It all began in April 2012 when they first started dating.

On May 24, 2014, the couple tied the knot and got married.

The famous couple, Kim Kardashian and rapper Kanye West, got married in 2014 at Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy after a weeklong celebration in Paris.

Kim later revealed in September 2015 that they faced pregnancy complications during their journey to have another child.

Kim Kardashian is known for being open with her fans, and she didn’t hold back when it came to discussing her fertility struggles. In an interview with C Magazine, she revealed the complications she faced during her first pregnancy, including a condition called placenta accreta.

In February 2016, when Kanye went on a Twitter rant against Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose, Kim responded calmly and diplomatically.

Kim enjoys self-promotion but does not approve of Twitter drama. On March 28th, 2016, Kanye released his song “Famous” and started another feud with Taylor Swift.

In March 2016, Kanye West launched his new album The Life of Pablo which included the controversial single “Famous”. The song attracted criticism from Taylor Swift due to its suggestive lyrics (“I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous”) that targeted the pop star. Despite West’s claim that he had consulted with Swift before the release of the song, he didn’t inform her about the specific words that referred to her as ‘that bitch’. According to a spokesperson for Swift, she warned him against using misogynistic language in his music. However, on July 17, 2016, Kim Kardashian defended West’s song in a Snapchat video.
