Kim Kardashian apparently has eyes for a younger man.

The 43-year-old recently teamed up with 20-year-old English football player Jude Bellingham for her shapewear company SKIMS, where he modelled for the company as a brand ambassador.

“I’m thrilled to unveil Jude as the face of our new Skims Men’s campaign. He has always been a rising star within the football world but this year he’s truly cemented himself as an icon, and his influence on the next-generation of players and fans is undeniable!” Kardashian said in a statement of the collaboration.

“This is such an exciting time for the brand, and this campaign is another example of Skims’ ability to create global cultural moments, especially within sports,” she added.

The collaboration was a wise marketing move for Kardashian, however, a source disclosed to The Mirror that Bellingham’s relevance in the sports world wasn’t the only reason Kardashian wanted to do business with him.

The insider revealed that Kardashian is giddy over Bellingham’s “looks, style and intelligence,” adding that she is “very excited” to work with him.

“Kim can’t stop talking about how hot Jude is,” they said.

“Getting Jude on board with Skims was a huge deal. He’s one of the hottest properties in the game at the moment, so it’s a major coup for her,” they added.

Meanwhile, Bellingham is reportedly dating 25-year-old Dutch influencer and model Laura Celia Valk. While there are barriers blocking the potential courtship between Kardashian and Bellingham, it doesn’t involve their age difference.

“He lives in Madrid and she’s heard he’s in a relationship, but it’s no secret that if he were to become available, Kim would be there,” the source said, saying that Kardashian would jump on the opportunity to get with Bellingham if he were single.

As for their 23-year age gap, Kardashian is unfazed. She knows that she has been teased for “being a cougar”, but “[she] doesn’t care,” according to the source.

“Jude is hot and she sees nothing wrong with her crush,” the source said.
