Kim Kardashian: Love affairs!

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Kim K finally tied the knot with beau Kanye West. This is Kim's third marriage as she married the hip hop artist in Florence, Italy in a star studded extravagant ceremony, where she looked like a million bucks. But before she married Kanye, the most Googled celebrity in 2008 was romantically involved with a string of men before she said 'I Do' to Kanye in the midst of the entire Kardashian family and Kanye's celebrity friends! J. Jackson, Michael Jackson's nephew, was allegedly the first guy Kim dated and he is said to be her first love. But that was a story soon forgotten as she would find love many times over! Here's a look at the men Kim Kardashian dated so far.

Kim Kardashian was a reality TV star who debuted with the series called Keeping up with the Kardashians. Her love life has been a subject of media scrutiny and under the public's eye. Although Kim did not have a starry childhood or upbringing, she made it to stardom thanks to her famous sex tape. But at the tender age of 19, Kim eloped and tied the knot with music producer Damon Thomas in 2000. The couple were married for a period of three years before they called it quits. It is alleged that Damon divorced her for cheating on him with other men. Kim was not so famous back then but that did not stop her from dating high profile men. She would soon find love in the arms of Ray J.

Ray J- Kim Kardashian dated R&B singer Ray J for three years and little did the reality TV star know that she was going to catapult to fame overnight! In 2007, an adult film company called Vivid Entertainment got its hands on a sex tape of Kim Kardashian and boyfriend Ray J in bed. The company paid $1 million for this 30 minute tape that was named Kim Kardashian Superstar. Kim was not one to keep quiet and filed a lawsuit claiming it was invasion of her privacy, but she finally agreed to a $5 million settlement. In her defence, Kim Kardashian later said on The Tyra Banks Show. "Your reputation is all that you have, and if people prejudge you over something that you did, than that kind of sticks with you a long time." It seems like the sex tape worked in her favour because suddenly, everybody sat up and took notice of Kim. Never mind that her relationship with Ray J went kaput! Kim had arrived and became a star overnight! But this relationship was followed by another one.

Nick Lachey- Kim was once again linked to Nick Lachey, the famous singer from the band 98 Degrees. Nick had divorced his first wife Jessica Simpson and before he tied the knot once again with Vanessa Minnillo, he was photographed with Kim K. Nick alleges that Kim Kardashian got famous because of him. In an interview to Details magazine, the singer had suggested that when he dated Kim (it was only a week), they went to the movies and no one seemed to follow them but suddenly, once the movie got over, 30 photographers were waiting outside to picture them together. Nick was perhaps hinting at the fact that Kim had called them. Talking about this relationship, Kim had written in her 2010 book, Kardashian Konfidential, "It 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." Irrespective of the claims made by both, this relationship was perhaps one of the shortest lived ones for Kim.

Nick Cannon- Before actor/comedian Nick Cannon married noted singer Mariah Carey, he was romantically involved with Kim K. As per media reports, it is alleged that Nick left Kim because she had lied to him about her sex tape with noted R&B singer Ray J. Nick and Kim were dating around mid 2000 but called it quits. Nick married Mariah Carey and it is said the famous singer does not know who Kim K is? In an interview on Howard Stern’s radio show he claimed that his wife did not who the reality star was. Who was she kidding? Kim is one of the most famous personalities on TV!

Reggie Bush-Kim dated NFL star Reggie Bush and it is said that reality star was in a serious relationship with him. They dated on and off for two years before splitting in 2009. Apparently, he was her first high profile relationship that made her a bigger star. But even after the split, Bush who is now dating Lilit Avagyan, his fiancée and baby mama, was supportive of Kim when she divorced her second husband Kris Humphries. Kim's relationship with Reggie was one of the meaningful ones and the reality star even spoke about him on her show, Keeping up with the Kardashians. But destiny had other plans for Kim when she found love in the arms of Kris Humphries.

Kris Humphries- After her break up with Reggie, Kim dated Dallas Cowboys player Austin in the summer of 2010. But they too split and then she was linked to her bodyguard Shengo Deane. Kim also briefly dated a model in late 2010 but the relationship went kaput. But finally, it seemed that Kim found love with Brooklyn Nets basketball player Kris Humphries in 2010. This was one of the most talked about high profile relationships that came under media scrutiny. Kim and Kris started dating in 2010 and got engaged within a year in 2011. The couple also tied the knot in 2011 in Montecito, California and it was one of the most awaited weddings ever! But sadly, Kim and Kris called off their wedding after 72 days of being married. They even got into a bitter legal battle and 536 days after splitting, the two reached on a settlement. This was Kim's second and most short lived marriage.

Kanye West- American hip hop recording artist, songwriter, record producer, film director, entrepreneur and fashion designer is said to have always been in love with Kim K, from the moment he laid eyes on her. Many of his song lyrics talk about his feelings for Kim and her dating history. It is even alleged that Kanye, who apparently fell in love with Kim many years ago, when she was not even famous, refused to watch her sex tape with former boyfriend Ray J. Kanye had to wait and watch as Kim dated a string of men, including a marriage to Kris Humphries. Kim and Kanye have been friends for many years but began dating in April 2012 and guess his patience finally paid off. In December 2012, he announced during a concert that Kim was pregnant with their child. North West was born in June 2013 and the duo finally tied the knot this month at Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy. This has been a big high profile wedding with the who's who from the music industry making their presence felt at the wedding ceremony. Kim's had a long celebration including a bachelorette party in Paris, before saying 'I Do' for a third time. Speaking about his relationship with Kim, Kanye had said in an interview to Kim's mom Kris on her show, Kris, that he was in love with her even before he spoke to her. This is truly a wedding tale that will go down in history and a fairy tale love story that will inspire many more couples.
