Kim Kardashian: the sizzling highs and lows of her sex life

KIM Kardashian has enjoyed a truly krazy 2012.

Just one year ago, the reality star was nursing a broken heart after her second marriage, to Kris Humphries, failed.
But now the 32-year-old beauty is smitten with rap star Kanye West - and expecting his BABY.
Although still technically married to Kris, Kim has confirmed she is pregnant after an ecstatic Kanye let the cat out of the bag at a live show in Atlantic City.
Flashing a rare grin, Kanye told the audience to "make noise for my baby mama" while a stunned Kim blushed in the crowd.
Twice-married Kim has made no mention yet of plans to marry the rapper - but then she has that pesky divorce to finalise first.
And her baby news is just the latest tidbit in an ongoing saga of hook-ups, hot loves and saucy scandals.
So here are the pre-Kanye men who made Kimmy the girl we know and (sometimes) love today.
Read about her sizzling love history from start to finish.

Damon Thomas

First love ... Kim was just 19 when she met, and later married, musica producer Damon Thomas

Aspiring model and stylist Kim met music producer Damon when she was just 19 - and he ten years her senior.
The couple got hitched in 2000 but split in April three years later citing "irreconcilable differences".
In divorce papers leaked in 2011, Kim claims that Damon was frequenly violent during their union.
She said that on one occasion, Damon "threw me against the closet...Then he held me against the wall with his hands round my neck and threatened to choke me."
Thomas denies all such claims - saying that Kim made up the claims to get "a lot of money" out of him.
He reminds Kim fans that she never filed for a restraining or protective order against him and it was in fact he who filed for divorce first. The reason? He caught Kim cheating on him "with multiple guys".
He told In Touch magazine: "Kim is obsessed with fame. She can't write or sing or dance, so she does harmful things in order to validate herself in the media. That's a fame-whore to me."
Damon also claims to have paid for extensive plastic surgery on the star - incluidng a boob job and liposuction.

Ray J

Although Kim's divorce from Damon was not finalised until 2004, she began seeing R&B singer Ray J in 2003.
The pair met when Kim worked as a stylist to Grammy-winning singer Brandy, Ray's sister, and Ray claims Kim then left Damon for him.
He said of their affair: "She left her husband for me as soon as we started having sex. We were like animals - sexually free to try anything, and we did."
A minor star himself, Ray nevertheless, ahem, shot to fame in early 2007 when a pornographic home video of the couple was leaked on the web.
Kim sued distributors Vivid Entertainment for ownership of the 2003 tape - allegedly stolen during a house move - but dropped the suit in April 2007 and settled with the company for £3million.
Ray J claims Kim's clingy and overbearing attitude led to their split in 2006.
He said: "She literally thought I was cheating with every girl I ran across."

Nick Lachey

Fresh from a messy break-up with ex-wife Jessica Simpson, Nick, then 32, dated 25-year-old Kim briefly in 2006.
The pair were spotted on several dates but were allegedly never serious.
However, the press went wild about Nick's mystery woman and Kim got her first intoxicating taste of fame.
She said in her book Kardashian Konfidential: "It started when I went out on a date with Nick Lachey. Of course the paparazzi took pictures, because people were curious about who he was with."
"So the next night I was out with Paris Hilton," she continues.
"We were in her car and the paparazzi started taking pictures. Usually they would shout, 'Paris! Paris! Paris!' But they started yelling 'Kim! Kim! Kim!' I wanted to hide, and Paris and I just looked at each other and laughed."
Nick began dating TV personality Vanessa Minnillo later that same year and the pair got hitched in July 2011.

Nick Cannon

Let down ... Nick Cannon dumped Kim after she lied about the existence of her sex tape

Still sore from her split from Ray J, Kim next dated America's Got Talent host Nick Cannon.
The couple hooked up in late 2006 but split over the sex tape scandal in February 2007.
Nick recently told radio host Howard Stern that he dumped Kim for lying about the cheeky film's existence.
He said: "We talked about this tape, and she told me there was no tape.
“If she might have been honest with me I might have tried to hold her down and be like ‘That was before me,’ because she is a great girl.
“But the fact that she lied and told me that there was no tape?”
Of course, while it lost her Nick's affection, Kim's mucky flick brought her fame.
As the face that launched a thousand Google searches, Kim was one of the most talked-about women in showbiz.
TV channel E! signed Kim and her entire family up for a reality show later that year.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians debuted on the channel in October 2007 and was an instant ratings hit.
Nick also moved on - he tied the knot with Mariah Carey in April 2008 and the couple had twins in April 2011.

Reggie Bush

Pressure ... Kim was said to be keen to settle down with Reggie Bush

Kim found love with football star Reggie Bush in late 2007 - and their relationship was one of the first highlights of KUWTK.
As millions watched their every move, the New Orleans Saints star and Kim quickly became serious.
Kim allegedly put pressure on Reggie to settle down and start a family but the then 22-year-old was not ready to commit.
The pair split in March 2010 - but fuelled rumours of a reconciliation in February last year when they were spotted on lunch dates and evenings out.
However, Reggie then began dating Kim lookalike Lilit Avagyan and the couple announced they were expecting a baby in October 2012.
Kim was said to be "upset" at the news, according to a source close to the family.
The insider said: "Reggie was a part of the Kardashian family for over five years and deep down Kim has always held out hope that they would end up together, even though she married Kris Humphries."
Reggie's decision to have a child with another woman was allegedly like "a slap in the face" to Kim.

Miles Austin

Hunk ... Kim dated football star Miles Austin for three months in 2010

Kim fell for yet another hunky sports star in June 2010 - dating Dallas Cowboys football star Miles.
The pair were an item for three hot months - with a pal telling US magazine, "Kim has really fallen for Miles" - before work commitments forced them to split.
A source close to the couple told People magazine: "There's no huge reason except their distance apart. With his season and Kim's filming Keeping Up With The Kardashians, it just slowly split them apart."

Kris Humphries

Another day, another giant sports star for Kimmy to swoon over - this time it was basketball star Kris Humphries.
The 6ft 9in New Jersey Nets star met pocket rocket Kim when she attended a game in late November 2010.
Just weeks before she was spotted on dates with Halle Berry's ex Gabriel Aubry but Kris swept the star off her feet.
Just six months later, the athlete proposed by spelling out "Will you marry me?" in rose petals on her bed.
He also gifted the beauty a huge 20.5 carat diamond ring worth an alleged £1.5million.
The couple's courtship made must-see viewing and over 4.7million people tuned in to see Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event in August 2011.
But - surprise, surprise! - the couple's wedded bliss was short-lived. Just 72 days later, Kim is said to have "blindsided" her hubby by filing for divorce.
In a statement give to E!, she said: "After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision.
"I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don't work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best."
According to Kris's dad, William, the star found out about his doomed marriage in the press.
In a hurriedly released statement of his own, Kris said: "I'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents."
"I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce... I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work."
Sadly, a reconciliation was not on the cards - and Kim began dating baby-daddy Kanye five months later in April 2012.
