Kim Kardashian and Kanye West: a relationship timeline


Sophie Prideaux
  • English
  • Arabic

Over the course of their nine-year relationship, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West did, whatever your opinion of them, become one of the most famous couples on the planet.

Kardashian, with her reality television empire and undoubtable star power, and West, with his Grammy-winning rap career and intent for world domination, were a match made in Hollywood heaven. Their combined empires catapulted them to the top of just about every celebrity gossip sheet going.

While they may still be prime tabloid fodder, they managed to earn the respect of the high-end fashion world, too, although West's recent string of controversial outbursts meant that his standing among fashion's elite severely declined, with labels including adidas and Balenciaga cutting ties with the star. Still, in years gone by, West's Yeezy label was launched at Paris Fashion Week. And Kardashian's star continues to soar, as her sell-out shapewear brand Skims is stocked at luxury retailers around the globe and she features on the runways and front pages of brands and magazines the world over.

Add into the mix their four children, and the past decade has been quite the evolution for the couple, who have just settled their divorce.

Here, we take a look back at the rise, and fall, of Kimye.

2003

It was in the early Noughties that Kardashian and West’s paths first crossed. At the time, Kardashian, who was married to record producer Damon Thomas, was working as an assistant to singer Brandy, the sister of RnB star Ray-J, who she went on to date after her split from Thomas the following year.

2008

In one of West's most random ventures (which is really saying something), he got Kardashian on board to star in his hip-hop comedy puppet show, Alligator Boots. While the show never actually was shown, clips of Kardashian's involvement in the project surfaced online years later. She was seen dressed as Princess Leia, while West and his puppet friend Beary White attempted some cheesy chat-up lines.

2009

A year after West and Beary White's failed attempts to woo Kardashian, he released a verse on Keri Hilson's Knock You Down, widely believe to be about the star, that implored her to leave her then-boyfriend, NFL player Reggie Bush.

2010

West made his first appearance on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, attending the opening of Kim and sister Kourtney's NYC Dash Boutique. In a clip from the show, Kim said: "Kanye and I have been good friends for a long time. He's someone that we definitely respect his fashion taste and his style and so we wanted him to come check out the store." At the time, she had just started dating NBA player Kris Humphries, who she famously went on to marry for only 72 days.

2012

The official start of Kimye. After years of trying, West finally bags the girl, and not long after releases his track Cold, which throws some serious shade at Kardashian's ex-husband. Humphries, at the time, played for the Brooklyn Nets, owned by West's friend and collaborator Jay-Z.

He raps on the track: “And I’ll admit, I had fell in love with Kim / Around the same time she had fell in love with him / Well that’s cool, baby girl, do ya thang / Lucky I ain’t had Jay drop him from the team.”

The year of Kimye was rounded off by West dropping the bombshell at a New Year’s Eve concert that the couple were expecting their first child together.

“It’s true! Kanye and I are expecting a baby,” Kardashian later confirmed in a post on her personal blog. “We feel so blessed and lucky and wish that in addition to both of our families, his mom and my dad could be here to celebrate this special time with us.

“Looking forward to great new beginnings in 2013 and to starting a family. Happy New Year!!! Xo.”

2013

In May, the couple attended the Met Gala together, when Kardashian was heavily pregnant. Her first time at the prestigious event, it was a big moment for Kardashian, who had officially taken her first steps into the world of the A-list, beginning to shed the skin of her reality television past.

A month later, on June 15, 2013, the couple welcomed their daughter, whose name, North West, caused a whole new media swarm.

Four months later, in October, West surprised Kardashian with a proposal at an empty AT&T Stadium in San Francisco. However, the entire Kardashian clan were hiding in the shadows waiting to surprise the star and, of course, the whole thing was filmed for KUWTK.

2014

Another big year for Kimye. In April, the pair got the call they had been waiting for – inviting them to appear on the cover of Vogue. Photographed in a bridal gown with her 15-carat engagement ring on show, they were deemed the "#worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple", which, by 2014, was not an overstatement.

A month later, on May 24, 2014, the pair tied the knot in Florence, Italy, in a wedding attended by 200 people and, of course, watched by millions more through the all-seeing eyes of the KUWTK cameras.

2015

In late 2015, following another difficult pregnancy for Kardashian, the couple welcomed their son, Saint West, born on December 5. The pair had spent the previous year dealing with fertility issues.

2016

A tumultuous year for the couple. West had some serious beef with Taylor Swift, who accused him of disrespecting her on his track Famous. Swift was unhappy with how her image had been used in the song's music video, however, Kardashian quickly leapt to her husband's defence, posting recordings of Swift supposedly giving West her permission to use the content.

Later that year, in October, Kardashian flew to the French capital for Paris Fashion Week, where she was held at gunpoint as her hotel room was raided by masked thieves. They escaped with $6.7 million worth of jewellery, including her prized engagement ring, leaving the star traumatised. West was performing in the US when he learnt of the robbery, cutting the show short to jump on a private jet to be at his wife's side.

In November, West was admitted to hospital after suffering from mental health issues and exhaustion.

2018

After the trauma of 2016, the couple remained quiet for 2017, reemerging in early 2018 to announce that they had welcomed their third child, Chicago West, via a surrogate, on January 15. Kardashian had been diagnosed with placenta accrete the previous year, making it difficult to conceive and carry another baby naturally.

Later that year, West confirmed he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and caused yet more media controversy after he made public comments deeming slavery as a choice. In an interview with TMZ, he said: "When you hear about slavery for 400 years ... for 400 years? That sounds like a choice."

It was in 2018 that he also publicly stated his support for President Donald Trump, appearing alongside him in the White House wearing a "Make America Great Again" cap.

2019

The couple announced they were expecting their fourth child via a surrogate in January 2019, with Psalm West arriving on May 9.

Shortly after his birth, the pair renewed their marriage vows.

2020

On American Independence Day, July 4, West announced his intention to officially run for president in the upcoming US election. Following the initial announcement, Kardashian showed her support for her husband, retweeting his post alongside a US flag emoji.

However, West’s mental health appeared to deteriorate as the year went on, leading to a series of erratic tweets from the star, in which he revealed a number of personal details about his wife and their family. He also claimed he was trying to divorce the star.

Kardashian later released a statement calling for "compassion and empathy" for her husband and his mental health.

"As many of you know, Kanye has bipolar disorder," she wrote, calling him a "brilliant but complicated person."

"Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words sometimes do not align with his intentions," Kardashian added.

Throughout the rest of 2020, the couple spent time together at the family's ranch in Wyoming, and holidayed together, including Kardashian's controversial private island 40th birthday trip.

2021

Kardashian filed for divorce from West, after reportedly hiring celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser. Reports suggest the couple had a prenuptial agreement, and that discussions on a property settlement are well advanced.

In the months following their split, the pair remained friendly as they navigated their co-parenting relationship. On October 21, Kardashian hosted Saturday Night Live, which she described as a momentous time in her career, and joked that she was divorcing West "for his personality". It was there she met comedian Pete Davidson, who she started dating shortly afterwards.

However, West made several public attempts to win his estranged wife back, including asking her to "run right back to him" during a December 9 concert in Los Angeles, for which Kardashian was in the audience with children North and Saint.

The following day, on December 10, Kardashian filed to be declared legally single.

2022

Things appeared to turn sour between the former couple at the start of the year. On March 1, Kardashian was declared officially single, despite an attempt from West's lawyers to contest the ruling.

West also made several public statements and social media posts concerning Kardashian's new boyfriend, culminating in the release of a disturbing music video on March 4, in which an animated version of West appears to kidnap and bury an animated version of Davidson alive. Kardashian was reported to be extremely upset and disturbed by the video.

However, the following month, Kardashian said during an ABC televised interview with Robin Roberts that she and West would "always be family".

"You have to just be there for them," she said. "No matter what, even in this crazy life that we live, you just have to have a really open dialogue with your children. Kanye and I have had conversations. We have to talk daily for the kids so you know, I hate that it had to play out like that. But when it comes to family, I mean, Kanye and I will always be family.

"At the end of the day, I just want my kids to be happy and healthy, and think the world of their dad," she said. "And they do."

In an episode of the star's Hulu reality show The Kardashians which was shown in June, she told her sister Khloe she had tried "everything humanly possible" to make her marriage work.

"If people knew what my relationship really was like, I think they would be like, 'How did this last this long?' " she said. "But I can live with myself knowing that I tried everything humanly possible to make a situation work and so I can walk away feeling absolutely guilt-free."

In September, West caused yet more controversy when he debuted a "White Lives Matter" slogan t-shirt at his Paris Fashion Week showcase, which attracted universal criticism. He also made anti-Semitic comments on social media, causing several brands including adidas and Balenciaga to cut ties with the star, causing him to lose his billionaire status overnight.

On November 29, the couple reached a settlement in their divorce, averting a trial that had been set for the next month.

The duo and their lawyers filed documents asking for a judge's approval of terms they have agreed on, including $200,000-per-month child support payments from Ye to Kardashian.

The two will have joint custody, and neither will pay the other spousal support, according to the documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. They will equally split the expenses for the children's private security and private school, including college, according to the settlement proposal.

Managing the separation process

  • Choose your nursery carefully in the first place
  • Relax – and hopefully your child will follow suit
  • Inform the staff in advance of your child’s likes and dislikes.
  • If you need some extra time to talk to the teachers, make an appointment a few days in advance, rather than attempting to chat on your child’s first day
  • The longer you stay, the more upset your child will become. As difficult as it is, walk away. Say a proper goodbye and reassure your child that you will be back
  • Be patient. Your child might love it one day and hate it the next
  • Stick at it. Don’t give up after the first day or week. It takes time for children to settle into a new routine.And, finally, don’t feel guilty.

Why does a queen bee feast only on royal jelly?

Some facts about bees:

The queen bee eats only royal jelly, an extraordinary food created by worker bees so she lives much longer

The life cycle of a worker bee is from 40-60 days

A queen bee lives for 3-5 years

This allows her to lay millions of eggs and allows the continuity of the bee colony

About 20,000 honey bees and one queen populate each hive

Honey is packed with vital vitamins, minerals, enzymes, water and anti-oxidants.

Apart from honey, five other products are royal jelly, the special food bees feed their queen 

Pollen is their protein source, a super food that is nutritious, rich in amino acids

Beewax is used to construct the combs. Due to its anti-fungal, anti-bacterial elements, it is used in skin treatments

Propolis, a resin-like material produced by bees is used to make hives. It has natural antibiotic qualities so works to sterilize hive,  protects from disease, keeps their home free from germs. Also used to treat sores, infection, warts

Bee venom is used by bees to protect themselves. Has anti-inflammatory properties, sometimes used to relieve conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, nerve and muscle pain

Honey, royal jelly, pollen have health enhancing qualities

The other three products are used for therapeutic purposes

Is beekeeping dangerous?

As long as you deal with bees gently, you will be safe, says Mohammed Al Najeh, who has worked with bees since he was a boy.

“The biggest mistake people make is they panic when they see a bee. They are small but smart creatures. If you move your hand quickly to hit the bees, this is an aggressive action and bees will defend themselves. They can sense the adrenalin in our body. But if we are calm, they are move away.”

Ten tax points to be aware of in 2026

1. Domestic VAT refund amendments: request your refund within five years

If a business does not apply for the refund on time, they lose their credit.

2. E-invoicing in the UAE

Businesses should continue preparing for the implementation of e-invoicing in the UAE, with 2026 a preparation and transition period ahead of phased mandatory adoption. 

3. More tax audits

Tax authorities are increasingly using data already available across multiple filings to identify audit risks. 

4. More beneficial VAT and excise tax penalty regime

Tax disputes are expected to become more frequent and more structured, with clearer administrative objection and appeal processes. The UAE has adopted a new penalty regime for VAT and excise disputes, which now mirrors the penalty regime for corporate tax.

5. Greater emphasis on statutory audit

There is a greater need for the accuracy of financial statements. The International Financial Reporting Standards standards need to be strictly adhered to and, as a result, the quality of the audits will need to increase.

6. Further transfer pricing enforcement

Transfer pricing enforcement, which refers to the practice of establishing prices for internal transactions between related entities, is expected to broaden in scope. The UAE will shortly open the possibility to negotiate advance pricing agreements, or essentially rulings for transfer pricing purposes. 

7. Limited time periods for audits

Recent amendments also introduce a default five-year limitation period for tax audits and assessments, subject to specific statutory exceptions. While the standard audit and assessment period is five years, this may be extended to up to 15 years in cases involving fraud or tax evasion. 

8. Pillar 2 implementation 

Many multinational groups will begin to feel the practical effect of the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT), the UAE's implementation of the OECD’s global minimum tax under Pillar 2. While the rules apply for financial years starting on or after January 1, 2025, it is 2026 that marks the transition to an operational phase.

9. Reduced compliance obligations for imported goods and services

Businesses that apply the reverse-charge mechanism for VAT purposes in the UAE may benefit from reduced compliance obligations. 

10. Substance and CbC reporting focus

Tax authorities are expected to continue strengthening the enforcement of economic substance and Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting frameworks. In the UAE, these regimes are increasingly being used as risk-assessment tools, providing tax authorities with a comprehensive view of multinational groups’ global footprints and enabling them to assess whether profits are aligned with real economic activity.

It's Monty Python's Crashing Rocket Circus

To the theme tune of the famous zany British comedy TV show, SpaceX has shown exactly what can go wrong when you try to land a rocket.

The two minute video posted on YouTube is a compilation of crashes and explosion as the company, created by billionaire Elon Musk, refined the technique of reusable space flight.

SpaceX is able to land its rockets on land  once they have completed the first stage of their mission, and is able to resuse them multiple times - a first for space flight.

But as the video, How Not to Land an Orbital Rocket Booster, demonstrates, it was a case if you fail, try and try again.
