Los Angeles, Sep 12 (IANS): Khloe Kardashian and her boyfriend Karim Kharbouch, known by his stage name French Montana, have parted ways after the rap musician got too "needy" for the reality TV star.

Khloe, known for her reality show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”, started dating the 29-year-old eight months ago, but they are not together anymore.

Eonline.com reports that Khloe officially broke things off with French, who is having trouble with the split and "won't really accept it."

The source added that Khloe grew weary of his "needy, obsessive" behavior and she slowly began distancing herself.

The two are still in contact and French, 29, is trying to save their romance, "but eventually they will be totally broken up," the source added. "For all intents and purposes, Khloé is single again."

The source says that the breakup has nothing to do with reports that French may have been using Khloé's fame to boost sales of his recently released album. "That stuff never bothered her because she doesn't care what people think. She's just decided to move on," said the source.

Despite splitting up romantically "Khloe thinks he's a great guy but it just wasn't working out."

She started dating Montana after separating from husband Lamar Odom last December.
