Prior to her relationship with Hamilton, Kardashian was married to Kanye West for seven years before their divorce in 2021. The exes welcomed daughters North and Chicago and sons Saint and Psalm during their relationship. Hamilton, meanwhile, had been previously linked to Sofía Vergara.

The universe works in your favour when you just allow it to.”
