Kim Kardashian
The daughter of one of O.J. Simpson‘s head trial lawyers, Robert Kardashian, Kim Kardashian first hit the scene as one of Paris Hilton‘s party pals. The socialite, born October 21, 1980, became known outside the gossip circuit when a sex tape featuring her and her then-boyfriend, rapper Ray J, appeared on the internet in 2006.
In 2007, Kim — along with sisters Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian, brother Rob Kardashian, mom Kris Jenner, stepparent Caitlyn Jenner and stepsisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner — became the subject of an E! reality show titled Keeping Up With the Kardashians. The show launched the family into extraordinary fame as it delved into their personal lives and chronicled the sisters’ work on their co-owned clothing store, Dash.
In 2015, Kim published Selfish, a coffee-table book of her selfies, followed by Selfish: More Me! With New Selfies 2015-2016 one year later. She launched her own makeup line, KKW Beauty, in 2017 and continued her business success with Skims, a shapewear and underwear line, in 2019. Kim officially achieved billionaire status in April 2021.
Following in her late father’s footsteps, Kim is studying to be a lawyer and hopes to take the bar in 2025. She is passionate about criminal justice reform and has advocated for clemency for several prisoners, including Alice Marie Johnson, who was released from federal prison in 2018
Following her romance with Ray J, Kim dated NFL star Reggie Bush and NBA player Kris Humphries. She was famously married to Humphries for 72 days in 2011 before exchanging vows with rapper Kanye West in 2014.
The pair share four children: daughter North (born in June 2013), son Saint (born in December 2015), daughter Chicago (born January 2018, via surrogate) and son Psalm (born May 2019, via surrogate). Kim filed for divorce in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage. The proceedings were finalized in November 2022.
Amid her divorce, Kim confirmed her relationship with comedian Pete Davidson in November 2021 after sparking romance rumors one month prior. Us Weekly confirmed in August 2022 that Pete and Kim had “amicably” called it quits after nine months of dating.
After KUWTK came to an end in 2021, the famous family moved to streaming with their new series, The Kardashians, which premiered on Hulu in April 2022. The show picks up where its predecessor left off, with higher production value and more of a docuseries style.
