"When I first met him, we worked on a project together and there was definitely a spark, but we were in other relationships and we kept our distance," she told Access Hollywood earlier this week. "We stayed in touch here and there and then when he wasn't in relationships, you know, it's just our timing would always not really coincide."

In 2012, she made the move that would eventually end in the couple having a baby and getting married.

"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?" she added. "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. So I thought he was going to call me as soon as he knew that I was single again. He didn't, and so I called him and I said, 'Hello? I thought you were at least going to call me and 'I told you so,' something?'"

Kardashian said they then hooked up in Paris at a fashion show.
