Much like your favorite pair of Uggs, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s relationship has been around forever and refuses to give up. Considering they work in an industry where the average marriage lasts 8 months (or in Kim and Kris Humphries’ case, 72 days), it’s a miracle that these two are still going strong—guess they’re just that in love. But really, Kim and Kanye have been together for almost a decade, and they have four super cute kids with totally normal names, oh and once they trapped Kenny G in their home in the name of romance. Their relationship deserves to be preserved in the annals of American history, but in the meantime here’s a timeline.
Circa 2003
Kim and Kanye meet on set of a Brandy music video. “I met him, I think, in 2002 or 2003,” she told Ryan Seacrest during the KUWTK anniversary special. “He was recording a song with Brandy, and I was her friend. I vividly remember hanging out with him, and then they did a video together, so I’d see him a few times. He was asking his friends: ‘Who is this Kim Kardajan?’ He didn’t know what my name was.”
Circa 2008
Kim and Kanye bond while working on a pilot for something questionable-sounding called Alligator Boots.
“We had met before this project (back in 2003),” Kim said on her website. “But I would say this is when we first really connected.”
October 2011
Kim marries Kris Humphries for an iconic 72 days, but admits she was simultaneously having feelings for Kanye, whoops! Here’s how she remembered it during the KUWTK anniversary special:
April 2012
Kim and Kanye go public with their love and Kanye releases “Cold,” where he raps “And I’ll admit, I had fell in love with Kim / Around the same time she had fell in love with him / Well that’s cool, baby girl, do ya thang / Lucky I ain’t had Jay drop him from the team.”
Naturally, everyone assumes that last line is Kris Humphries shade since he was playing for the Brooklyn Nets at the time, a NBA team that Jay Z owned.
Before long, Kanye starts showing up on KUWTK to clean out Kim’s closet and revamp her fashion:

August 2018
Rumors that Kim and Kanye are going through a rough patch hit the internet, but Kris shuts them TF down. “I think they’re just so solid,” she said. “They’re so connected, and they love each other very much, and they have a family that they’re committed to. They’re committed to one another, and people, you’re not always going to agree with each other forever. You’re going to have differences. You’re going to have things that pop up. You’re going to have hiccups. There’s a lot of things in life as human beings that we all deal with, especially if we have a partner, a spouse. I think they’re so committed to one another that things like that probably bring them closer together.” Well, guess that settles that.
