For those who may not be familiar, here's a  look at her dating and marriage history spanning the past two decades since 2000:

1. Damon Thomas, 2000 - 2003: Kim, then 19 years old, tied the knot with music producer Damon Thomas in 2000, who was a decade senior to her. Their marriage lasted for three years, during which Kim alleged controlling behavior in their divorce papers. Damon firmly denied these accusations.
2. Ray J, 2003 - 2006: While working as a stylist for singer Brandy, Kim began dating Brandy's younger brother, Ray J. Their relationship lasted three years until 2006. A year after their separation, a sex tape featuring Kim and Ray J, known as "Kim Kardashian Superstar," was leaked online. Kim denied involvement in the tape's distribution and sued its owners, Vivid Entertainment, eventually settling for $5 million.
3. Nick Cannon, 2006 - 2007: Kim dated TV presenter Nick Cannon for about a year, but they parted ways, in part, due to the release of the sex tape.
4. Reggie Bush, 2007 - 2010: Kim and American football player Reggie began dating after being introduced by mutual friends. Their relationship coincided with the rise in popularity of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." Their on-again, off-again dynamic, including a breakup in 2009 and a later reconciliation before their final split in 2010, played out on the show.
5. Kris Humphries, 2010 - 2013: Kim met basketball player Kris Humphries in October 2010, and they became engaged seven months later. Their extravagant August 2011 wedding was filmed for a two-part television special and reportedly cost $10 million. However, their marriage lasted just 72 days, with Kim filing for divorce. The divorce was eventually finalized in June 2013.
6. Kanye West, 2012 - February 2021: Kim initially met Kanye West while filming "KUWTK," but their relationship began as friends. After her divorce from Kris, Kim started dating Kanye in 2012. They welcomed their first child, North, in June 2013 and married in a lavish ceremony in Florence, Italy, a year later. The couple had three more children together but faced various controversies and challenges over the years. In February 2021, they announced their decision to file for divorce.
7. Van Jones, June 2021: In the summer of 2021, Kim Kardashian and CNN presenter Van Jones were linked, primarily due to Van's assistance with Kim's law degree. Kim, however, denied these claims, stating that they were not dating but that Van jokingly thanked her for the rumors bringing him more attention.
8. Pete Davidson, October 2021 - August 2022: Kim Kardashian and comedian Pete Davidson dated for approximately nine to ten months, with their initial meeting at the 2021 Met Gala. They made their official red carpet debut as a couple in April 2022 at the premiere of "The Kardashians."

Additionally, earlier this year, Kim was rumored to be involved with someone named 'Fred.'
