Kim's third marriage to rapper Kanye West, 45, came to an end in February of 2021, before their divorce was finalized in November of 2022.
The couple share four children: North, nine; Saint, seven; Chicago, five; and Psalm, four.
Following their contentious split Kim began dating SNL star Pete Davidson, 29.

Pete has since moved on and is currently dating actress Chase Sui Wonders, 27.
Kardashian has also been married to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004, and NBA star Kris Humphries for 72 days in 2011.
Elsewhere in the interview Kim revealed that she 'cries herself to sleep' while opening up about the challenges of raising her four children.
When the TV personality was asked by the host what her 'vision' of parenting was like in the past before kids versus 'what is actually is' she expressed, 'Everyone says the days are long and the years are short, and that couldn't be like a more true statement.'

She continued, 'So, like, when you're in it, I mean, especially when they're babies and you're feeding and there's madness going on. It's like full madness. It's the best chaos though.'
'Like, my mornings, you have no idea what is going on,' Kim explained. 'It's like I always have to do one of my daughter's hair, and it has to be perfect and it has to be a certain way.'
'And then this one needs me to put his shoes on and they all need you. It's like full crazy madness, cooking, running around. Like, it's wild. That's why I need my workout in the morning, just to like, prepare for the two hours of craziness.'
The media personality then reflected on parenthood and told Jay, 'I'd say parenting is the thing that has taught me the most about myself.'
'It has been the most challenging thing. There are nights I cry myself to sleep. Like, holy shit, this f*****g tornado in my house. Like, what just happened?'
'You know, with all the moods and the personalities and sometimes they're fighting, and you know, there's no one there. Like, it's [just] me to play good police officer and bad cop,' she admitted, adding that she was 'working on being a little bit firmer.'
Kim continued to open up candidly and admitted to Jay that, 'There's nothing that can prepare you. Anyone, any person that says, "Oh, we're waiting to have 'x' amount of money in the bank" or "Oh, we're waiting to have a home before we have kids"...you are never prepared.'
However, despite the challenges when it comes to parenting, the star positively stated, 'You will figure it out. And it will make you so proud of yourself-that you figured it out and that you got through the day.'

'I mean, there is nights where you don't wash your hair for days as a mom, and you have spit up all over you, and you're wearing the same pajamas...and there's just nothing that can prepare you for this experience.'
'It is the most challenging, rewarding job on his planet,' The Kardashians star concluded.
