Kim Kardashian has been a pop culture icon since the mid-2000s, thanks in large part to her family launching the wildly successful reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."
She has since modeled and become an entrepreneur for her KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance line. Kardashian also founded the shapewear company Skims. She has been in several movies and some television shows. Kardashian was voted as one of Time's 10 most influential people in 2015, and her profile only continued to grow.
A large part of her life has been captured on her family's reality show, which has included an inside look at her dating life. While Kardashian is most known for her nine-year relationship and marriage to Kanye West, she has dated several well-known athletes.
Here is more on those in the sports world who have dated the former model.
Kim Kardashian athlete dating timeline
Reggie Bush (2007-2010)
Bush was not the first boyfriend of Kardashian, but he was the first athlete that she dated publicly. The two began dating in 2007 and their relationship was featured on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Their relationship was challenged due to Bush's demanding schedule and the fact that for most of the year they were forced to date long distance. They initially broke up in 2009, but got back together and stayed together into 2010 when they finally called it quits.

After breaking up with Bush, Kardashian stayed within the NFL for her next relationship. She began dating Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin in the summer of 2010. It proved to be like a high school summer romance because by the time the football season came around in September, the couple mutually decided to break up and cited "no huge reason except their distance apart.”
I’ll never forget when Miles Austin was tearing it up.

Kris Humphries (2010-2011)
Kardashian had a busy 2010. After ending things with Bush and dating Austin, she dated model Gabriel Aubrey late in 2010. They had a brief relationship, and by December she was on to the next and wound up with former NBA player Kris Humphries. Their relationship went from 0 to 60. It was also captured on the family reality TV show, and after only six months together, Humphries proposed.
They got married in August 2011 in Montecito, California. The episodes surrounding the wedding lead up showed growing tension between the couple and only 72 days after getting hitched, Kardashian filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences." She told her fans, " 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.”

Between Humphries and NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., Kardashian had a nine-year marriage with Kanye West and a one-year relationship with actor Pete Davidson. Kardashian and Beckham Jr. were never confirmed to actually be dating. They "hung out" in September 2023, and then Kardashian attended his birthday party in November that year. After never going public, their relationship had "fizzled out" by April 2024.

Kardashian and Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton have known each other since 2014. They took couple pictures together with their partners at the time, Nicole Scherzinger and West. Hamilton already knows the family. They have been friends since 2015 and both Kris Jenner and Kendall Jenner have attended a race of his.
Hamilton and Kardashian reportedly rang in 2026 at Kate Hudson's party in Aspen, and the two were seen "enjoying a relaxing weekend at Estelle Manner, per Bazaar. Reports suggested that the two had a very romantic weekend, including a couple's massage and a private dinner.
Kardashian appears to be keeping this relationship more private. The next time they popped up together was in Paris at the Aqua Kyoto rooftop, where she reportedly spent the evening with Hamilton, though only a picture of her arriving was captured of the two.
