Childhood and Family

Kim Kardashian was born in California, Los Angeles, on October 21, 1980. She has Armenian heritage on her father's side, as well as Dutch and Scottish ancestry from her mother's side. Kim herself says she's half Armenian (a quarter Russian and a quarter Turkish Armenian), and a quarter Dutch and a quarter Scottish.

The future celebrity's childhood was spent in fashionable Beverly Hills. Kim's father was well-known lawyer Robert Kardashian, who defended actor and football player O.J. Simpson when he was accused of murdering his ex-wife and her lover. There was quite a lot of evidence against him. However, O.J. Simpson was acquitted largely thanks to Kardashian. Kim's father passed away in 2003.

Kim Kardashian's mom is socialite Kris Jenner, who now serves as her daughter's manager. Her parents divorced when Kim was only 9 years old. Two years later, her mother remarried former Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner.

Kim Kardashian has 9 brothers and sisters. Her siblings include Kourtney and Khloé, as well as her brother Rob. After her mother's remarriage, Kim gained stepbrothers Burton, Brandon and Brody Jenner. Kim also has stepsister Cassandra Jenner and two half-sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner.

Until she turned 18, her wealthy parents gave Kim complete freedom. For her 16th birthday, she was given a luxury car. However, as soon as she turned 18, her parents drastically cut her allowance because they wanted Kim to earn her own money. The Kardashian sisters then opened their own fashion boutique, whose clients included celebrity friends of the Kardashian family.

Kim Kardashian became famous when the whole Kardashian family took part in the reality show «Keeping Up with the Kardashians», which appeared on American television in October 2007. Since then, their name has become an integral part of the tabloids. Kim and her sisters became regulars on the Hollywood social scene alongside Nicky and Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie.

Scandals

Kim tried to deny her involvement in the video and claimed it was fabricated by her enemies. However, when she sued a company planning to distribute the porn DVD, she indirectly admitted her involvement. However, many people assume that the scandal was made by Kim herself in order to raise her popularity. Incidentally, Kim dropped the lawsuit against the company that owned the video after receiving $5 million in compensation.

Personal life of Kim Kardashian

Like any celebrity, Kim Kardashian eagerly shares her personal life with the public.

In early 2000, 19-year-old Kim Kardashian married music producer Damon Thomas. However, the marriage did not last long. In 2004, their relationship ended in divorce. Kim cited domestic violence as the reason for their marriage's breakdown. However, her ex-husband consistently denied this claim and said he initiated the divorce because he couldn't accept Kim's alleged infidelity.

In 2007, the girl began a relationship with the NFL star Reggie Bush. However, their relationship didn't last long. The couple broke up in July 2009. Then, in a couple of months, the young people renewed their relationship, and in March 2010 they finally broke up.

In April 2010, Kim Kardashian was spotted dating famous footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, and three months later she became interested in Dallas Cowboys receiver Miles Austin, dating him for the next three months.

Kardashian spent about $75,000 on her wedding dress, and the total cost of the lavish wedding exceeded $10 million. However, it soon became clear that the marriage was nothing more than a pre-planned PR stunt designed to boost ratings for the show 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians.' After just 72 days, Kardashian and Humphries divorced.

A few days after the divorce, Kim announced that she was in a relationship with rapper Kanye West. Later, she shared with the press that their romance began two years before.
