We know where Kim Kardashian and Kanye West stand these days:

At the apex of Hollywood couples, totally in love, parents to a daughter named North West, trying to have a second kid and with a seemingly very bright future ahead of them.

But what about the past? How did Kim and Kanye finally get together after years of mere friendship?

I was “always attracted to him,” Kim tells Billy Bush in a new Access Hollywood interview, going on to say there was a “spark” from the very beginning, but they were both in “other relationships.”

Kardashian went on to marry Kris Humphries, only to get divorced 72 days later.

There’s been talk that Kim cheated on Kris with Kanye, but that isn’t the story she tells here.

"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?’

"I called him 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."

Kanye did not, however, prompting Kim to make the first romantic move.

"I called him and I said, ‘Hello? I thought you were at least going to call me and ‘I told you so,’ something?’

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

And by magic, of course, Kim means the totally naked boning!
