Kim Kardashian’s Complete Dating History, From Kanye to Her New Rumored NFL Beau

Damon Thomas (2000 - 2004)

Kim’s first marriage was to music producer Damon Thomas. The pair eloped in Las Vegas when Kim was just 19 years old. During a 2018 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim revealed that she was high on ecstasy when she eloped with the producer during a “wild phase” in her life.. “I got married on ecstasy,” she told her sister Kendall Jenner, referring to her “first time” at the altar with Thomas.

Kim’s relationship with Thomas was largely out of the public eye, as this was before her major rise to fame. Their marriage ended in divorce after four years, with Kim alleging in court documents obtained by the Daily Mail that Thomas was controlling and abusive during their marriage.

Ray J (2003 - 2006)

Kim dated singer and actor Ray J on and off for a few years. Their relationship gained worldwide attention after a private sex tape was leaked in 2007, catapulting Kim into the spotlight. While the tape’s release was a challenging time for Kim, it also marked the beginning of her journey to becoming a household name. Her relationship with Ray J was reportedly tumultuous, and the pair eventually called things off in 2006, a year before the sex tape leaked.

“We loved each other. Every relationship I was in, I loved the girl,” he said of Kim during his time on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017. “It’s just the moral standards and values were off. I was loving and lying.

In 2022, the sex tape controversy resurfaced when Kim claimed on The Kardashians that her then-husband, Kanye West, had retrieved additional footage from Ray J. However, Ray J disputed this account, alleging that the Kardashians had orchestrated the original leak and that the story presented on the show was inaccurate.

Nick Cannon (2006 - 2007)

Kim had a brief romance with TV personality Nick Cannon. While their relationship was short-lived, it got plenty of media attention. Cannon later revealed that their relationship ended partly because Kim had denied the existence of her tape with Ray J.

“I was really into her, I was vibing,” Nick said during a 2021 episode of Revolt’s Drink Champs, adding that Kim is an “amazing person” but ultimately “broke” his heart when the sex tape rumors began to swirl. “When I asked her about it, she denied it,” he said. “I knew that [Ray J and Kim] messed with each other. I never watched the tape.”

Reggie Bush (2007 - 2010)

Kim’s relationship with NFL player Reggie Bush was her first high-profile romance as her fame began to reach new heights. The couple dated on and off for about three years, becoming a favorite among fans and paparazzi alike. 

Their relationship coincided with the launch of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, giving viewers an inside look at their romance. Despite their apparent chemistry, the couple struggled with the pressures of fame and their busy schedules, ultimately leading to their split in 2010.

Miles Austin (2010)

Following her split from Reggie Bush, Kim had a short-lived relationship with another NFL player, Miles Austin. Their summer romance was brief but intense, with the couple often spotted together at events and on vacations. “She’s really supportive of him. Kim and Miles have purposely tried to keep their relationship quiet and low-key,” a source told People at the time. However, the demands of their respective careers and the long-distance nature of their relationship ultimately led the pair to come to a mutual decision to part ways after just a few months.

Kris Humphries (2010 - 2011)

Kim’s whirlwind romance with NBA player Kris Humphries led to a lavish televised wedding that audiences watched from around the world. The couple’s relationship moved quickly, with Humphries proposing after just seven months of dating. Their $10 million wedding was aired as a two-part TV special, but the fairytale was short-lived: Kim filed for divorce after just 72 days of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. “I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision,” Kim shared in a statement at the time. “I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.

The brevity of their marriage led to plenty of public skepticism and accusations that the relationship was a publicity stunt—although both Kim and Kris have since denied these claims.

Kanye West (2012 - 2022)

Kim’s most high-profile and serious relationship by far was with rapper Kanye West. The couple had been friends for years before their relationship turned romantic in 2012. They welcomed their first daughter, North, in 2013, and later got married in a lavish ceremony in Florence, Italy, in 2014. 

Kimye quickly became one of Hollywood’s most famous power couples, collaborating on a number of projects together and supporting each other’s careers. During their decade-long relationship, they went on to have three more children together: son Saint, born in 2015, daughter Chicago, born in 2018, and another son, Psalm, born in 2019. 

Their relationship, however, faced its fair share of challenges, including Kanye’s mental health struggles and controversial public statements. Kim filed for divorce in 2021, and it was finalized in 2022, marking the end of an era for both of them.

Pete Davidson (2021 - 2022)

Following her split from Kanye, Kim surprised many of her fans by dating comedian Pete Davidson. Their relationship began after Kim hosted Saturday Night Live, where Davidson was a cast member. In a confessional featured on an episode of The Kardashians, Kim revealed she was the one to pursue Davidson. “I called the producer at SNL and was like, ‘Hey, do you have Pete’s number? And they were like, ‘Yeah.’ I text him.” Initially, the KKW Beauty founder wasn’t planning on anything serious. “I was just basically DTF,” she admitted.

But despite their age difference and seemingly different personalities, the couple kicked it off and appeared to be pretty happy together, with Davidson even getting tattoos in Kim’s honor. Their relationship lasted about nine months and came with seemingly endless public displays of affection.

However, their busy schedules and long distance eventually led to an amicable split. “Part of the reason they split was because of their busy schedules. They both travel all the time, and it was hard,” an insider told People in 2022. A second source added, “They really hit it off and had a ton of fun together, but it feels like it ran its course.”

Odell Beckham Jr. (2023 - 2024, rumored)

In September 2023, rumors about Kim and NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. gained traction when an insider told People magazine that the two were “hanging out.” This came after Odell’s split from Lauren Wood. 

The speculation intensified when Kim was spotted at Odell’s birthday celebration later that year in November. Unlike some of her previous rumored relationships, this one seemed to have more substance. However, the romance appeared to be short-lived. By April 2024, another insider reported that their relationship was “over and just fizzled out.”
