Khloé Kardashian might have just made an unexpected love connection!
The Good American founder, 41, nearly broke the internet earlier this week when she left a flirtatious comment on an Instagram post by a man named Jacob Myers-Norys, who shared a video listing facts about himself. Based in Santa Cruz, Calif., he explained that he is a former athlete-turned-full-time teacher with a master’s degree, Italian roots and a passion for cooking.
“somewhere out there is the woman who’s gonna ask how my school day was🥺,” he captioned it, prompting Kardashian to cleverly reply, “How was your day??”
The video has garnered over 3 million views, and Kardashian’s comment has nearly 15,000 likes.
Fans quickly showed their support for the pairing, replying to Kardashian with words of encouragement, with one user writing, “Shoot your shot Ms. Khloe! 😉🔥🫶🏼.”
“yes girl! Get your Italian stallion,” another quipped.
On Wednesday, Dec. 10, Myers-Norys reacted to his post going viral and Kardashian’s interest in him, telling TMZ, “My entire town knows about it. My students keep bugging me about it. My group chat’s just been non-stop. I figured, ‘Why not shoot my shot?’ ”
He even revealed that he will be in Los Angeles for the holidays and would “absolutely love” to catch up with the reality star.

In the first episode of her Khloé in Wonder Land podcast at the beginning of the year, Kardashian opened up about her love life as a single mom to daughter True, 7, and son Tatum, 3, whom she shares with ex Tristan Thompson — during a conversation with Scott Disick.
“I feel like my kids are… yes, mine are younger than yours, but they’re just my top priority,” she said. “And I don’t care about dating. I don’t know what will happen in a couple years or next year, I don’t know.”
She continued, “But I’m not dating, I don’t care to. My focus is on just my kids. But I think if I wasn’t in my situation, I’d be like, ‘You’re so full of s—.’ But I totally get it and to me, I think it’s the smartest thing.”
Disick, who shares daughter Penelope, 13, and sons Mason, 15, and Reign, 10, with ex Kourtney Kardashian Barker, also said he wanted his attention to go toward his kids for the next “five, six, seven years.”
“I mean, I feel like in eight years, you and I both will find someone,” Kardashian noted before adding, “Isn’t it so hard to date now? I think it’s so different.”
