How Kim Kardashian dresses like her lovers: From Ray J and Kanye to Pete Davidson

They say the couple that dress together, stay together – but that theory doesn’t appear to have worked out for Kim Kardashian so far.

As these pictures show, Kim is no stranger to matching her outfits to the person she is dating.

Whether it is just a fling, like the short-lived romance between her and Halle Berry’s ex Gabriel Aubrey, or Mariah Carey’s former husband Nick Cannon.

Or one of her three marriages – to music producer Damon Thomas, basketball player Kris Humphries or rap megastar Kanye West, who she is currently divorcing - Kim is a big fan of styling her clothes like her man.

Her most recent twinning look is with current beau, comedian and Saturday Night Live host Pete Davidson.

Here we look back on Kim’s matchiest man moments so far - which is your favourite?

Damon Thomas

Back in 2000, a 19-year-old Kim wasn’t even famous yet so there aren’t pictures of her and first husband Damon Thomas together- but separate photos taken of them at the time show their style was still very similar. They definitely liked a print!

Kim has since claimed she was high on the drug ecstasy when she tied the knot with Damon, who is 10 years her senior.

They divorced three years later over his alleged abusive behaviour, something Damon denies.

In court proceedings, Kim said: “He wanted to know where I was at all times”. It is suggested he even encouraged her to get plastic surgery.

Ray J

Another Noughties romance and a fashion style to match, this is Kim in her Ray J days – the man she famously made a sex tape with.

The reality TV queen is said to have cheated on Damon with Ray J, who is the brother of singer Brandy Norwood. The pair met as Kim was working as her stylist at the time.

A year after they split the sex tape was leaked online and turned Kim into a household name. She is said to have made $5million from it.

Kim recently revealed the real reason she made the sex tape, but rather than seeking fame, she claims she was just horny.

Nick Lachey

Kim only went on one date with Nick Lachey in 2006 – but still managed to match her white and black outfit to his.

The date was a big deal as Kim was the first woman Nick had been spotted with since he split with singer Jessica Simpson.

He later suggested Kim had tipped the paparazzi off, saying: “We went to a movie. No one followed us there.

“Somehow, mysteriously when we left there were 30 photographers waiting outside. There are certain ways to play this game, and some people play it well.”

Nick Cannon

Same year, same monochrome couples look – but this time with TV host Nick Cannon.

The pair only dated for a few months, splitting in early 2007 shortly after Kim’s sex tape was leaked.

Nick has since said the relationship broke down because Kim lied about the sex tape.

“She’s actually one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. But the fact that she lied and told me that there was no tape?

"I still think she might have even had a part to play with [its release],” he told US radio show host Howard Stern.

Nick went on to marry and have twins with singing superstar Mariah Carey. They have since divorced but remain on friendly terms.

Reggie Bush

Kim dated American football star Reggie Bush for three years from 2007 and 2010 – and over that time there were a few twinning outfits.

Whether they are dressed up to the nines in navy blue or rocking a more casual white look on the red carpet, these two definitely liked to match.

Reggie seemed pretty smitten with Kim and is said to have hoped to marry her.

But there are claims she was seeing Kanye West behind his back, even though the couple didn’t officially get together until 2012.

Gabriel Aubry

Kim briefly dated Canadian male model Gabriel Aubry and the two were spotted in matching outfits as they watched a basketball game in November 2010.

The couple didn’t stay together very long, going their separate ways in December of that year.

Gabriel reportedly called things off with the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star because his ex Halle Berry – who he shares daughter Nahla with – was unhappy about the relationship.

Kris Humphries

Around the same time Kim was dating Aubry, she met second husband, basketball star Kris Humphries.

During the seven months they dated – which turned out to be way longer than their 72 day marriage – they were spotted in a number of twinning outfits

Their style was fairly elegant and always perfectly paired. Despite looking great together, the romance didn’t last and they split in 2011.

When Kris filed for divorce, he cited ‘fraud’ as the reason, accusing Kim of only marrying him to boost TV ratings.

Kim later revealed she rushed the marriage as she was freaking out about turning 30.

Kanye West

When Kim tied the knot with third husband Kanye West it seemed like she had finally got her happy ending – these pair could twin for days.

From their glamorous matching looks at the Met Gala to wearing the same jeans and Balmain black jackets while out on dates, they couldn’t get enough of each other’s style.

Even though they had split, Kim recently paired the red catsuit she wore to Kanye’s latest album launch with the outfit he was wearing.

This led some fans to think a reconciliation was on the cards, but it seems this isn’t to be as Kim is said to have hired a celebrity divorce lawyer to finalise their separation.

Pete Davidson

Fast forward to 2021 and Kim has done it again – this time with current beau Pete Davidson.

Rumours of a romance between the pair swirled after Kim appeared with Pete on Saturday Night Live. They even shared an on-screen kiss during a skit while dressed as Disney’s Aladdin and Princess Jasmine.

And it seems their romance was officially confirmed when Kim and Pete posed together in matching SKIMS pyjamas to celebrate his 28th birthday this week.

So the question is, what will Kim and Pete wear next?
