00:00Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will soon be Mr. and Mrs. But before they're bound for
00:06life, here's a rundown of how they went from flirtation to family.
00:10The pop culture power duo was first spotted hanging out back in 2010, but relationship
00:15rumors seem to be just that — rumors — at the time. Kim went on to date and wed basketball
00:21star Chris Humphries, but their marriage lasted an infamous 72 days.
00:25A few months after Kim and Chris' split, Kanye released his 2012 track, Cold Theraflu, featuring
00:31the lyrics,
00:32"...and I'll admit I had fell in love with Kim around the same time she had fell in love
00:36with him."
00:37"...I've said before, Kanye and I have been friends for years, and you never know what
00:43the future holds or where my life will take me, so I like the song."
00:48Their relationship soon turned into romance, and Kimye was born.
00:52That summer, the reality star gushed about her, quote, new fairy tale to Oprah.
00:56"...one day, I don't know, it just happened, and I'm like, it took me by surprise even."
01:03The pair did come under fire for their past relations, notably from West's ex, Amber Rose,
01:09but it turns out Kanye had been in love with Kim for some time.
01:13"...I loved her from the first day I saw her, which I said on Bound. I don't remember when
01:18that was. I don't know when that was."
01:23I remember seeing pictures with her, you know, I think she was in Australia with Paris Hilton
01:28or something, and reading her name and telling my friends, like, man, have you ever seen Kim
01:33Carter-John?"
01:35Those pictures Kanye was talking about, that was back in 2006.
01:39Once they were finally together, things were a whirlwind. Not long after going public with
01:44their relationship, Kanye announced some big news.
01:47"...Can we make some noise for my baby mama?"
01:53After revealing they were expecting, Kim and Kanye steamed up the cover of a French fashion
01:57magazine and made numerous public appearances, notably at the Met Gala. Then, in June 2013,
02:03the couple welcomed a daughter, North West. The pair kept a low profile after becoming parents,
02:07but they did show their love online, shamelessly flirting. Who can forget that selfie?
02:13And then they made a big splash in October when Kanye popped the question in San Francisco
02:17on Kim's 33rd birthday. They followed that with the over-the-top and topless music video
02:23for Kanye's song, Bound 2. And since then, it's been all about wedding planning and that
02:28Vogue photoshoot. And now, here we are on the eve of the couple's European nuptials. Congratulations,
02:33Rats to the almost newlyweds.
