Kim Kardashian Reflects on Early Divorce and Sisterly Sacrifice
In a candid moment on the recent episode of *The Kardashians*, Kim Kardashian opened up about her first marriage to music producer Damon Thomas and the financial struggles that followed her divorce. The reality star, who was just 21 at the time, revealed that her sister Khloe Kardashian came to her rescue in an incredibly generous way—by handing over her entire life savings, stored in a whimsical piggy bank. “She got this piggy bank that was as tall as us, it was like a Coke bottle,” Kim recounted, explaining how Khloe selflessly offered her savings, which totaled around $6,000. This gesture not only helped Kim secure a down payment on her apartment but also covered her first and last month’s rent.
Kim’s marriage to Thomas lasted nearly four years before they divorced in 2004, a precursor to her subsequent romances, which have included brief unions with Kris Humphries and Kanye West. While her marriage to Humphries famously lasted just 72 days, her relationship with Kanye produced four children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—before they finalized their divorce in 2022.
Khloe, sharing her perspective on the situation, noted that she felt compelled to help her sister, recalling the emotional moment when Kim was in distress. “I was just like, ‘OK, I have this Coke bottle. Let’s take what’s in here, go to the bank and cash it—and let’s use this money for your divorce,'” she said. Decades later, Kim returned the favor by gifting Khloe a similar piggy bank filled with money, a thoughtful nod to their shared history and the bond that has undoubtedly shaped both their lives.
This touching episode serves as a reminder of the close-knit relationship the Kardashian sisters maintain, often supporting each other through life’s ups and downs. As they continue to navigate fame, family, and personal challenges, their bond remains a focal point of their reality series. For those who enjoy a bit of drama and heartfelt moments in their reality TV, *The Kardashians* is back with new episodes every Thursday, ensuring viewers have front-row seats to all the familial antics.
