The mother of four's first marriage had happened when she was 19, despite the significant ten-year age difference between her and music producer Damon Thomas. The duo, who were married for three years, filed for divorce in 2003 with Kardashian later admitting that the union happened during a "wild phase" in her life.

The claims, especially the one of her using ecstasy during their marriage, were disputed by Thomas who referred to their relationship as "young love." After the marriage collapsed, Kardashian started dating musician Ray J after meeting him while working as a stylist for his sister Brandy.

They were in a relationship for three years, during which they made a private sex tape that gained significant attention and catapulted the 42-year-old into the spotlight after its 2007 leak.

Prior to the end of the relationship in 2006, the media personality had crossed paths with multihyphenate star Nick Cannon while working as a stylist on the set of "Moesha." Although she began dating the "Wild 'n' Out" star in late 2006, they soon went their separate ways in 2007.

Later that year, she became romantically involved with Bush, with their affair getting documented on "KUWTK." Despite Kardashian thinking the football player might be "the one," the time they spent apart resulted in the death of their romance in 2010. 

Before the end of 2010, the businesswoman had dated three more men — Austin, bodyguard Shengo Deane, and model Gabriel Aubry. By December of the same year, she had caught Kris Humphries' eye and they got engaged six months later.

Kardashian and Humphries tied the knot in an elaborate star-studded ceremony at a private home in Montecito, California in August 2011. 72 days later, the "Disaster Movie" actress filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences."

Following her split from the basketball player, the SKIMS founder accepted Kanye West's longstanding admiration for her. Towards the end of 2012, the Los Angeles beauty and the rapper announced that they were expecting their first child. 

Their daughter, North, was born in June 2013; and in October of the same year, West proposed. Then, in May 2014, they celebrated their wedding at Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy.

Over the course of their union, they welcomed three more kids — Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. Unfortunately, the marriage began taking a downturn in 2020 after West announced his presidential campaign and disclosed some deeply intimate details about their family.

In February 2021, the "Kardashian Konfidential" co-author filed for divorce. Following their split, Kardashian and West's relationship has remained tumultuous.

Things became even worse when the "Dollhouse" co-writer began dating Pete Davidson, which led to West posting threatening videos aimed at Davidson and expressing disapproval of their relationship on social media. "The Kardashians" star and the 29-year-old comedian have since broken up and fans are rooting for the latter to commence dating Brittany Spears.
