Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian is being linked to another former Los Angeles Lakers player, Rick Fox. The basketball star was spotted having dinner with Khloe on Thursday last week. The small outing has caused media outlets to speculate on the nature of the pair’s relationship.

Kardashian and Fox were seen arriving separately at Casa Vega restaurant in Sherman Oaks California. They came in very late at 11:45 p.m. and according to a report by E! News, they dined at the Mexican joint until around 1:30 a.m.

The little date night sparked speculations about a budding relationship between the two celebrities. However, in a video posted by X17online from that evening, Fox told a paparazzo that “Khloe is a good friend.” As she was leaving the restaurant, Kardashian was also asked some questions by the paparazzo but she didn’t respond. She kept her head down and quietly got in her car before driving away.

Fox is a former player of the Los Angeles Lakers just like Kardashian’s ex-husband, Lamar Odom. Kardashian was married to Odom for four years before filing for divorce in December 2013. Now a year and a half later, the divorce has not been finalised but Khloe has already been linked on-and-off to Moroccan rapper French Montana.

After getting together last spring in a relationship that lasted throughout the previous summer, they have gone on-an-off. The current status of their relationship is unknown. Anytime Kardashian is spotted out with someone even a long time friend like The Game, speculations of a possible romantic link come out. The latest subject of these speculations is Fox. It remains to be seen if anything actually comes out of this particular date night.

Fox is a former basketball star who has also delved in some reality TV. He joined “Dancing With the Stars” back in season 11. Before being linked to Khloe, Fox was last reported to be seeing actress AnnaLynne McCord. According to a report by the Inquistr, he was previously married to Vanessa Williams back in 1999-2004.
