Khloe Kardashian was reportedly urged to slow things down with Los Angeles Dodgers' Matt Kemp until her divorce to Lamar Odom is finalized. According to Showbiz Spy, the 29-year-old reality star was warned that jumping into a relationship so quick after filing for divorce wouldn't look good and she should put the romance on the back burner for the time being.

"Khloe told Matt it would look bad for her divorce to be dating so soon," a source said.

"So they have to put on the brakes until it's finalized," the source continued. "She wants it to remain clear that Lamar was the cheater. Matt understood. Khloe is figuring things out with Matt. She thinks he's great."

Slowing things down is probably exactly what Kemp wanted to hear. Sources told Hollywood Life that the baseball player is having second thoughts about a pursuing a relationship with Kardashian because he's a "shy" and private guy. Reportedly he isn't comfortable with his personal life being in the spotlight.

"He's low-key and sticks to himself and is not all out there in the media," the source said. "He doesn't care about all the extras that comes with being around one of the Kardashians."

"He's a real humble and shy guy," the source added. "All the other stuff - people talking about you and paparazzi being in his face when he's out in public - he's not that type of guy."

Since filing for divorce Kardashian and Kemp have been spotted several times together. The same day she filed the papers ending her four-year marriage to Odom, she was photographed going to the gym with Kemp. According to Radar Online the two also attended a Jay Z concert and John Legend concert together and the athlete was a guest at Kris Jenner's annual Christmas party.

When asked about the romance rumors, Kemp said he and Kardashian were only friends and he thought she had a cool family.
