe.
They were reportedly spotted in the Cotswolds and later travelled from the UK to Paris.
That same month, they made a public appearance together side by side in a VIP booth at the Super Bowl.
In early March, they enjoyed a luxurious trip together in Utah, and at the end of the month, the pair traveled to Tokyo alongside Kardashian’s kids.
When asked whether marriage was in the cards for the pair, Cheban playfully rolled his eyes, telling the Daily Mail, ‘Oh God, I will not go there. I’ve been through two. This is it. I’m stopping while I’m ahead’

They were also seen together at Coachella and shopping for furniture in Los Angeles.
In late April the duo were seen kissing and hugging each other while paddle boarding in Malibu.
In 2024, Kardashian said that she’s not sure if she’ll ever get married again.
‘There’ll be moods where I’m just like, “You know what? I understand my life is really big and I understand it takes a really, really, really special, unique person to want to deal with that,”‘ she said on SiriusXM’s This Life of Mine with James Corden podcast.
‘I think my life is really fun and whoever comes in my life will have a really good time, but it’s a lot.’
‘I’m not lonely, so I’m good. I have my kids, I have work, I have my family, but it would be nice to share your life with someone, but when you do, it’s such a big [commitment], I don’t take that lightly,’ she added.
Kardashian is certainly not lonely, thanks to her tight-knit circle of friends, which includes Cheban, whom she has known for nearly two decades.
In January she gave an update on their friendship, while appearing on her sister’s podcast Khloe in Wonder Land, after some fans questioned why they were no longer seen together.
‘I love Jonathan. We should call him,’ Kardashian said, adding, ‘Jonathan and I are good. Here’s the thing, I had kids.’
‘It’s really hard to maintain friendships when you have kids and you’re like in it,’ said the reality TV icon.
She continued: ‘Jonathan is not going to come and sit around Calabasas all day. He’s like always on the move.’
Khloe then said: ‘Especially when someone else doesn’t have kids. It’s not like you can do play dates with your kids. I get that — and we love Jonathan. There’s so much history there.’
Cheban said in March: ‘People post me in things and people say that Kim and I aren’t friends anymore and it’s so funny to watch this stuff ’cause we are friends and we talk all the time,’ he told Us Weekly.

‘I see all these things that pop up and that’s how I know if I’m on [episodes of The Kardashians] or not.’
Cheban said he and Kardashian are ‘absolutely’ still close even if they keep their bond out of the public eye. ‘We’re going to be friends forever — and it’s fun,’ he said.
‘I mean, she’s got so many kids and so many things to do and I’m all the way on this coast, so it’s like, yeah, we don’t see each other as much, but we talk all the time and anything happens that I feel like we should discuss, we just send it right away.’
Cheban used to make regular appearances with the star on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
In 2010, he starred in his own reality show, The Spin Crowd, chronicling the lives of Cheban, Simon Huck and their employees at his firm.
In January 2016, Cheban entered the Celebrity Big Brother 17 house in the U.K., to compete as a housemate on its 17th season.
