Kim Kardashian West's marriage to Kris Humphries made her "figure out" she wanted Kanye West

Speaking in a special edition of the family's E! reality show to mark 10 years on air, she said "Right before I got married to Kris Humphries we were like talking and I just went a different direction. And I think I had to go through that to figure out what I wanted."

Asked by host Ryan Seacrest if Kanye was "pursuing" her whilst she was getting married to Kris, she added: "We were friends and we were talking, yes," and when asked if he was talking or pursuing, she said coyly: "I don't really know. I can't remember. Probably all of the above."

Meanwhile, Kim previously admitted she thought her career was "over" after she divorced Kris.

She said: "At the time when I was going through the divorce I did say to everyone, ‘You guys I think our careers are over. I hope you’ve saved your money. And now we’ll just continue to do our clothing stores and continue to do what we started off doing before the show. I totally thought it was over.

"I was being very paranoid. I just took some time off and the time was really good for me. I cancelled everything. I had a book tour, I had a fragrance launch, I had everything that you could possibly imagine and I just cancelled it all and I took time for me."
