Known as Kimye, the couple has known each other since 2004. They first met while Kardashian was married to music producer Damon Thomas and working as Brandy’s assistant. While on the Kris Jenner talk show in August 2013, West admitted that it was love at first sight and since then has “dreamed of being next to her.”

“I was in love with her before I even got to talk to her,” the rapper continued.

West and Kardashian dated other people between 2004 and 2011. West was once engaged to Alexis Phifer and dated Amber Rose, while Kardashian dated Reggie Bush, Miles Austin, Gabriel Aubry and was also married Kris Humphries.

Kardashian and West were seen in public together in 2012, shortly after the reality TV star filed for divorce from Humphries. The two were spotted front row “hanging out” at Paris Fashion Week in March 2012.

Since then the two have been inseparable. “I love this woman. I’m being with this woman because i love this person and its worth it to me,” West told Kris Jenner.

The couple closed the year by announcing that they were expecting their first baby. ‘Ye shouted out “my baby mama” at his show in Atlantic City, N.J., on Dec. 30. Kardashian gave birth to a healthy baby girl, North West, on June 15 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

In October 2013, ‘Ye surprised Kardashian on her 33rd birthday and proposed to her before her family and friends at San Francisco’s AT&T Park. With an orchestra playing, he popped the question and a gorgeous 15-carat diamond ring.
