Khloe Kardashian explains why she's smitten with French Montana

We knew they were dating, but we didn't know how serious she was about him until she followed him all the way South Africa for the MTV Africa Music Awards. It takes a really committed woman of her status to do that...and now we kinda know why Khloe likes her man so much.

"French is always happy and it's contagious. He's just what I need right now" Khloe said during a red carpet interview at her 4th of July birthday party in Las Vegas.

A source told UsWeekly this week that Khloe is smitten with French Montana and is hoping to have a child with him. "Khloe's smitten and it's her goal to get pregnant - soon!' a source told the magazine.

The source said they are not planning to get engaged as they are both still technically married to other people - but are enjoying 'a very sexual relationship.'
