EXCLUSIVE Khloe Kardashian's perfect celebrity match REVEALED after swearing off NBA players for good
Khloé Kardashian left fans shocked after recently announcing her decision to retire from dating pro athletes while appearing on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast.
Following her failed romances with Lamar Odom and Tristan Thompson, celebrity matchmaker, Susan Trombetti, weighed in on who would make the best match for the reality star amid her new 'no NBA ' policy.
In an excusive chat with DailyMail.com, Trombetti, the founder of Exclusive Matchmaking, explained that Kardashian's next partner needs to be someone 'emotionally available and commits to her.'
'He would be someone that loves her, is kind to her and her children, fits in with her lifestyle and family, and is emotionally available and commits to her,' she said. 'They need to be family oriented. It shouldn't be someone that is looking for fame, or wants to compete with her celebrity.'
Trombetti continued: 'Think Zac Efron. He has no scandalous past, appears grounded and very private, he is kind, he's famous and handles it well.'
And, as the expert matchmaker, pointed out, 'he's handsome, loyal and drama free.'
'He's a hottie... as a matchmaker, I say they could make a good match!' she insisted.
While the pair would make an unexpected couple, the High School Musical actor and mother-of-two share several areas of compatibility, including their passion for fitness and maintaining healthy lifestyles as well as their down-to-earth personalities.
In terms of their astrological compatibility, Kardashian is a Cancer, and Zac Efron is a Libra, which makes them both hopeful romantics.
While a Libra's curiosity might clash with a Cancer's sensitivity, with trust and communication, neither obstacle would be too great of an obstacle for them to overcome.
Still, Efron would be a major pivot from Kardashian's past romances as she has almost exclusively dated NBA players like Odom, Thompson, James Harden and Rashad McCants.
The Good American founder did, however, recently declare she was swearing off her type after enduring multiple cheating scandals during her relationships with Thompson, 34, and Odom, 45.
Despite her valid reasoning for wanting to shun ballers, dating experts, Nicole Moore and Amber Lee, cautioned Kardashian from stereotyping against all sports stars.
'Swearing off NBA Players is not going to help Khloe to avoid men who are not right for her without looking at the deeper underlying patterns and attachment issues that impact the type of partner she is attracting,' Lee, the CEO & Co-Founder at Select Date Society told DailyMail.com.
Instead, Lee suggested the mother-of-two should focus on 'swearing off men with commitment issues.'
'Khloe can have a great relationship with a professional athlete if she is able to accurately identify patterns that have not served her well in the past, such as her tendency to fall into the role of caretaker and nurturer,' the matchmaker continued.
As she searches for her next partner, Lee also proposed Kardashian make a list of her non-negotiables and identify her 'must haves' in a partner.
'These should include character traits that truly matter in a partnership (not superficial requirements like he has to be over 6'2).' she noted.
Moore agreed that it would be 'silly for Khloe to not an NBA player who is actually emotionally available, for instance, just because her exes who were NBA players hurt her.'
Still, the celebrity love coach pointed out that 'unfortunately, professional athletes are, in fact, more likely to cheat due to many factors.'
This includes spending a lot of time away from their partners, fans who do anything to be them, and an intense work environment that can sometimes cause them to sweep emotional issues under the rug.
Trombetti did point out, however, that cheating, unfortunately, is 'the norm' with many professional athletes.
'It's an unspoken network where the wives watch out for other player's wives and alert them because cheating goes on regularly,' revealed. 'Women are constantly throwing themselves at them, and most don't resist the temptation.'
As for whether it would be realistic for Khloé to find love outside the celebrity world, Moore acknowledged it would be 'incredibly difficult.'
'Khloe would likely find more success in a relationship with somebody with equal influence and finances as her perhaps someone with visibility in business or an adjacent field,' she explained.
Moore also expressed concern that if she 'were to date non-celebrity, she might always wonder if they were with her or her fame and fortune.'
Trombetti, however, pointed out that other stars, like Lana del Ray, Jennifer Garner, Sofia Vergara and Reese Witherspoon are all happily dating men outside their industries.
'It's happening more often,' she explained. 'I have A-list celebs that come to me asking for someone not in the business. Everyone craves a relationship as much out of the spotlight as possible.'

Helen Garner reflects on the ‘three worst weeks of my life' caring for a dying friend
When Helen Garner arrived at Sydney's Belvoir St theatre last Wednesday, she was worried the next two hours were 'going to be gruesome'. It was opening night of the adaptation of her 2008 novel, The Spare Room, based on her experience caring for a dying friend who came to stay with her. 'They were the three worst weeks of my life, they were just unforgettably dreadful,' Garner said in conversation with Jennifer Byrne at Belvoir on Monday evening. 'I came along [to opening night] feeling that I would find it unbearable to live those three weeks again.' After the show, she crawled into bed 'exhausted'. 'I don't sleep very well now, since I got old, but I got into bed and I slept without moving for nine hours,' Garner said. 'Seeing those three weeks played out on stage resolved something in me.' In The Spare Room, the narrator, Helen, gamely agrees to host her old friend Nicola when she flies from Sydney to Melbourne to attend a cancer clinic, without realising how close to death she is. As the novel opens, Helen is preparing her spare room for her friend – fresh sheets, plumped pillows, a new rug, flowers – confident in her capabilities as a hostess and carer. This is quickly punctured by Nicola's shocking frailty and poor health, and her irrational optimism about her prognosis and the clinic's dubious treatment protocol – which turns out to be Vitamin C injections and 'ozone baths'. There follows a power struggle: Helen's fierce love for her friend gives way to excoriating rage at her delusional positivity and refusal to admit she's dying, while Nicola stubbornly resists Helen's attempts to arrange proper pain medication and palliative care. 'I was cruel to her,' Garner confessed, reflecting on her experience with her friend (Jenya Osborne, who died in 2006), adding: 'When somebody's in a trance of craziness, you want to snap them out of it – and that can make you cruel, harsh.' Belvoir's artistic director, Eamon Flack, who adapted the novel for stage, said it was Garner's frank depiction of an older woman's rage that drew him to it. Garner said she was criticised for precisely this aspect of her novel when it was first published. 'Quite a few older men criticised it because they said it was too full of anger … I was kind of shocked, actually, [because] we rage against death; there's a lot of anger in us when death is in the room.' These criticisms upset her, she admitted. 'You don't want to [be seen as] 'Oh, you're so angry.' 'Why are you so angry, Helen? You're always angry' – that's something people [have said]. Even my grandson said this to me the other day: 'Hel, you're full of anger,'' she said, rearing back in mock rage: 'I said, 'How dare you!'' Not a single woman has criticised The Spare Room for its anger, Garner said; instead, many older women thanked her for depicting the carer's experience. One full-time carer told her: 'Helen, we all feel that anger. We're all tormented by it. Don't be ashamed of it. It's part of the whole thing. You have to go there.' In Belvoir's adaptation, Helen is portrayed by stage and screen veteran Judy Davis – a performance that Garner said she found 'shattering' to watch. 'But it took me a moment to get used to it,' she said. 'I don't go to the theatre much any more. I used to go a lot – I even used to be a theatre critic in the 80s – but now I just look at movies and stuff on TV. And I'd forgotten how actory [theatre] actors are. There's such a lot of big gestures, big movements, and I thought, 'Oh my God, could you just stand still for a moment?' … I kept saying 'I would never do that. I would never run across the room like that'.' Garner said she is not generally a fan of adaptations of her work – but neither does she feel the need to be heavily involved. 'I'm happy to hand stuff over,' she said. 'I wouldn't have wanted to have anything to do with this production … I would feel that I was useless.' One exception was Ken Cameron's 1982 film adaptation of her 1977 novel, Monkey Grip, where she happened to be on set the day they were filming a scene between Noni Hazlehurst and Colin Friels after his character had overdosed. 'He says 'Sorry, Nora', and in the book she says, 'You don't have to say that' – and so Noni [said the line] and I said, 'CUT! That's so wrong. She's in a rage.' But they were going to play it in this soppy, wet [way],' Garner said. 'I'm always glad that I was there.' When Byrne said she would like to see all of Garner's books adapted for stage, Garner retorted with characteristic frankness: 'I'm telling you now, I would hate that. I mean, God, there's so much shit in there.' The audience laughed appreciatively – but the author fixed us with a gimlet eye. 'And when I die, don't think anybody's gonna get in it then, either.' The Spare Room is at Belvoir St theatre, Sydney until 13 July

Today's horoscope for June 17 as Scorpio takes charge of a difficult situation
Today's horoscope for Tuesday, June 17 will see Aries meet challenges head-on, while Capricorn is ready to put their trust in someone It's Tuesday, and one star sign should trust their ability to manage a situation, while another will be deeply committed to a new goal. There are 12 zodiac signs - Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces - and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more. These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here's what today could bring for your horoscope - and what you can do to be prepared. Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20) In your usual forthright style you will want to meet challenges head-on. You find it easier to overcome problems when you keep your outlook positive and trust in your ability to manage the situation. Also, facing up to responsibilities leaves you feeling more successful. Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21) Someone is keen to finalise a financial or legal arrangement. You're uncertain about it. Now is not the time to let others pressure you into a decision you might later regret. Consider the possible consequences of all decisions. Plan ahead to ensure you feel secure about your commitments. Gemini (May 22 - June 21) Exploring new places and taking on new commitments will provide you with experiences you've never had before. You are likely to find yourself with more time to spend with friends and family and you might notice it's been a while since you've felt this relaxed and comfortable. Cancer (June 22 - July 23) Make positive use of your charm and charisma to bring a long-held dream to life. Keep telling yourself that you can realise a cherished wish. This is the perfect time to showcase your creative talents, submit a university application or apply for a loan. Everything is looking promising now. Leo (July 24 - Aug 23) Some new faces will join your working environment, bringing with them new interests and new ideas. Your involvement with a club or group will present you with an unexpected offer and this is a one you will want to accept immediately. Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23) A changing financial situation is giving you more hope for the future. The thought of being able to make a down payment on a house or a car will fill you with renewed hope and excitement. You might also be thinking about investing in something that brings back fond childhood memories. Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23) You are deeply committed to a new goal despite what someone else is inferring. They don't realise how serious you are about this. While others may not understand why you have suddenly changed your views, they will be unable to dissuade you from doing what you want to do. Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22) Friends and colleagues are grateful for the way you have taken charge of a difficult situation. Your intervention is making a positive difference. You will be asked for advice on handling a similar problem. A mix of practicality and trusting your intuition will guide you through the day. Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21) One way to address an issue related to a joint budget is to share ideas with your partner. Together you will be able to determine the next steps. Also, you might hear a friend from a distance is thinking about visiting you soon. You have mixed feelings about this news. Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20) After some recent events, discussions and interesting revelations, you are ready to put your trust in someone despite some previous doubts about their honesty and reliability. Explanations they have given make sense to you and you can see how and why there have been misunderstandings. Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19) Close relationships are more harmonious than they have been recently. In fact, one particular partnership is starting to feel more stable. Later in the day, a health issue related to an older relative will need your attention. This is something you don't want to ignore. Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20) Computers and electronic devices could be problematic. Be flexible, especially when you are with people who get bored very easily. While you and a close friend or partner may not see eye to eye on every issue, this does not imply a lack of compatibility.

Meghan Markle breaks silence on controversial 'twerking' video with bold response
Meghan Markle has finally spoken out about the video clip of her and Prince Harry twerking to bring on labour with Princess Lilibet Meghan Markle has spoken out about her twerking video that set tongues wagging, with a bold reply. The Duchess of Sussex turned heads when she posted a clip of herself and Prince Harry in a hospital room appearing to be 'twerking'. The pair were busting moved to supposedly to induce labour during the latter stages of her pregnancy with Princess Lilibet. The video, which lasts over a minute, is set to the tune Baby Mamma and captures Harry being drawn in by Meghan. The Duke makes an appearance towards the end sporting the hood of his grey hoodie, continuing his dancing. Dressed in black maternity attire, Meghan embraces her prominent bump while dancing, in addition to hoisting her skirt above her knees, flinging her arms, and swaying with hands on her hips and legs. The Duchess had not discussed the public's reaction to the now widely circulated video until participating in a fresh interview on the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast. In a sneak peek of the show London-born businesswoman Emma, responsible for the brand Good American, sits down to have a chat with Meghan where they touch on the recording, as reported by the Mirror. In the preview, Meghan is in discussion with Emma about the need for authenticity to achieve success and queries the host: "Did you see my 'Baby Momma' dance?" Emma, founding partner of Kim Kardashian's Skims label, shared her excitement: "We maybe watched it like 20 times yesterday, and I was like, is that, is that her? Is that Prince Harry there with the fingers...I was like, on Harry, let's go. But that's you, right? Like that's you in a way that we kind of haven't been able to see you before. "And I did like a little secret cheer, cause I was like, well, that's what I kind of want to see from you. Like I wanna see that happiness and that honesty and that 'I don't give a f***' kind of thing." Breaking her silence, Meghan spoke about the footage, stating: "That was four years ago. So it's also a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life - a real, authentic, fun life - that's happening behind the scenes. "I'm just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms." This comes following a recent heartwarming Father's Day tribute Meghan shared on Instagram, featuring previously unseen clips of Prince Harry with their children Archie and Lilibet. Alongside Jason Mraz's song Have It All, the Instagram video showcased Harry in a sweet family moment. Meghan expressed her adoration for her husband with a simple but powerful caption: "The best," alongside, "Happy Father's Day to our favourite guy." The montage featured snapshots and clips of Harry laughing and dancing as he enjoying precious moments with his children over the years. The post came as somewhat of a u-turn for the couple, who have previously chosen to keep their kids faces out of the public spotlight. The Duchess made her comeback to social media earlier this year, and frequently posts about personal achievements and professional news on her Instagram account.
