HE SAYS: “Kim is obsessed with fame. She can’t write or sing or dance, so she does harmful things in order to validate herself in the media. That’s a fame-whore to me. It’s just not cool at all,” the reality star’s ex husband exclusively told In Touch.
SHE SAYS: “You think you know so much about love when you’re really young and you look back later and probably realize it is not what you thought it was,” Kim told the Today show.

HE SAYS: “I thought my career was literally over as I saw it. At the time, I thought my life and money might be over because you can’t be respected once you go into a certain world that involves sex. [But] I literally became a sex object,” the “Sexy Can I” singer admitted in his book, Death of a Cheating Man: What Every Woman Must Know About Men Who Stray.

THEIR RELATIONSHIP: Fortuitous timing seemed to bring Kim and Nick together as she was cooling things with Ray J at about the same time Nick got divorced from Jessica.
HE SAYS: “We went to a movie. No one followed us there. Somehow, mysteriously, when we left, there were 30 photographers waiting outside. There are certain ways to play this game, and some people play it well,” the former 98 Degrees frontman told Details magazine.
SHE SAYS: “[The attention] started when I went out on a date with Nick Lachey. Of course the paparazzi took pictures, because people were curious about who he was with. The next night I was out with Paris Hilton. We were in her car and the paparazzi started taking pictures. Usually they would shout ‘Paris! Paris! Paris!’ But they started yelling ‘Kim! Kim! Kim!’… It was surreal,” Kim wrote in the 2010 book Kardashian Konfidential.

“If she might have been honest with me, I might have tried to hold her down and be, like, ‘That was before me.’ She’s actually one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet,” he previously said. “But the fact that she lied and told me that there was no tape….?”
HE SAYS: “She’s a great girl. Her and her family are some of the most incredible people I’ve ever met in my life,” Nick told Page Six.

A lot of it started in college, too, winning championships and all the different things we were able to accomplish at the collegiate level, that’s where it started obviously, why there was the attention at first, because of the accomplishments. Then all the other stuff came. The gossip magazines and all the other stuff, the ugly side of it. But you know what, I wouldn’t change anything because it helped mold and shape who I am today and I’m a better man for it,” the father of two told ESPN.
SHE SAYS: Kim has not spoken at length about her relationship with Reggie.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
2012: KANYE WEST, HUSBAND #3
WHO HE IS: The most successful of the men that Kim has dated, Kanye is a rapper, fashion designer, a record producer, head of his own record label GOOD Music and founder of creative content company DONDA.
THEIR RELATIONSHIP: Kim began dating Kanye in April 2012, and gave birth to their daughter, North, in June of the following year. They were married on May 24, 2014, at Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy. They welcomed their second child, son Saint, in December 2015. Their second daughter, Chicago, was born in January 2018 and their second son, Psalm, was born in May 2019. Both Chi and Psalm were born via surrogate. Kim filed for divorce in February 2021 after months of speculation. Since then, their split has gotten messy.
HE SAYS: “Anyone that’s in a relationship knows that in order to get to the point to get married and then to be married and to then carry on, it needs that work put into it. Kim is this girl who … turns me on. I love her. This is who I want to be next to and be around. You mean to tell me that this girl with this … body and this face is also into style, and she’s a nice person, and she has her own money and is family-oriented? That’s just as cool as a … fighter jet or dinosaur! And just as rarely seen,” Kanye told GQ.
SHE SAYS: “He really is the most romantic sweetest person I’ve ever met in my entire life. When I first met him, we worked on a project together and there was definitely a spark, but we were in other relationships and we kept our distance,” she told E! News.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson
2021: PETE DAVIDSON
WHO HE IS: Pete is a comedian who starred on Saturday Night Live. The funnyman has also appeared on MTV’s Guy Code, Wild ‘n Out and more. In the past, he’s been romantically linked to stars like Cazzie David, Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, Kaia Gerber and Phoebe Dynevor. He was also briefly engaged to Ariana Grande in 2018.
THEIR RELATIONSHIP: Dating rumors first began swirling in October 2021 after the pair shared an onscreen kiss when Kim hosted SNL. They were later spotted holding hands on a rollercoaster at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. By November, she was seen in his native Staten Island, where they enjoyed back-to-back dinners.
While their relationship started as a “cool friendship,” an insider told Life & Style on November 6 that they are “dating.”
“Kim never expected this. Pete makes her laugh. She has fun with him,” gushed the insider.
“I have the cutest pictures of us and I want to be like, ‘Oh my God, we’re so cute.’ But then I’m like, ‘Don’t be so desperate. Don’t be posting so much, just give a glimpse,'” Kim revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in March 2022. “I don’t know what the right thing to do is, like I haven’t dated since before Instagram existed. Yeah, I don’t know what the rules are.”
However, their romance fizzled out by the summer of 2022, as multiple sources confirmed to Life & Style in August of that year that Kim and Pete “amicably split.”

Kim Kardashian and ‘Fred’
2023: ‘FRED,’ REAL IDENTITY UNKNOWN
WHO HE IS: In The Kardashians season 3 episode 3, titled “Everything Is My Fault!”, Kim revealed to Scott Disick that her friends set her up with a new man. She didn’t say his name, however, referring to him only as “Fred” at Scott’s suggestion.
THEIR RELATIONSHIP: Kim told Scott that she took “Fred” to one of her go-to spots in New York City in October 2022. Scott asked if “Fred” meets the standards, to which Kim replied, “Oh, so meets the standards.’ In a confessional, Kim was also caught smiling at her phone as she texted “Fred.”
In May 2023, a source told Us Weekly that Kim wasn’t “officially dating anybody,” but “there is somebody who she’s interested in.” She and the mystery man had been “flirting,” but they hadn’t gone out yet, so it’s unclear if this person and “Fred” are one and the same.
“She knows once she’s seen on a date then things get blown out of proportion quickly, but there is somebody special she has her eye on so she’s excited about where things could go,” the source said.
