Kim Kardashian has had a long and complicated past with ex-boyfriends and former husbands including the likes of Pete Davidson, Kanye West, Kris Humphries and Damon Thomas.
However, despite being unlucky in love so far, the mother of four has aired her hopes of finding true love once more on the family show, The Kardashians, and in the meantime is keeping busy with her prison-reform campaign, TV roles and fashion events like the recent Met Gala.
Following her most recent break up with Odell Beckham Jr, and a divorce from rapper Kanye, Kim is reportedly less interested in the dating scene and is focused on being a 'hands-on mum'.

Their marriage lasted three years from 2000 to 2003, with Kim claiming in the divorce papers he had become controlling.
Although Kim rarely spoke about their relationship, she did reveal to Scott Discick in an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians she was “on ecstasy” when she married Damon.

Now best known as the rapper who made a sex tape with Kim, Ray J dated the reality TV queen on and off from 2002 until 2007, which is when the singer is said to have sold their, erm, intimate video.

Kim Kardashian and Nick Cannon
Kim and TV presenter Nick dated from 2006 to 2007 and apparently split over the sex tape she’d made with Ray J.
Nick, who shares two children with ex-wife Mariah Carey, said on The Howard Stern Show: “This was my issue. We talked about this tape…And she told me there was no tape… She’s actually one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. But the fact that she lied and told me that there was no tape?”
Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush
Kim and NFL star Reggie dated from 2007 to 2009 before breaking up and later reuniting, but they eventually ended amicably.
Kim Kardashian and Miles Austin
Despite branding their romance “the real deal”, Kim and American football player Miles split in 2010 following a long-distance romance.
According to People there was “no huge reason except their distance apart” that led to their split.

Pete made a brief appearance in The Kardashians season two, which began filming before they went their separate ways.
Pete and Kim broke up after they had to make things work long-distance while he was working on a film in Australia. According to Entertainment Tonight their schedules became so busy the spark between them had 'faded'.
