Kim Kardashian and Damon Thomas’ whirlwind romance came to an end three years after they exchanged vows.
Kardashian and Thomas tied the knot in 2000 when she was 19 years old. “I used to be so dependent on the guys I was in a relationship with,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in 2011 of her first wedding. “I don’t know why, because I wasn’t raised that way. If I looked at myself at 19, I would shake myself and be like, ‘Wake up; you are way too smart for this.’”
She continued, “We went to Vegas, he said, ‘Let’s get married!’ and I said, ‘OK.’”
The pair, who have a 10-year age-gap, were married for three years before calling it quits in 2003. The Kardashians star moved on with Kris Humphries, with whom she was infamously married to for 72 days in 2011. The twosome officially split in April 2023 following a messy court battle.
The next year, Kardashian began dating longtime friend Kanye West. The pair said “I do” in 2014, one year after they welcomed daughter North. Kardashian and West are also parents to sons Saint and Psalm and daughter Chicago, born in 2015, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Us Weekly confirmed in 2021 that Kardashian filed for divorce after six years of marriage.

2018
Years later, Kardashian claimed that she was on ecstasy when they eloped. “I got married on ecstasy. … The first time,” Kardashian said on a 2018 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “I did ecstasy once and I got married. I did it again, I made a sex tape. Like, everything bad would happen [when I was on drugs].”
2022
Thomas, for his part, claimed to not “remember that at all” about Kardashian being on ecstasy during their wedding. “I think it’s unfair to make those kind of blanket statements because we have kids now, you know? I have children,” he said during an interview with VladTV in 2022. “My kid goes to the same school her kid goes to. So imagine him when he has to deal with that at school.”
Thomas explained he was upset that his ex-wife wanted to blame their marriage on her alleged intoxication and impaired judgement. “Because it happened in the past, you can try to sweep it under the rug, but you don’t stay married to somebody or be with somebody for four to five years and it’s just based off you getting high off of ecstasy, you know what I mean?” he said. “That doesn’t make any sense at all.”
He added, “I’ve been very responsible in not talking about what that marriage was or what it meant to me.”

Kardashian made a rare comment about her relationship with Thomas, and subsequent split, during a 2025 episode of The Kardashians.
“When Khloé [Kardashian] was maybe 4 or 5 years old, she got this piggy bank in the shape of a Coca-Cola bottle. We would put so much money in it,” she recalled. “When I was getting my first divorce, I moved out and had no money. I was like 21 and she gave me her Coke bottle.”
Kim, who relocated to a new place, added, “We were up all night counting it and it was $6,000, and it was enough for me to get a downpayment on my apartment. She gave me her life savings at age 21.”
In a separate confessional, Khloé, who is four years younger than Kim, explained her decision to give her sister the money. “She was crying in my room and I was just like, ‘I have this so let’s take what is in here and go to the bank to cash it. Let’s use this money for your divorce,’” she shared. “I gave her all that I got and hopefully helped her.”
