Khloé Kardashian's friends approve of Rick Fox.

The 30-year-old reality TV star, who has had an on/off relationship with rapper French Montana since splitting from estranged husband Lamar Odom in December 2013, was recently spotted on a dinner date the former NBA star, 45, and her pals hope romance will blossom because they think he is a stable guy.

A source said: ''Rick is nice. They hope he can make her happy again.''

The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star reconnected with Rick at a friend's party in Los Angeles a few months ago and enjoyed dinner with him at Casa Vega last month.

The insider told Us Weekly: ''Rick loves her sense of humour.''

The former LA Lakers player, who has 15-year-old daughter Sasha with ex-wife Vanessa Williams, was briefly linked to AnnaLynne McCord in February.

The actor split from Eliza Dushku last June after five years of dating.

The former 'Dollhouse' actress, 34, previously admitted they decided to go their separate ways after she moved back to her native Boston.

She said: ''Rick's an LA guy and I'm a Boston girl. I'd rather be a little physically cold here than emotionally cold in LA I missed my town and my family.''
