But Kanye and Kim only made their relationship public in April 2012. In December 2012, the couple revealed that they were expecting their first daughter, North West, who was born in June 2013. Kanye subsequently released the infamous "Bound 2" music video featuring Kim riding a motorcycle with him in November 2013. By December 2013, Kanye went all out to propose to Kim at the Oracle Park baseball stadium in San Francisco. Then, the couple appeared on the cover of Vogue Magazine in April 2014 and got married in Florence, Italy in May 2014.
Three More Children & Marital Woes (2015-2019)
