Khloe Kardashian is not bothered by rumored new boyfriend French Montana's self-admitted "hustler" background, and feels he's a better man for having had the experiences, according to HollywoodLife.com.

Lamar Odom's estranged wife also believes Montana "can actually teach her a lot about life," the website reports, adding that the couple seems to be growing closer with each passing day.

Lamar Odom, Khloe Kardashian break up rumors

"Khloe is the least judgmental person this world has ever seen," a source told HollywoodLife. "Whatever French has done in the past, that was his past. It was his story and she's sure he's learned and gained so much knowledge from it. She respects anyone who's worked their way up and made a better life for themselves and their family and friends. That's the definition of French. She loves that."

The 29-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star once seemed to hold Odom in the same regard, but last December she filed for divorce from the NBA vet following a summer where he was arrested on DUI charges and briefly confined to a drug abuse treatment facility.

"She's really not interested in a soft kind of guy," the source told HollywoodLife of the type of men Kardashian seems drawn to. "No momma's boys for her. It just wouldn't work for her to be with someone who has had everything given to him on a silver platter."

Since splitting from his soon-to-be ex, Odom has sought to get his NBA career back on track, recently inking a deal to join Phil Jackson and the Knicks.
