The Kardashian/Jenner clan made a name for itself by playing the media game perfectly well and feeding the tabloids exactly what they want: sex, glamour, drama and all kinds of scandals. And none of this could be possible without the help of the men who chose to stand by these women’s curvy sides during different periods of their lives. Let’s recall the men who fell under the Kardashians’ secret spell.

20. Reggie Bush

NFL running back Reggie Bush dated Kim Kardashian on-again off-again from 2007 through the summer of 2009. Their breakups were closely followed by media.

19. Kris Humphries

Basketball player Kris Humphries began dating Kim K in October 2010 and by May 2011 the pair was already engaged. They tied the knot in August the same year, and the wedding became a televised sensation thanks to E!’s idea to film a two-part special about the ceremony.

Just two months later, after getting her ratings, Kardashian filed for divorce. Their marriage lasted 72 days by then. Furious Humphries filed a response to Kardashian’s petition, requesting an annulment on the grounds of fraud or a decree of legal separation rather than Kardashian’s requested divorce. The two were caught in the legal battle until June 2013.
