Damon Thomas - Kim made her third trip down the aisle when she married Kanye last year, but her first was with music producer Damon Thomas. Kim and Damon were married from 2001 until 2004, during which time she was a self-proclaimed "housewife" whose primary responsibility was to take care of her man.

Ray J - Thomas may have been the first one to get her down the aisle, but, as this R&B singer takes every opportunity to remind us, he's the one that hit it first — at least on video. Kim's sex tape co-star is no doubt the bane of her existing these days, but, let's give credit where credit is due, he is at least partially responsible for making her a superstar. And considering Kim has reportedly netted nearly $10 million from the just the tape itself over the years, we think Ray deserves to go back on her Christmas card list.

Reggie Bush - The NFL player was the love of Kim's life for three years, from 2007 until 2010 (with a brief time-out in 2009), but Reggie's low-key lifestyle and Kim's paparazzi parade ultimately were incompatible. And, if you believe Amber Rose, there may have also been a dalliance between Kim and Kanye during her relationship with the Detroit Lions player. Still, Kim did seem to really love her athlete ex, who is now married to and has a baby with her look-a-like Lilit Avagyan. (Photo: Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images)

Kris Humphries - The second time wasn't exactly a charm for Kim. Less than a year after her split from Bush, the reality star married NBA player Humphries in a lavish — and televised, naturally — ceremony in Montecito, Cali. The marriage unraveled even before all the wedding gifts were unwrapped, lasting just 72 days. The whole sordid tale was captured by E! cameras for Kim's reality show, though Humphries fought hard to make Kim admit the marriage, and the way he was portrayed after, was a fraud.

Chanel Iman - Whether or not Kanye actually dated this supermodel or just used her to deflect attention from his nascent relationship with Kim Kardashian isn't exactly clear. But Kanye and Chanel were spotted looking friendly all over Paris in early 2012. In fact, Kanye gave Chanel the same pair of $6000 pearl stilletos he designed for Kim. But before the rumors could really take off, Chanel coupled up with A$AP Rocky and she and Yeezy remain friends.  (Photo: Mike Marsland/WireImage)

Amber Rose, @DaRealAmberRose - Tweet: "I almost peed on myself when Red Hot Chili Peppers came on. That s--t was amazing"Bruno Mars' Super Bowl XLVIII halftime performance featured a surprise appearance from the revered rock band the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It almost shocked Amber Rose into a late-night clean up. #toobadtheyfakedit (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

Amber Rose - Kanye dated Amber Rose for just over a year, from 2009 until 2010, during which time he paraded the bald goddess on every red carpet from Los Angeles to Paris. Rose, who went on to marry and start a family with Wiz Khalifa, was West's original muse, but turned off her ex after their split when she revealed his dirty secrets — and cheating ways — to the whole world. But Amber isn't the only one doing the mudslinging. Yeezy went on the Breakfast Club and slut-shamed his ex, saying he needed to "take thirty showers before getting with Kim." Their public feud is far from over: Amber recently retaliated by revealing Yeezy's alleged ghost writer is Travi$ Scott. This battle clearly has a few more rounds. (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)
