For more than a decade, the private affairs of Kim Kardashian have captured widespread attention. Since formally presenting herself to the world in 2007 with the inaugural episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim has established herself as a notable socialite and impactful entrepreneur. Throughout the years, Kim has savored moments of extraordinary happiness and weathered periods of intense sorrow.
After being married for upwards of six years and having four kids, Kim formally sought a separation from her spouse, Kanye West, in February of 2021. The onetime influential pair ultimately resolved the issue with a finalized separation decree in November of 2022. In the meantime, Kim engaged in a nine-month connection with Saturday Night Live personality Pete Davidson.
Despite the duo parting ways in August of 2022, Kim took away a valuable lesson from their time together. During a broadcast of The Kardashians in October 2023, she confessed that she desired a partner who was “age appropriate” after being involved with the comic, and revealed that she now has “age limits” established.
Therefore, is Kim currently seeing anyone? Let’s examine her past amorous entanglements across the years.
Damon Thomas
Well before KUWTK began filming, Kim’s initial marriage took place in a rather unforeseen manner. Kim secretly tied the knot with music composer Damon Thomas in Las Vegas in 2000. During that period, Kim was only 19 years of age. With both her family’s disapproval and alleged mistreatment from Damon, the wedlock proved to be fleeting. Damon eventually sought a divorce in 2003, with the judicial procedures completing in 2004.

It wasn’t much time following her divorce that Kim commenced seeing singer Ray J. The two first encountered each other while Kim was employed as the helper to Ray J’s sister, Brandy. The couple was romantically linked periodically from 2005 to 2007, however, circumstances became rather tough for the duo following their split. Subsequent to their separation, a private video that the previous duo had created was leaked and ultimately marketed to Vivid Entertainment. To further complicate things, the footage surfaced at the time that KUWTK first aired.
Nick Lachey

Subsequent to his separation from Jessica Simpson, Nick Lachey experienced a remarkable date with Kim! Though Nick himself stated during an interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that alluding to Kim as his “ex” was “a bit of an overstatement,” he did divulge some background on their date! The two attended a movie in 2006, preceding Nick’s marriage to now-spouse Vanessa Minillo, whom he married in 2011. “I believe we went on a single date,” he commented. “She excused herself midway to use the restroom, and subsequently, there were roughly 25 paparazzi awaiting us upon exiting the theater,” he revealed. “I suspect that extraneous forces were at play during our little rendezvous.”
Nick Cannon

As Kim’s renown amplified significantly due to KUWTK, she commenced dating onetime Nickelodeon personality Nick Cannon. The pair were only together for a handful of months, but Nick communicated concerning their time as a couple and the explanation for their breakup, several years later. “This was my problem. We talked about this tape,” he shared during a 2013 appearance on The Howard Stern Show.
“And she told me there was no tape. If she might have been honest with me, I might have tried to hold her down and be like ‘That was before me’ because she is a great girl. She’s actually one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet,” he went on. “But the fact that she lied and told me that there was no tape? And I still think she might have even had a part to play with [its release].”
Reggie Bush

Kim’s subsequent admirer was NFL athlete Reggie Bush, whom she dated intermittently from 2007 until 2010. The two made attempts to sustain their bond as much as they possibly could, however, owing to the obligations of Reggie’s professional football life, and Kim’s ongoing prominence with KUWTK along with fresh projects, matters gradually dissolved. But that didn’t stop rumors from circulating that Reggie was contemplating proposing to Kim when they were together. The reality TV personality, however, promptly dismissed such speculation.
“A radio interviewer asked what I dreamed for in 2010 and I was hesitant and thinking about it and they said what about ring,” she penned on her old blog. “I said yes, a Superbowl ring for Reggie. Then they said that if he gets a Superbowl ring, I get an engagement and I said ‘ok deal!’”
Miles Austin

Subsequent to her bond with Reggie, Kim had a brief romance with Miles Austin. The duo started dating during the summer months of 2010. However, their love faded by September of that year.

Subsequent to her fling with Miles, Kim was involved with her security guard Shengo Deane! The pair weren’t particularly serious, but the two supposedly exchanged a kiss. Shengo acted as Kim’s security during the fifth season of KUWTK.
Gabriel Aubry

Kris Humphries

Following some casual associations and dating following Reggie, Kim appeared to eventually come across her lasting affection. Kim began dating Kris Humphries in December 2010. The then-couple’s bond was documented in the news as well as on KUWTK. After just half a year of being together, Kris was prepared to advance his amorous feelings with Kim. The NBA athlete proposed to Kim on a segment of KUWTK with a striking 20.5-carat Lorraine Schwartz ring.
The pair married in August 2011, with the service televised for watchers in a segment of KUWTK. Although the occasion was absolutely glorious and the couple appeared incredibly delighted, Kim’s idealistic outcome was not destined to be with Kris. The couple’s matrimony lasted a scant 72 days prior to Kim filing for divorce from Kris. During a May 2017 interview with Andy Cohen, Kim admitted that she was aware that her nuptials were not destined to last while she was on her honeymoon.
“At the time I didn’t even — I just thought, ‘Holy sh*t, I’m 30 years old. I better get this together; I better get married.’ I think a lot of girls do go through that — where they freak out and think they’re getting old and they have to figure it out,” she shared on Watch What Happens Live. “But I knew, like, [by the] honeymoon it wasn’t going to work out.” Kim and Kris’s separation was finalized in June 2013, amid a newfound relationship.
Kanye West

Subsequent to her exceedingly advertised parting from Kris, Kim started dating her longtime acquaintance Kanye West during the springtime of 2012. Kim and Kanye interacted in similar social groups for several years prior to elevating their friendship to the next stage. It wasn’t long subsequent to the couple becoming romantically linked that they achieved a noteworthy point in their bond as well as in their respective lives. On June 15, 2013, just beyond a year once they formally started seeing each other, Kim and Kanye welcomed their beloved daughter, North West, into the world.
Four months subsequently, Kanye proposed to Kim on her 33rd birthday, and the couple married in less than a year afterward in May 2014 in a sentimental ceremony at Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy. Supporters utterly appreciated the images of the couple’s sumptuous nuptials, and associates along with family were equally thrilled to observe Kim and Kanye’s existence jointly flourish.
Subsequent to their romantic Italian wedding rites, Kim and Kanye proceeded to broaden their household. In December 2015, the couple welcomed their second child, son Saint. However, Kim wrestled with intense health difficulties throughout both of her initial pregnancies, citing pre-eclampsia. Consequently, Kim’s physicians discouraged her from conceiving another time. Kim and Kanye’s third offspring, daughter Chicago, was welcomed into the world on January 15, 2018 by means of a surrogate, as was Kim and Kanye’s fourth offspring, son Psalm, delivered on May 9, 2019.
Kim and Kanye’s matrimony has been subjected to significant media coverage. The couple, however, consistently maintained a united presence. And Kim has been remarkably supportive of Kanye’s fashion and music vocation, whilst concurrently being candid regarding several of the problems they encounter as Kanye proceeds to grapple with his bipolar disorder. However, subsequent to four children and six years of marriage, it seems that their amorous connection may be drawing to a conclusion.
Reports circulated on January 5 that Kim and Kanye were essentially en route to a separation. “He knows that she’s done. She has had enough, and she told him that she wants some space to figure out her future,” a source revealed to People. “He’s okay. He’s sad, but okay. He knows the inevitable will happen, and he knows that it’s coming soon,” the source added of Kanye’s current state.
Just beyond a month subsequent to initial reports circulating that Kim and Kanye’s matrimony was dissolving, news surfaced on February 19, 2021, that Kim purportedly sought a divorce. Kim requested joint physical and legal custodianship of the couple’s four children little ones — North, Saint, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 1 — per sources from TMZ. It also suggests that the split has been “amicable” and neither Kim nor Kanye has contested the prenup they signed. It’s a devastating end to one of Hollywood’s most well-known couples.
Pete Davidson
Kim and Pete Davidson, presently 29, struck up an unanticipated romance in Oct. 2021 not long after she debuted as host on Saturday Night Live. Her opening remarks concentrated on her separation from Ye, and she later shared an on-screen kiss with Pete during an Aladdin themed skit in which she acted the role of Princess Jasmine and he played Aladdin. Shortly afterward, the pair were sighted holding hands while visiting Knott’s Berry Farm just beyond Los Angeles! Although the pair were being reserved to start, they were captured clasping hands while going to her mom Kris Jenner‘s dwelling in Palm Springs — which is also where they commemorated his 28th birthday.
Kim and Pete seemed to be inseparable during the ensuing months, transporting their romance to New York (including numerous stops in Pete’s hometown of Staten Island for Italian cuisine, of course), Los Angeles, numerous journeys to the Caribbean, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Pete even received several skin markings for his affection, including an abbreviation that read KNSCP for her four children North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. He acquired also a burned-in branding spelling out “Kim” as well as a skin marking that stated, “my girl is a lawyer.” Even though the pair seemed devoted to creating their cross-country romance viable as Pete started filming a venture in Australia — where Kim traveled to visit on July 16, 2022 — the pair parted ways in just short of three weeks afterward. The separation occurred throughout the week of August 5, as a source intimate with Kim affirmed to Hollywood Life.
Even though the bond had been over for a considerable period, Kim indirectly addressed it during an October episode of The Kardashians in October of 2023. “I have age limits, guys,” she stated to “soccer mom” companions when the subject was brought up, per Daily Mail. “I need just a little bit more age appropriate. I need like 40s.”
She voiced also discontentment with the views of her single condition among her wedded companions. “When you’re single and all your friends are married,” she elucidated, “it’s like you have desperation written on your face and everyone under the sun wants to hook you up with someone. I’m genuinely just okay being by myself for a minute, and the right situation will come my way.”
Odell Beckham Jr.
Several outlets stated that Kim and Odell Beckham Jr. initiated dating in September 2023, and their alleged romance was ephemeral. They ended things by April 2024, but no animosity was apparent between the former pair.
