"I've kept you all up to date on my relationship with Kenny, which is now, shockingly, been an entire month," King announced.

"I would've broken up with me if I were him," King remarked.

"Even though I was just upset about something, I just really let my inner child come out in a big way."

She added that the best part about dating her friend is that "Kenny" was understanding and patient with her after the "freak out" moment.

"I later apologized, but the great thing about dating a friend is he was like, 'Look babe, we're good. It's fine. It's all good.' Very healthy. It's a nice change of pace for me. Everything's fine. Everything's going smoothly."

The dating update comes after her split with President Biden’s nephew, Cuffe Biden Owens.

King and Owens split in December 2021 after two months of marriage.
