Khloé Kardashian thinks French Montana is a ''softie''.

The 30-year-old star - who filed for divorce from ex-husband Lamar Odom in December - has been dating the 29-year-old rapper since April and admits there's a private side to him that people haven't seen before.

Speaking on Angie Martinez's Power 105 radio show yesterday (24.07.14), she gushed: ''He's probably one of the funniest people I've ever met in my life. You cannot stop laughing [around him]. Like, crying laughing. I think he's a little bit of [everything], but I think people definitely don't get to see the great parts of him.

''He puts out more of the tough exterior, that's who he is. But there's also a different side of him. He could be a softie sometimes. [But] I've learned from my past that you've gotta keep some things more private and a little more close to your heart.''

The couple were first introduced to each other through mutual friend Diddy - whose real name is Sean Combs - after spending some time in the studio and they have flaunted their romance on social media sites ever since.

However, the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star - who split from Lamar last year after he allegedly cheated on her - insists she doesn't care what people think of her and French's new relationship.

She said: ''People are gonna comment no matter what. If I dated the most clean-cut, perfect guy they're gonna comment. So if I'm having fun and dating this kid...they're not f**king him, so why should they care?''
