Who has Kim Kardashian dated? From her divorce with husband Kanye West to her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries - here's a conclusive list of Kim's relationships.

Kim Kardashian has called it quits from new boyfriend Odell Beckham Jr following a year-long quiet romance after the split from Pete Davidson and divorce from Kanye West.

So, from her infamous relationship with R&B singer Ray J to her whirlwind 72 day marriage to Kris Humphries, here's a comprehensive list of Kim Kardashian's previous romances.

Odell Beckham Jr

As of September 2023, Kim Kardashian was reportedly 'hanging out' with 31-year-old football player Odell Beckham Jr.
Beckham Jr allegedly split from longtime girlfriend Lauren Wood, who has a 1-year-old son named Zydn with the model.
In March 2024, sources claim that the pair have parted ways, and are "Not seeing each other anymore right now."
This shock announcement comes just weeks after the pair were papped looking cosy at an Academy Awards after party earlier in March.

A source tells ET, "Kim and Odell have been doing their own things lately. Kim is so busy and hasn't been putting any pressure on herself to be committed to anyone or in a serious relationship. She is all about being a hands-on mom."
The source adds, "Kim and Odell have always been open and honest about their future, whether that be together or separate. They had a good thing and there aren't any hard feelings on either side. They started as friends and still are. They will continue to be respectful of each other's spaces, careers, families, and friends."
Tom Brady

Kim Kardashian has a new rumoured flame - NFL player Tom Brady, who recently divorced supermodel Gisele Bündchen.
Fans started speculating on the news after the reality star has been looking at properties in Baker’s Bay Golf & Ocean Club in the Bahamas, and sought out advice from Brady.
A source told Page Six that: "Kim and Tom are friendly. She phoned him and asked him for his advice on Baker’s Bay."

Another insider added that Kim is "very familiar" in the community and has "been eyeing property there for quite some time."
However, the source mentioned that there is currently "no romance" between the two of them, and that they are "friendly."

They added that Tom is "exactly her type."

In March of this year, Pete and Kim became Instagram official and tattooed her name on his chest.
The duo attended the Met Gala together in May and were inseparable until Pete moved to Australia to shoot a new film.
Although Kim made a whirlwind visit to the country, it appears that long-distance and the pressures of a relationship lost their 'spark', and the pair have now separated.

Van Jones

After rumours surfaced of her alleged divorce from Kanye, Kim was quickly linked to CNN reporter Van Jones, 52, as fans scrambled to guess who she would date post-Yeezy.
Jones, whose real name is Anthony Kapel Jones, was spotted with Kim at the Criminal Justice Reform Summit in 2018, and the photos soon began spreading between fans online.
So far, it looks like the rumour is just that - a rumour.
In May 2021, Jones mused that Kim will make an "unbelievable attorney". During an appearance on The Ellen Show, he said, "She’s already I think one of the best advocates that we have in criminal justice."
"I think she has used her platform to help people behind bars," he added, before noting that the reality star is following in the footsteps of her father, Robert Kardashian.
"Her dad was a lawyer and she always wanted to be a lawyer and so she decided, once she got a taste of what she can do using her platform, using her brain, she hasn’t let up," he said.
Kim addressed the rumours during the Keeping Up With The Kardashians reunion show, insisting that the pair are just friends.
"Van texted me and was like, "This rumour has gotten me so many dates and I'm so grateful, So I owe you,"" she said, before addressing the speculation that she was dating singer Maluma.
"I'm not dating either one. Not Van Jones, not Maluma," Kim stated. "I've known [Maluma]. I've seen him a few times, always in Miami. Such a nice guy."

In 2012, Kim began dating longtime friend Kanye West while still legally married to NBA player Kris Humphries, and the rest is history.
A year later, West proposed to Kim inside a baseball stadium in San Francisco, and the pair married at Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy in 2014.
Kim and Kanye have four children; daughter North (born June 15, 2013), son Saint (born December 5, 2015), daughter Chicago (born January 15, 2018), and son Psalm (born May 9, 2019).
They share a mansion in Calabasas, California worth around $60 million, as well as various other properties including West's $14 million ranch in Wyoming.
Kim and Kanye have faced their fair share of divorce rumours dating back to 2016 amid Kanye's public mental health battle.
However, it's been reported that Kim has hired celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser to get the wheels in motion.
Kris Humphries

In October 2010, Kim began dating NBA player Kris Humphries, who was playing for the New Jersey Jets at the time. Seven months later, the pair were engaged.
Their whirlwind wedding was the centre of a two-part television special and reportedly cost around $10 million. However, after just 72 days of marriage, Kim filed for divorce from Humphries, citing irreconcilable differences.
The divorce resulted in media uproar as the wedding was widely hailed a 'cash grab' and merely a publicity stunt to generate money.
Despite this, Kris later confirmed that the relationship was "100% real". Kim also revealed that she rushed her marriage to Kris after panicking about turning 30.
The divorce was finalised in June 2013.
Reggie Bush

Nick Cannon

After her three-year relationship with Ray J broke down, Kim began dating rapper and television host Nick Cannon in late 2006.
Kim was still working as socialite Paris Hilton's assistant at the time, while Cannon was becoming a television mainstay with his new show Wild ‘N Out.
They split in January 2007, one month before Kim's infamous sex tape with Ray J leaked. Years after their split, Cannon explained how their relationship broke down after she lied to him about the existence of the tape.
"She’s actually one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. But the fact that she lied and told me that there was no tape? And I still think she might have even had a part to play with [its release]," he said.
Ray J

Kim dated R&B singer Ray J, Brandy Norwood’s younger brother, from 2003 to 2006, as her divorce from Damon Thomas was being finalised. Kim was working as Brandy's stylist at the time.
A year after their split, a sex tape of Kim and Ray J titled Kim Kardashian Superstar leaked online, which catapulted Kim into the limelight.
Kim denied any involvement with the tape's distribution. She sued and settled with Vivid Entertainment, who reportedly paid millions for the footage, for $5 million.
That same year, Kim and her family - sisters Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie, brother Rob, mother Kris and stepfather Bruce, now Caitlyn - began starring in their era-defining E! reality show Keeping up With The Kardashians, which enters its final season in 2021.
Kim has faced public scrutiny since the emergence of the tape, with some rumours claiming she and mother Kris were involved in its distribution from the start.
Damon Thomas

In 2000, 19-year-old Kim eloped with music producer Damon Thomas, who was ten years her senior.
She has since revealed she was high on ecstasy during the ceremony.
Thomas filed for divorce three years later, with Kardashian later blaming their split on his alleged abusive behaviour, which Thomas denies.
Reports claim Damon was "extremely controlling", with Kim once revealing, "Damon decided what we would do and when we would do it. He was very much the king of the castle."
He allegedly controlled who she spoke to, demanded to know where she was, and even encouraged her to get plastic surgery. He also reportedly became physically abusive and tried to drive a wedge between Kim and her sisters.
