The 31-year-old rapper has admitted the pair - who ended their two year relationship last year - share a "special relationship", which sees French Montana credit the 'Kocktails with Khloé' host as one of his closest pals.

Speaking to PEOPLE magazine about his relationship with the 31-year-old TV personality, he said: "We're gonna be friends forever, me and Khloé.

"We've got a special kind of relationship. That's one of my best friends."

However, the 'Strong Looks Better Naked' author claimed she dated the musician because she felt lonely following her split from her estranged husband Lamar Odom in 2014.

She previously explained: "It's nothing against French. I just think I don't want a boyfriend.

"I jumped into something because I was just lonely and destructive. But now I'm like, I just want to be alone."

Meanwhile, it has been reported Khloé has reconciled her romance with French.

A source said: "Khloé and French Montana are still hooking up but keeping it totally under the radar.

"She's still into French, but she wants to keep it no strings attached. Khloé knows French is a player and doesn't want to get involved with him in that way again right now."
