Watch : Kim Kardashian Makes Rare Comment About Her First Divorce From Damon Thomas
It's time to keep up with Kim Kardashian's first husband Damon Thomas.
The reality star made a rare reference to her ex on the March 6 episode of The Kardashians, revealing that sister Khloe Kardashian helped her through the couple's divorce during the early aughts.
"When I was getting my first divorce, I moved out and I had no money," Kim recounted, explaining how Khloe offered up all the money in her piggy bank at the time to help pay for separation costs. "She gave me her life savings."
According to the SKIMS mogul, Khloe had saved up roughly $6,000, which was "just enough for me to get the down payment on my apartment."
And for Khloe, she didn't think twice about getting her sister out from a bind.
"She was crying in my room," the Good American co-founder recalled in a confessional of her own, adding that she immediately grabbed her piggy bank and told Kim, "'Letâs take whatâs in here, go to the bank and cash itâand let's use this money for your divorce.'"

But just who is Damon? Here's everything to know about the man who married Kim way before she found fame and fortune.
Who is Kim Kardashian's first husband? Kim eloped with Damon Thomas in 2000, when she was 19 and he was 28.
"I used to be so dependent on the guys I was in a relationship with," Kim reflected in a 2011 Harperâs Bazaar interview. "I donât know why, because I wasn't raised that way. If I looked at myself at 19, I would shake myself and be like, 'Wake up; you are way too smart for this.'"
When did Kim Kardashian meet Damon Thomas?According to Damon, the two first met at a recording studio in 1998, when he was working as a music producer for 3Tâan R&B group comprised of Michael Jackson's nephews Taj Jackson, Taryll Jackson and TJ Jacksonâwho Kim dated in high school. Damon said the two crossed paths again at Neverland Ranch, before Kim reached out to their mutual friend and singer Kevon Edmonds.
"She asked him who he was working with, and he said me," Damon recalled in 2022 interview with VladTV. "And she said, 'Well, can you put me in contact with him?'"
He continued, "So, it wasn't what people may say or think it was."

Where was Kim Kardashian and Damon Thomas' wedding?The two tied the knot in Las Vegas. According to Kim, it was Damon's idea and she went along with it.
"I got married on ecstasy," she shared on a 2018 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. "I did ecstasy once and I got married, I did it again and I made a sex tape [with ex-boyfriend Ray J]. Like everything bad would happen."
How long was Kim Kardashian married to Damon Thomas?Kim and Damonâwho is 10 years her seniorâwere married for almost four years before he filed for divorce in 2003. Their legal separation was finalized in 2004.
What has Damon Thomas said about Kim Kardashian?Damon clapped back at Kim's claim that she was high during their nuptials, telling VladTV, "Because it happened in the past, you can try to sweep it under the rug, but you don't stay married to somebody or be with somebody for four to five years and it's just based off you getting high off of ecstasy."
He added, "Iâve been very responsible in not talking about what that marriage was or what it meant to me."

Meanwhile, Damon is also a parent with a brood of his own. "My kid goes to the same school her kids go to," the music producer shared in his VladTV interview, adding that Kim's ecstasy claim was "very irresponsible" given that their respective children will likely cross paths.

Kris Jenner
Why, yes, Kris Jenner and longtime love Corey Gamble are still doing amazing, sweetie. In 2014, the music industry insider approached the world's most famous momager at fashion designer Riccardo Tisci's 40th birthday bash in Ibiza and "I just tried saying, 'You're beautiful. I'd love to get to know you,'" he shared on the family's OG series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, "and it went from there."

Kourtney Kardashian
With all due respect for all the small things, Kourtney Kardashian's husband has made some pretty grand gestures throughout their yearlong marriage. Take her 44th birthday that saw her and Travis Barker take a trip up the California coast to Santa Barbara. The Blink-182 drummer marked the occasion by filling their room at the famed Kennedy Cottage with rose petals and gifting her with a $161,819 piece by artist Yoshitomo Nara.Â
The Poosh founder has fully embraced her new life as the girl at the rock show. And in November 2023, she and Travis welcomed their first child together, son Rocky Thirteen Barker.

Kim Kardashian
As Kim Kardashian put it in a trailer of The Kardashians, "Things change really quickly." When season two wrapped, the SKIMS founder was still living it up with then-Saturday Night Live standout Pete Davidson.
She later got fans hoping she was getting back in the dating game with retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady.Â
Alas, the mom to North West, Saint West, Chicago West and Psalm Westâwith ex-husband Kanye Westâwasn't on the hunt for a new teammate. "They have friends and business partners in common, but [are] not dating," a source told E! News in May 2023. "Kim is very focused on her kids, her businesses, law school and preparing for American Horror Story."
She briefly dated Odell Beckham Jr. until news broke of their split in April 2024.
As a source told E!, Kim is "open to finding love again if she meets the right person."Â
Khloe Kardashian
In a 2023 episode, Kris shoots her shot while chatting with Khloe Kardashian about Tristan Thompson, asking, "How's everything going with Tristan?" Safe to say the Good American founder has the L.A. Lakers power forward benched for now. Though the exes have worked out a game plan for raising daughter True and son Tatum, Khloe shot down the idea that they're back together in May 2023, calling the narrative "tiring."
She's more interested in starting a fresh story. After meeting Love Is Blind star Alexa Lemieux the following April, Khloe pitched a winning idea to Netflix, writing on Instagram, "I think some of us single K sisters should go on LIB. What do you think?"
