In conjunction of this year’s BAZAAR Icons – Kim Kardashian and Kanye West (in case you did not receive the memo), who also happen to be social media’s reigning power couple, let’s take a look at these lovebirds’ whirlwind romance in pictures.
Pre-2012 days: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been friends since 2004 and it wasn’t until 2008 when they “really connected” while working together on a pilot show for Alligator Boots according to Kim. The show involved a stormtrooper (Kanye) and Princess Leia (Kim) but never made it to air.
