Kim Kardashian’s Most Public Relationships, From Early Marriage to Recent Rumors

Kim Kardashian has experienced three marriages and several highly public relationships since the late 1990s. Her partners have included music producers, athletes, musicians and comedians. Because much of her adult life has unfolded on reality television, even relatively brief romances have sometimes become major entertainment stories.

No reliable list can identify everyone she has privately dated. Some names were confirmed by Kardashian or the other person, while others came from anonymous sources or isolated sightings. The clearest overview therefore focuses on relationships supported by public statements and established reporting, while labeling newer connections as reported or rumored.

Damon Thomas

Kardashian married music producer Damon Thomas in 2000, when she was 19. The relationship ended several years later, with their divorce finalized in 2004. Kardashian has since described the marriage as a difficult period from her early adulthood. Thomas has disputed parts of her account, showing why retrospective descriptions from either former spouse should be clearly attributed rather than treated as uncontested fact.

Kardashian dated singer Ray J during the early 2000s. She was later linked with singer Nick Lachey, who said they went on a date but questioned whether it became a serious relationship. She also dated Nick Cannon before ending the relationship in 2007. These early connections occurred before Keeping Up with the Kardashians turned her family into international television stars.

Reggie Bush

Kardashian began an on-and-off relationship with NFL player Reggie Bush in 2007. Their romance appeared regularly on her family’s reality program before ending in 2010. She later dated Dallas Cowboys player Miles Austin for several months. These relationships established the pattern of intense press interest around Kardashian’s dating life, particularly when her partners were already prominent professional athletes.

Kris Humphries

Kardashian married NBA player Kris Humphries on August 20, 2011, after dating for less than a year. She filed for divorce 72 days later, beginning a legal process that lasted far longer than the marriage. Humphries later said the relationship had been genuine from his perspective. Their divorce was finalized in June 2013, after Kardashian had begun a relationship with Kanye West.

Kardashian and West began dating in 2012 and married in Italy in 2014. They welcomed four children: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021, and the former couple’s divorce was finalized in November 2022. Their relationship remains her longest and most consequential public partnership because of their children, businesses and enormous combined cultural influence.

Kardashian began dating comedian Pete Davidson after hosting Saturday Night Live in October 2021. The unexpected pairing became a major celebrity story and lasted about nine months before they separated in August 2022. Kardashian later spoke warmly about Davidson, and People reported that the former couple occasionally remained in contact without suggesting they had restarted their romance.

Odell Beckham Jr.

Kardashian was linked with NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. during 2023 and early 2024. People described their connection as a relationship, although they made few public statements and did not build a highly visible couple identity. Reports said they separated in spring 2024. The limited confirmation surrounding the romance makes it different from Kardashian’s marriages or her openly documented relationship with Davidson.

Kim Kardashian’s Recent Dating Rumors

In early 2026, People reported that Kardashian and Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton had a romantic meeting in Europe. Neither publicly confirmed a committed relationship, making it inaccurate to place Hamilton beside her former husband as an established partner. Kardashian’s current relationship status remains private, and recent rumors should not be presented as proof that she is seriously dating someone.
