Kim Kardashian is famously known for her family's successful reality series "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," which ran from 2007 to 2021. The Kardashian-Jenner clan quickly moved to a new show, "The Kardashians," when "KUWTK" ended. Outside of reality TV, Kim made a name for herself through different business ventures. However, neither of the two made so much noise for her than her colorful dating life. Kris Jenner's second daughter landed almost all the tabloids through the years because of her relationships.
Let's take a look at Kim's dating history, from the most recent to the first public romance she had.
Pete Davidson
Kim's relationship with Pete lasted for nine months. The two were linked shortly after Kim's "SNL" hosting debut in October 2021, sparking romance rumors after sharing an on-screen kiss during one of the show's skits and getting spotted together at Knott's Berry Farm in California just weeks after.
The two confirmed their relationship in November 2021 after celebrating Pete's 28th birthday. They were then seen out on multiple dinner dates in New York City. In March 2022, they became Instagram official and attended the Met Gala together in May. Pete even got a tattoo of Kim's name on his chest.
Sadly, their relationship ended in August 2022.
Jamie Reuben
Kim attended London billionaire Jamie Reuben's party in Beverly Hills in May this year, instantly sparking romance rumors. They are mutual friends with music mogul Scooter Braun. Not much was known about the seriousness of their rumored relationship.
Val Jones
Kim and Val were spotted at the Criminal Justice Reform Summit in 2018, which marked the start of their dating rumors online. Jones said in May 2021 that Kim would make an unbelievable attorney. He also said on "The Ellen Show" that she was one of the best advocates in criminal justice by using her platform to "help people behind bars."
But Kim denied their dating rumors during the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" reunion interview. She also denied dating singer Maluma at the time.
Kanye West
Kim and Kanye started dating in 2012 and married in 2014 in Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy. He was her longtime friend, and their cordial relationship began when she was still legally married to NBA player Kris Humphries.
In an interview for the ten-year anniversary special of "KUWTK," she revealed Kanye put on a fashion show in Paris just to get a date with her. "I went and I stayed with him, and that's where we started dating. I swear from the moment I landed and was there, I fell madly in love with him, and I thought, 'Oh my god, why didn't I do this sooner? This is like what real life is like and love and fun and real support. This is what it is.'"
Kanye proposed to Kim inside a San Francisco baseball stadium. They have four children together: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. The couple owned a Calabasas mansion worth $60 million.
In 2016, divorce rumors spread amid Kanye's public mental health battle. Kim eventually hired celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser when she filed for divorce in February 2021.
Kris Humphries
Kim started dating Kris in October 2010, when he was still playing for the New Jersey Nets. They were engaged seven months later and were married for 72 days.

When Kim filed for divorce in 2011, citing irreconcilable differences, it sparked a huge media uproar.
Kim revealed in a 2017 interview with Andy Cohen that the rush to get married was partly due to her panic at turning 30. "I think a lot of girls do go through that where they freak out thinking they're getting old and have to figure it out, all their friends are having kids. It was more of that situation," Kim said. The reality star said that during the honeymoon, she knew it would not work.
Kris also denied rumors that it was simply a publicity stunt, saying the relationship was 100% real. They were officially divorced in April 2013.

According to him, they stopped seeing each other, and Kim eventually dated Reggie Bush.
Ray J
The showbiz industry immortalized Kim's relationship with Ray J due to the leak of their sex tape five years after its recording in 2002. The R&B singer was Kim's beau from 2003 to 2006, while Kim was going through her divorce with Damon Thomas and working as Brandy Norwood's stylist. Brandy is Ray J's older sister.
After over 14 years of silence, Ray J spoke about the leaked sex tape, saying, "I've never leaked a sex tape in my life. It's never been a leak. It's always been a deal and a partnership between Kris Jenner and Kim and me and we've always been partners since the beginning of this thing."
The sex tape launched Kim into the spotlight, but she denied any involvement with its distribution. She sued and settled with Vivid Entertainment for $5 million; the company reportedly paid millions for the footage.
But Ray J said, "She had to go find that tape and then present it [to Vivid Entertainment]. I never had a tape in my possession in our whole relationship."
