“I met him I think in 2002 or 2003. He was recording a song with Brandy, and I was her friend. I vividly remember hanging out with him, and then they did a video together, so I’d see him a few times. He was asking his friends: ‘Who is this Kim Kardajan?’ He didn’t know what my name was.”

Through the 2000s, both Kim and Kanye had dated different people and had remained friends. They had even appeared together onscreen for the first time in 2008.

Kim Kardashian had married NBA pro, Kris Humphries in August 2011, only to call it quits after 72 days of their married life. In the anniversary special episode of KUWTK, Kim had recalled how her divorce from Kris had helped her discover her feelings for Kanye. She had said:

“Right before I got married to Kris Humphries, [Kanye and I] were talking, and I just went a different direction. I think I had to go through that to figure out what I wanted. After my breakup, I was feeling really low and down and he said, ‘Just come to Paris and see my fashion show.’ He jokes that he put on this whole fashion show just to get a date with me. So I went there and I stayed with him, and that’s where we started dating. I swear from the moment I landed, I fell madly in love with him and I thought, ‘Oh, my God, why didn’t I do this sooner?’ Like, this is what real life is like — love and fun and real support.”
