Kim Kardashian has always been attracted to her husband, rapper Kanye West, even long before the two started dating.
In an exclusive interview with Access Hollywood, Billy Bush sat down to talk to the reality star about her past with the rapper.
The two had been friends for a while before they got together, and Kardashian feels that there was always a connection but the timing never seemed to be right.
"There was definitely a spark," Kardashian admitted about their first time meeting while working on a project together. "But we were in other relationships and we kept our distance."
At the time, Kardashian was married to basketball player Kris Humphries, but their marriage didn't last very long.
Six months after her divorce in 2012, Kardashian had West on her mind, "I was like why not? Like, what am I waiting for?" She was a little hesitant considering she was so newly divorced, but she decided to just say, "Screw it. Like, this is probably what I've been waiting for, it's been in front of my face."
After Kardashian didn't hear from West, she decided to make the first move and call him.
"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," she told Bush. "So I thought he was going to call me as soon as he knew I was single again."
She got on West's case about not calling her first when he found out about the divorce, considering they were such good friends.
Kardashian claimed that the two had "always been there for each other."
Shortly after, West invited her to Paris for a fashion show, "and then the magic happened."
Kardashian loves how confident West is, and how much that's rubbed off on her. She handles things in a much calmer way now that West is in her life and she knows what she wants.
