# The Epic Rise and Dramatic Fall of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West: Hollywood's Ultimate Power Couple **From stadium proposals to headline-splitting divorces**, the story of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West (now Ye) captivated the world, blending fame, family, and heartbreak in a saga that's pure Hollywood drama.[1][2] Their romance kicked off in 2003 when they met through mutual friend Brandy while Kanye was recording a song. Kim recalled on *Keeping Up with the Kardashians* how he mispronounced her name as "Kim Kardajan," but sparks flew slowly. They stayed friendly through the years—Kanye even guested on her show in 2010—despite her dating others like Gabriel Aubry and his split from Amber Rose.[1] By May 2012, things heated up. Kanye attended Kardashian family events, including Kourtney's baby shower, and Kim proudly tweeted she was his "proud girlfriend." Their first red-carpet moment came at the 2013 Met Gala, with Kim eight months pregnant as his plus-one. That June, they welcomed daughter North West, turning the internet upside down with her iconic name.[1][2][3] Kanye's grand gesture sealed the deal in October 2013: he rented out San Francisco's AT&T Stadium (disguised as Kim's birthday party), complete with a "PLEEEASE MARRY MEEEE!!!" sign, fireworks, and her hidden family cheering. They wed in a lavish 2014 Italian ceremony, expanding their family to four kids—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—over six whirlwind years of marriage.[2][3] But cracks appeared. Fans criticized Kanye's influence on Kim's style, like when his stylist tossed her favorite shoes, leaving her in tears. By January 2021, separation rumors swirled, and Kim filed for divorce in February, citing joint custody and a prenup. The pair committed to co-parenting amicably amid the public fallout.[1][2][3] What kept us hooked? Their unfiltered blend of music, reality TV, fashion, and family drama made **Kimye** a cultural phenomenon—until it wasn't.
