With an age gap of 10 years between them, Kim was just 19 when she married music producer Damon Thomas.

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.

Talk of their relationship re-surfaced recently, when Ray J claimed a second sex tape of them together exists and that Kim has always had possession of the tapes.

Kim and Pete dated for nine months before deciding to call it quits at the start of August.

Rumours began to whirr online about their relationship at the beginning of November after Kim and Pete Davidson were spotted celebrating Halloween together days after her SNL debut.

Speculation around their romance swirled for months before Kim finally decided to post about her new boyfriend on Instagram, but other than the odd social media post they pretty much kept their relationship out of the limelight.

That was, however, until Kim began filming for The Kardashians season two. Pete is thought to have made a brief appearance in the upcoming series, 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'.
