Exploring Kim Kardashian’s Colorful Roɱaпtic Journey: Traversing Relationships from Kanye West to Pete Davidson

​

Kim Kardashian is back on the market and looking for love!

Since making her reality show debut in the early 2000s, Kardashian’s love life has been well documented over the years. She’s been married three ᴛι̇ɱes: first to music producer Damon Thomas, then to former NBA player Kris Humphries (which infamously lasted just 72 days) and most recently to Kanye West, whom she divorced in 2021 and shares four children with.

During an appearance on Jay Shetty’s podcast, On Purpose, Kardashian told the host that she’ll “always be a hopeless roɱaпtic,” despite how her past relationships have played out.

“I definitely love sharing my life with someone and love creating a life with someone,” the reality star said, adding that she’s in no rush to find a new roɱaпtic partner. “I’m not lonely.”

Kardashian previously said she envisioned her future with someone out of the spotlight, however, a source told PEOPLE in September 2023 that she’s currently “hanging out” with NFL star Odell Beckham Jr.

From her three marriages to brief flings, here’s a look at Kim Kardashian’s dating history.

Damon Thomas

When Kardashian was just 19 years old, she eloped with music producer Damon Thomas, who was 10 years her senior. Kardashian and Thomas were married for three years but ulᴛι̇ɱately filed for divorce in 2003. She later regretfully revealed that the couple tied the knot the first ᴛι̇ɱe she got high on ecstasy during a “wild phase” in her life. Following Kardashian’s comments, Thomas shot down claims that she had been doing drugs, calling their relationship “young love.”

Ray J

Kardashian began dating musician Ray J in 2003 after meeting him while working as a stylist for his sister Brandy. The couple went on to date for three years, during which they made a sex tape that catapulted Kardashian into the spotlight when it was released in 2007. Kardashian later admitted that the couple had made the tape during one of the few ᴛι̇ɱes she took ecstasy, which she says is blatantly obvious watching the tape back.

“Absolutely. Everyone knows it. Like, my jaw was shaking the whole ᴛι̇ɱe,” Kardashian said during an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Although Kardashian’s relationship with Ray J ended in 2006, their names have continued to make headlines. In 2018, Ray J made claims about the former couple’s sex life, including details about their “marathon sessions.” Kardashian shot down his claims on Twitter, writing that Ray J was a “pathological liar.”

Then in 2022, rumors surfaced that there was additional unreleased footage from the couple’s sex tape. In order to prevent additional footage from being released, Kardashian’s ex-husband West acquired the hard drive where the video was being stored. Upon further investigation, the hard drive consisted of “nothing sexual unseen,” only footage from a plane ride and a trip to a club. When the storyline unfolded on The Kardashians, Ray J said all of it was “such a lie.”
