Kardashian Kim

American socialite, model, actress and media celebrity, who first gained media attention as a friend and stylist of Paris Hilton but received wider notice after a 2002 sex tape, Kim Kardashian, Superstar, with her then-boyfriend Ray J was released in 2007. She then became known for her part in the reality program, Keeping Up with the Kardashians which aired from 2007 to 2021. Both critics and admirers have described Kardashian as exemplifying the notion of being famous for being famous. She was reported to be the highest-paid reality television personality of 2015, with her estimated total earnings exceeding US$53 million. Her father, Robert Kardashian, was one of the lawyers in the high-profile trial of OJ Simpson. Her parents divorced in 1989 and her mother re-married two years later, this time to Bruce Jenner, Olympic athlete, now known as Caitlyn Jenner. Kim Kardashian has had a number of relatively minor acting roles in various movies and television programs. She married Damon Thomas in 2000 and divorced him four years later. Her father died on 30 September 2003 of esophageal cancer. Kardashians elaborate wedding to basketball player Kris Humphries on 20 August 2011 did not last. Just a few months later, on 30 November, she announced her intention to divorce; he countered with his intention to seek a marriage annulment. Several news outlets surmised that Kardashians marriage to Humphries was merely a publicity stunt, to promote the Kardashian familys brand and their subsequent television ventures. Kardashian began dating American rapper and longtime friend Kanye West in April 2012, while still legally married to Humphries. Her divorce was finalized on 3 June 2013, while Kardashian gave birth to her first child with West, daughter North West, on 15 June 2013. Kardashian and West became engaged on 21 October 2013 and married on 24 May 2014 at Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy. Kardashian gave birth to her second child, son Saint West, on 5 December 2015. Her third and fourth children arrived via surrogate, daughter Chicago (born 15 January 2018) and son Psalm (9 May 2019). In January 2021, CNN reported that the couple were discussing divorce and on 19 February 2021, Kardashian officially filed for divorce. She has claimed that on 3 October 2016 in the early morning hours she was robbed of jewelry worth millions of dollars by gunmen in a hotel room in Paris, France. She subsequently received criticism that the robbery was a ploy to generate media attention. In April 2016, Ian Halperin alleged in his book Kardashian Dynasty that Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, had deliberately leaked the sex tape Kim Kardashian, Superstar, the notoriety of which helped launch her to stardom in 2007.
