Marriages

In 2000, 19-year-old Kardashian eloped with music producer Damon Thomas.[114] Thomas filed for divorce in 2003. Kardashian later credited their separation to physical and emotional abuse on his part.[115] Prior to the completion of her divorce, Kardashian began dating singer Ray J.[114]

In May 2011, Kardashian became engaged to NBA player Kris Humphries, then of the New Jersey Nets, whom she had been dating since October 2010.[116] They were married in a wedding ceremony on August 20 in Montecito, California.[117] Earlier that month, she had released her "wedding fragrance" called "Kim Kardashian Love" which coincided with her own wedding.[40][118] A two-part TV special showing the preparations and the wedding itself aired on E! in early October 2011, amidst what The Washington Post called a "media blitz" related to the wedding.[119] After 72 days of marriage, she filed for divorce from Humphries on October 31, citing irreconcilable differences.[120] Several news outlets surmised that Kardashian's marriage to Humphries was merely a publicity stunt, to promote the Kardashian family's brand and their subsequent television ventures.[121] A man professing to be her former publicist, Jonathan Jaxson, also claimed that her short-lived marriage was indeed staged and a ploy to generate money. Kardashian filed suit against Jaxson, saying his claims were untrue, and subsequently settled the case which included an apology from Jaxson.[122] A widely circulated petition asking to remove all Kardashian-related programming from the air followed the split.[123] The divorce was subject to widespread media attention.[124]

Kardashian began dating American rapper and longtime friend Kanye West in April 2012, while still legally married to Humphries.[125] Her divorce was finalized on June 3, 2013,[126] while Kardashian gave birth to her first child with West, daughter North West, on June 15, 2013.[127] Kardashian and West became engaged on October 21, Kardashian's 33rd birthday,[128] and married on May 24, 2014 at Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy.[129] Her wedding dress was designed by Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy[130] with some guests' dresses designed by designer Michael Costello.[131] In April 2015, Kardashian and West traveled to the Armenian Quarter of the Old City in Jerusalem to have their daughter, North, baptized in the Armenian Apostolic Church. The ceremony took place at the Cathedral of St. James.[132] Khloe Kardashian was appointed the godmother of North.[133] Kardashian gave birth to her second child, son Saint West, on December 5, 2015.[134] The couple's high status and respective careers have resulted in their relationship becoming subject to heavy media coverage; The New York Times referred to their marriage as "a historic blizzard of celebrity."[6]

The couple's third child, a daughter, was born via surrogate on January 15, 2018 at 12:47 a.m. PST, weighing 7 lbs., 6 oz.[135] On January 19, 2018, her name was announced as Chicago West.[136][137]

Wealth

As of May 2014, Kardashian was estimated to be worth US$45 million.[138] In 2015, Forbes reported she had "made more this year than ever as her earnings nearly doubled to $53 million from 2014's $28 million," and reported that she "has monetized fame better than any other."[139] Much of her income include wholesale earnings of the Sears l
