Seems like one of the most talked about couple have come to an end. Has the love that binds them for eight years really ended?

Even the most passionate love stories&nbsp;sometimes, sadly, end. Among all of them, the couple who have been center of gossips for years and&nbsp;made headlines for a decade : Kim Kardashiane and Kanye West have split. Still nothing official from the duo but the rumors are now sure about it. A force of nature (and advertising) the two characters together: Kimye (the couple&#39;s name) has&nbsp;been able to create a real empire, welcoming fans into their crystallized gold life. Their story, which began as a friendship, dates back to 18 years ago, when in 2003 they met for the first time. Where they first locked eyes?&nbsp;Brandy&#39;s recording studio where Kim worked as the singer&#39;s&nbsp;stylist. The sparks arose immediately from Kanye&#39; side while for her it took years (and two failed marriages). The willfulness with which the singer never lost faith in courting Kardashian should be recognized. In 2008 he wanted her for his show Alligator Boots (it was never released) as Princess Leia and later, 2010,&nbsp; Kanye became a regular guest star in the spin-off of Keeping Up With The Kardashian, &quot;Kourtney and Kim Take New York&quot; visiting the store several times Dash (the Kardashian clan&#39;s clothing store). Only in 2012, however, their love became official.&nbsp;Kanye released the song Cold in which he openly declared how she had enchanted&nbsp;him from the very first moment ( &quot;I&#39;ll admit, I had fell in love with Kim Around the same time she had fell in love with him&quot;) and in response, she published a tweet calling herself &quot;a proud&nbsp;girlfriend&quot;

The couple played a central role&nbsp;in the revolutionary phenomenon of fashion. At the time Kim was famous for wearing Juicy Couture, Louis Vuitton maxi bags and flip flop. With the beginning of their relationship, Kanye got closer&nbsp;to the&nbsp;wardrobe of his then-future wife, radically helping in changing her style (Kim&#39;s famously once told about crying for hours when he&nbsp;mercilessly trashed her&nbsp;favorite pair of shoes). After almost a year of relationship, in December 2012 the couple announced they were expecting their first daughter. It seems like yesterday, yet eight years have passed, since in May&nbsp;2013 ,&nbsp;Kim and Kanye made their debut on the red carpet of&nbsp;Met Gala. She was in&nbsp;Givenchy, eight months pregnant and invited as plus one of the singer. Only a month later, in June, their first daughter North was&nbsp;born and in a few months, happened the spectacular marriage proposal: in October Kanye rented&nbsp;the entire AT&amp;T in San Francisco for a whole evening, surprising his girlfriend with fireworks, flowers and the whole family there to&nbsp;celebrate the happy couple. Closing the year with a bang, in November the music video of the singer&#39;s Bound 2 was&nbsp;released in which&nbsp;the couple is shot in&nbsp;intimate attitudes. Amidst criticism and praise, the two seemed happier than ever

2014 . The year of the gigantic wedding in Italy. The whole family flies&nbsp;first to Paris for the bachelorette party and then to Florence for the big day: the sisters were&nbsp;bridesmaids and momager&nbsp;Kris didn&#39;t lose&nbsp;a moment on her phone, shooting everything with tears in her eyes. The wedding gown was&nbsp;obviously by Riccardo Tisci (as well as Kanye&#39;s). Exactly one year later, in May 2015 the couple announced their second pregnancy. The first photo of Kim with the belly? obviously Givenchy. The baby was born in December and is called Saint

2016 was not an easy year for the two vips. First divorce gossips began to circulate, then the Taylor Swift scandal exploded, dividing the world into Team Kanye and Team Swift (obviously Kim took her husbands side, writing many tweets feautured the snake emojii). In October of the same year, Kim was robbed in her hotel room in Paris: Kanye learns the news while performing at the Meadows Music and Arts Festival in New York and suddenly leaves the stage to fly to his terrified wife. Only a month later he was sent to rehab due to a nervous breakdown. After months away from publics eyes, in 2017 the couple returns to the scene with the announcement of a third pregnancy, this time from a surrogate mother. The little girl was born in January 2018 and is called Chigaco, in honor of her fathers hometown. Photos of the Yeezy campaign became huge on social media in which Kims clones (including her friend Paris Hilton) were photographed on the streets of Los Angeles. The entire collection was sold out in a very short amount of time. Again, some rumors about a possible slip circulated: Kanye openly took Donald Trumps side and some statements made by the rapper about slavery made scandal (he quoted if after 400 years you are still slaves, maybe its your choice). Kim seemed ready to leave him but no. On the other hand, they announced another pregnancy on the way (always from a surrogate mother)

Psalm West was born in May 2019. Same month when the two celebrated 5 years of marriage with an private ceremony renewing their wedding vows. Kim&#39;s vows began like this &quot;To you who are my husband, my best friend, the my greatest supporter and my only true love. &quot; In July, during a concerts, Kanye shocked the world by announcing his willingness to run as future president of the United States. Just another extravange or real intentions? Anyway Kim supported him. The rapper also announced that his will to found his own church after the enormous success of his &quot;Sunday Service&quot; during Coachella.

A real-life Greek tragedy was&nbsp;2020 for the couple: a sparkling and glorious beginning leaded to a ruinous end. In January they really seemed to be the love story of the decade; Kanye gifted Kim a vintage Cartier necklace congratulating her on the huge success and only a few months later the reality star is proclaimed &quot; self-made billionaie &quot; making again her husband extremely proud ( he also posted numerous&nbsp;tweets declaring himself extremely happy&nbsp;for the results achieved by his wife). However, only a month later, in July, after publicly talking about pro-abortion laws (also mentioning the fact that Kim&#39;s initial intention was to have an abortion during her first pregnancy), Kanye raged&nbsp;on social networks in a series of tweets against the Kardashian family, blaming Kim and her mother Kris&nbsp;for controlling him and keeping him homebound. The couple was photographed arguing outside their Wyoming property. Gossips of an imminent divorce were becoming more and more serious but were once again mitigated by his sensational gift for Kim&#39;s fortieth birthday: a hologram of her&nbsp;father (who passed away in 2003) who wished her happy birthday and congratulated on the excellent choice of husband. The ultimate gift that perfectly symbolizes a love of excess. In January 2021 the divorce seems to be a fact: many sources want Kim already in contact with several lawyers after spending months living separate lives (she in Wyoming, he in LA). That it is the end of an era and of a crazy love story; but as life is in fact a turn of events,are we really gonna write The End on Kimye&#39;s love story?
