Kanye West and Kim Kardashian

celebrity couples

Detractors call them celebrity’s most irritating couple. Fans think they recall the jet-setting glamour of Liz and Dick (seriously?). One thing’s true, which is that in a less than a year, they’ve become ubiquitous. The superstar rapper had it bad for Kim for years, but alas, since he was not a strapping NBA or NFL athlete (or, um, Ray J.), she relegated him to friend status. But the second her 72-day marriage to basketball noodnick Kris Humphries fizzled – and according to some reports, before the fizzling – the reality star gave in, and the two officially became Kimye. Yeezy’s been a major influence in Kiki’s life — he’s banned their unborn baby from reality TV, made over her wardrobe, written songs for her (see “Perfect Bitch”), and declared his love on social media (sample tweet: “I just f***ed Kim so hard”).
