TJ Jackson:
Nephew to Michael Jackson. Although TJ is now married and has children, but he was the first of many who stole Kim's heart. After a two year romance with Jackson in her teens, Kim went on to have several high profile relationships with a slew of famous faces.
Damon Thomas:
Second love ... Kim was just 19 when she met, and later married, music producer Damon Thomas and he was ten years her senior. The couple got hitched in 2000 but split in April three years later citing "irreconcilable differences". In divorce papers leaked in 2011, Kim claims that Damon was frequently violent during their union.
She said that on one occasion, Damon "threw me against the closet...Then he held me against the wall with his hands round my neck and threatened to choke me." Thomas denies all such claims - saying that Kim made up the claims to get "a lot of money" out of him.
He reminds Kim fans that she never filed for a restraining or protective order against him and it was in fact he who filed for divorce first. The reason? He caught Kim cheating on him "with multiple guys". He told In Touch magazine: "Kim is obsessed with fame. She can't write or sing or dance, so she does harmful things in order to validate herself in the media. That's a fame-whore to me." Damon also claims to have paid for extensive plastic surgery on the star - including a boob job and liposuction
Ray J:
We were like animals - sexually free to try anything, and we did." A minor star himself, Ray nevertheless, ahem, shot to fame in early 2007 when a pornographic home video of the couple was leaked on the web. Kim sued distributors Vivid Entertainment for ownership of the 2003 tape - allegedly stolen during a house move - but dropped the suit in April 2007 and settled with the company for £3million. Ray J claims Kim's clingy and overbearing attitude led to their split in 2006. He said: "She literally thought I was cheating with every girl I ran across."
Nick Lachey:
Fresh from a messy break-up with ex-wife Jessica Simpson, Nick, then 32, dated 25-year-old Kim briefly in 2006. The pair were spotted on several dates but were allegedly never serious. However, the press went wild about Nick's mystery woman and Kim got her first intoxicating taste of fame. She said in her 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." "So the next night I was out with Paris Hilton," she continues. "We were in her car and the paparazzi started taking pictures. Usually they would shout, 'Paris! Paris! Paris!' But they started yelling 'Kim! Kim! Kim!' I wanted to hide, and Paris and I just looked at each other and laughed." Nick began dating TV personality Vanessa Minnillo later that same year and the pair got hitched in July 2011.
Nick Cannon:
Nick Cannon dumped Kim after she lied about the existence of her sex tape. Still sore from her split from Ray J, Kim next dated America's Got Talent host Nick Cannon. The couple hooked up in late 2006 but split over the sex tape scandal in February 2007.
Nick told radio host Howard Stern that he dumped Kim for lying about the cheeky film's existence. He said: "We talked about this tape, and she told me there was no tape. “If she might have been honest with me I might have tried to hold her down and be like ‘That was before me,’ because she is a great girl. “But the fact that she lied and told me that there was no tape?”
Of course, while it lost her Nick's affection, Kim's mucky flick brought her fame. As the face that launched a thousand Google searches, Kim was one of the most talked-about women in showbiz. TV channel E! signed Kim and her entire family up for a reality show later that year. Keeping Up With The Kardashians debuted on the channel in October 2007 and was an instant ratings hit. Nick also moved on - he tied the knot with Mariah Carey in April 2008 and the couple had twins in April 2011.
Reggie Bush:
Pressure ... Kim was said to be keen to settle down with Reggie Bush Kim found love with football star Reggie Bush in late 2007 - and their relationship was one of the first highlights of KUWTK. As millions watched their every move, the New Orleans Saints star and Kim quickly became serious. Kim allegedly put pressure on Reggie to settle down and start a family but the then 22-year-old was not ready to commit. The pair split in March 2010 - but fueled rumours of a reconciliation in February last year when they were spotted on lunch dates and evenings out. However, Reggie then began dating Kim lookalike Lilit Avagyan and the couple announced they were expecting a baby in October 2012. Kim was said to be "upset" at the news, according to a source close to the family. The insider said: "Reggie was a part of the Kardashian family for over five years and deep down Kim has always held out hope that they would end up together, even though she married Kris Humphries." Reggie's decision to have a child with another woman was allegedly like "a slap in the face" to Kim.
Miles Austin:
Kris Humphries:
The couple's courtship made must-see viewing and over 4.7million people tuned in to see Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event in August 2011. But - surprise, surprise! - the couple's wedded bliss was short-lived. Just 72 days later, Kim is said to have "blindsided" her hubby by filing for divorce.
According to Kris's dad, William, the star found out about his doomed marriage in the press. In a hurriedly released statement of his own, Kris said: "I'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents." "I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce... I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work." Sadly, a reconciliation was not on the cards - and Kim began dating baby-daddy Kanye five months later in April 2012.
