KANYE West and Kim Kardashian are hands down the world’s most talked-about celeb couple – and celeb parents.
When they are not in the public eye, they’re making babies. But when did the pair tie the knot and how many sprogs do they have?
Internet and reality star Kim Kardashian, 39, started dating rapper Kanye West, 42, in April 2012, six months after she split from NBA player Kris Humphries.
At the time, Kim was still married to Humphries because her divorce wasn’t finalised until June 2013.
This divorce came less than a fortnight before the birth of North West, her and Kanye’s first child.
When North was eleven months old, parents Kim and Kanye got married in a lavish ceremony on May 24, 2014.
Kanye had proposed by hiring out a baseball stadium and having “PLEEEASE MARRY MEEE!!!!” written in neon lights on the scoreboard.
Following a party in Paris, the wedding took place at Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy – the city where North had been conceived – with an Italian tenor serenading them as they tied the knot.
Kim was wearing a Givenchy dress designed by Riccardo Tisci – though she changed dresses four times during the day – while Michael Costello designed many of the guests’ outfits.
Kanye wanted Jay Z to be his Best Man but his fellow rapper snubbed the wedding so Kanye’s manager stepped in.
Yet, there were still plenty of world-famous celebrities in attendance, including John Legend and wife Chrissy Teigen, Jaden Smith – son of Will – tennis superstar Serena Williams and NBA ace Carmelo Anthony.
Kim Kardashian’s marriage to Kanye West is her third, having previously been wedded to Damon Thomas and Kris Humphries.
She eloped with music producer Thomas when she was just 19 in 2000, before divorcing three years later with Kim K blaming their split on emotional and physical abuse on his part.
The reality TV star then married NBA star Kris Humphries on August 20, 2011 – but they filed for a divorce just 72 days later.
As for Kanye, Kim is his first wife, but not his first fiancee.
The rapper was previously engaged to Alexis Phifer, but they ended it after 18 months in 2008.
Kim and Kanye have four children with their first – a daughter – North, who will be seven on June 15, 2020.
Their second child – son Saint – was born on December 5, 2015, making him four years old.
The pair then welcomed their third baby – and second daughter – Chicago, via a surrogate, on January 16, 2018.
Kim K and Kanye made it four a year later – again through surrogacy – as son Psalm was born on May 9, 2019.
