Khloe Kardashian has been seen around Las Vegas with another man and it's not Lamar Odom!

Last weekend, Khloe Kardashian headed to Las Vegas to celebrate the Fourth of July with NBA superstar James Harden and his famous beard.

James Edward Harden Jr. is a pro basketball player for the Houston Rockets. According to his National Basket Association (NBA) bio, he is 25 years old and started his NBA career in 2009. 

TMZ reported that the two "looked very couple-y" and were "snuggling side by side" during dinner at Red 8, a restaurant at Wynn, a luxury hotel in Las Vegas.

The couple was also spotted at the Encore Beach Club in Wynn, Las Vegas.

"They were at the beach club yesterday snacking on chicken fingers and fries, salads and fruit," an unnamed source told E Online.  "Rick Fox and Jermaine Dupri joined them at their cabana."

However, the source reported that Khloe and the Houston Rockets player were only friends and were just there to have fun.

"They were bouncing around to all their friends honestly," the source said. "They sat next to each other and talked for a bit but they were more there to have fun it seemed!"

According to The Daily Mail, Khloe is still legally married to Lamar Odom. The younger Kardashian sister filed for divorce in December 2013, citing infidelity and drug abuse on Odom's side; but since the petition has not moved forward, KK is not single per se.

Khloe's last romantic relationship was with French Montana. They reportedly dated on-and-off from 2014 to March 2015, according to People.

But just why are they not together now? She opened up about her relationship with Montana during an episode of "Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons" last year.

"It's nothing against French. I just think I don't want a boyfriend," she explained, as quoted by US Weekly. "I jumped into something because I was just, like, lonely and destructive. But now I'm like, I just want to be alone," she told sister Kourtney and Scott Disick.

Disick told Khloe that she needed to grieve her old marriage to Odom and the latter agreed.

"I really do like French," Kourtney said in confessional. "I think that Khloe has a lot of fun with him. But I think that Khloe did rush into a relationship really quickly."

Khloe admitted that she was put off by Montana's clinginess even though she was always entertained by him during times they were together.

"There's highs and lows in every relationship," she shared during the episode. "I have no idea why French calls me 5,000 times a day."
