<p id=”par-1_80″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/kanye-west/?swcfpc=1″>Kanye “Ye” West</a> and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/kim-kardashian”>Kim Kardashian</a> have a long and sordid history. The couple tied the knot in 2014 and had four children together. Unfortunately, they couldn’t make their marriage work and finalized their divorce in 2022. West attacked Kardashian online in March 2025 after <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kim-kardashian-allegedly-complained-momager-life-north-west-kanye-west-feud-diddy-track.html/”>Kardashian disapproved of West releasing a track</a> involving their eldest daughter and Sean “Diddy” Combs. Now, we’re looking back at when West and Kardashian were happily in love. Here’s how West once spoke about Kardashian.</p>

<p id=”par-2_78″>Kanye “Ye” West and Kim Kardashian still have trouble in their relationship years after divorcing. The couple has four kids together: North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5. In March 2025, West released a track that included North and Sean “Diddy” Combs. Kardashian was up in arms over the release, as she didn’t want North associated with Combs. The situation worsened when Kardashian discovered that West invited the Tate brothers to his studio while with North.</p>
<p id=”par-3_31″>Rumors are swirling that Kardashian may seek full custody of her kids amid the chaos. However, West and Kardashian didn’t always hate each other. In 2014, West once praised Kardashian’s beauty.</p>
<p id=”par-4_35″>“I loved her from the first day I saw her …,” West said with Kardashian by his side during an interview with <a href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeJcDPP_tQo” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Hot 97</a> in 2014. “I don’t remember when that was. It’s a blur.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_36″>West then recounted seeing photos of Kardashian with Paris Hilton. At the time, he mispronounced her name, which he laughed about during the interview. West noted that he “100%” knew Kardashian would become his wife. </p>
<p id=”par-6_49″>“I had to work for it,” West admitted. “… I knew that I wanted this family, and with her. … Our love story is a love story for the ages. I felt like when we first got together, it was like a <em>Romeo and Juliet</em> kind of thing ….”</p>
<p id=”par-7_38″>“Ya’ll acting like this ain’t the most beautiful woman of all time,” West later exclaimed with Kardashian smiling and laughing beside him. “Wait a second! I’m talking about arguably of human existence. The top 10 of human existence.”</p>

<p id=”par-8_77″>Kanye “Ye” West once stated Kim Kardashian was one of the most beautiful women to ever exist. However, he now reserves this title for his current wife, Bianca Censori. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/lip-readers-reveal-new-insights-kanye-west-bianca-censoris-red-carpet-talk-grammys.html/”>Censori and West made a splash</a> at the beginning of 2025 when arriving at the Grammy Awards. While on the red carpet, Censori dropped her fur coat to reveal a sheer dress with no undergarments. She posed naked with West by her side before exiting the award show.</p>
<p id=”par-9_37″>West posted a now-deleted photo to Instagram of the “invisible dress” his wife wore. “Custom Couture Grammy dress for the most beautiful woman ever My love my best friend My wife,” he wrote, according to <a href=”https://pagesix.com/2025/02/02/entertainment/kanye-west-calls-bianca-censori-beautiful-after-grammys-2025/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Page Six</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-10_14″>West also took to X to call Censori “so smart, talented, brave and hot.” </p>
<p id=”par-11_25″>It’s unclear where West and Censori stand as of March 2025. Several sources claim <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kanye-ye-west-panicking-divorce-bianca-censori-hotel-hop-sources-say.html/”>the couple is headed for divorce</a> following West’s hateful X tirades.</p>

<p id=”par-12_30″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kim-kardashian-determined-kanye-ye-west-removed-life-protect-kids-source-says.html/”>Kim Kardashian takes Kanye “Ye” West’s threats</a> seriously. After his online rant against her in March 2025, she allegedly sought legal help to take action for herself and her kids.</p>
<p id=”par-13_58″>“Her team is in crisis mode,” an insider told <a href=”https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/13832761/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-legal-custody-kids/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The U.S. Sun</a>. “The plan is to lodge something with the court this week and using the fact that Kanye stated his plans to seek full custody of the kids. The plan is to question whether he is ‘mentally fit’ to do so, and then get the ball rolling.”</p>
<p id=”par-14_31″>The source noted that it’s become “a pretty fast-moving situation,” with Kardashian “determined to get Kanye and his threats removed from her life; she says she can’t live like this anymore.”</p>
<p id=”par-15_25″>“So despite her fears and worries over it, she knows it’s her only course of action to protect her and her children,” the source noted.</p>
