Kim Kardashian has revealed that she was the one who made the first move with husband Kanye West after her marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries ended.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, the reality star revealed that she initiated the relationship with the rapper, saying that she always knew there was a “spark” between them.

The 35-year old told Billy Bush, “When I first met [Kanye], we worked on a project together and there was definitely a spark, but we were in other relationships and we kept our distance.

“We stayed in touch here and there and then when he wasn’t in relationships, you know, it’s just our timing would always not really coincide.”

But she admitted that she decided to take matters into her own hands, saying, “I think it was six months after I was newly single in like 2012, I was like why not? Like, what am I waiting for?”

Kim’s dress caused a stir at the Met Ball earlier this month.

“I called [Kanye] because I’m sure it was really hurtful that I got married and, even though it’s not like we communicated all the time, I knew what he was thinking.

“So I thought he was going to call me as soon as he knew that I was single again,” she explained.

“He didn’t, and so I called him and I said, ‘Hello? I thought you were at least going to call me and say ‘I told you so,’ or something?”

The star explained that the pair have always had a close relationship, telling Bush, “he’s always been a good friend to me, like, we’ve always been there for each other.”

“Then he invited me to a fashion show of his in Paris and I went, and then the magic happened.”

And the rest is history. Ah bless.
