Who was Kim Kardashian’s first husband?

Kim Kardashian’s first husband was music producer Damon Thomas.

Kardashian and Thomas married in 2000, when she was 19. Thomas worked in music production, including through the production partnership Underdog Entertainment. Their marriage ended in divorce in 2004.

The marriage is often confused with Kardashian’s later, more widely publicized marriages. She married professional basketball player Kris Humphries in 2011, but that marriage lasted only 72 days. She later married rapper Kanye West in 2014; they had four children before divorcing. Kardashian has also been romantically linked with other public figures, including comedian Pete Davidson.

Damon Thomas is therefore the answer when the question asks specifically for Kardashian’s first husband, rather than her second husband or her former spouse who is the father of her children. Kardashian’s early marriage occurred before Keeping Up with the Kardashians premiered on E! in 2007, which helped make her family internationally famous.
