Khloé Kardashian may have just turned parent–teacher conference energy into full-on rom-com.
One simple question — “How was your day??” — was all it took for a regular high school teacher named Jacob Myers-Norys to go from local educator to the internet’s newest crush. And yes, it all started in the Instagram comments.

Myers-Norys first popped onto people’s feeds with a now-viral video introducing himself to the world. In it, he casually shared the kind of details that make fans collectively clutch their pearls: he likes to cook, he has Italian roots, he used to be a college athlete, and he’s got both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree.
It was giving “golden retriever boyfriend with a degree and a meal plan,” and Instagram noticed.
But it was the caption that really set the stage. Alongside his video, he wrote:
“somewhere out there is the woman who’s gonna ask how my school day was
��
”
A sweet, slightly romantic line that might have floated quietly past the algorithm on any other day. This time, though, that “somewhere out there” turned out to be Khloé Kardashian.
Khloé Slides into the Comments
Enter: Khloé, professional reality star, entrepreneur, mom of two, and now… comment-section flirt.
Spotting the video, she dropped a reply that was equal parts simple and devastatingly effective:
Just like that, the fantasy scenario in his caption became very real. Myers-Norys wasted zero time keeping the energy going, replying:
“Mine is great now. How was yours?”
Khloé matched his vibe, responding,
From there, things escalated in the most internet-approved way. Myers-Norys reportedly followed up by telling Khloé to “check her DMs,” hinting that the conversation might have continued away from the public eye. The comments went from flirty to full-blown fan frenzy in seconds.
Fans Approve – “Shoot Your Shot, Ms. Khloé!”
The internet did exactly what the internet does: it grabbed popcorn and jumped into the chat. Fans flooded the comments with encouragement and chaos in equal measure.
People cheered Khloé on with messages like, “Shoot your shot Ms. Khloe!

” and “yesssss get it girrrrrl,” while others jokingly crowned Myers-Norys her “Italian stallion.” The tone was clear: no one was mad about this pairing.
Adding an extra stamp of approval, Khloé’s best friend Malika Haqq chimed in with, “Isn’t she the sweetest?” turning the whole exchange into a kind of unofficial group hype session.
Overnight, Myers-Norys went from being a teacher who likes to cook and grade papers to the internet’s favorite potential Kardashian love interest.
Khloé’s Love Life (Guarded Heart, Playful Spirit)
Part of the reason this moment landed so strongly is where Khloé is in her personal life. She has been single since ending her on-and-off relationship with Tristan Thompson in late 2021. The former couple share two children, and in recent years Khloé has been very clear about putting her kids and her peace first.

She has openly said she plans to stay celibate until she meets the right man, explaining that anyone new in her life has to be “really worth it” to shift her focus away from motherhood and healing. That honesty has made many fans protective of her and extra invested in any hint of a new connection.
At the same time, Khloé has never lost her sense of humor. She once joked that she’d break that celibacy vow for celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, giving fans a glimpse of her playful side even as she keeps her standards high.
So when she publicly flirted with a wholesome-looking teacher who loves to cook and talks about his workday, the internet was more than ready to ship it.
