Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's relationship 'was 8 years coming'

Washington, Apr 9 (ANI): Although Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been dating for roughly two weeks now, their relationship was 8 years in the making, it has been revealed.

According to sources, the two have been friends since 2004 and have flirted on-and-off, but the timing was never right to pursue a relationship until now, TMZ reported.

Both sides are said to have always felt a spark, but they never acted inappropriately while West was with Amber Rose or while the socialite was with Kris Humphries.

In fact, Kardashian was recently kicking around the idea of reconciling with Reggie Bush, but after hanging out with him in Miami a few weeks ago, decided the two weren't compatible anymore.

She finally reconnected with Kanye in Paris when she attended his fashion show and shortly after that, both sides decided to "give dating a shot".

And so far, the 31-year-old is said to be super-impressed with the rapper, who pulled one hell of a surprise when they hit up FAO Schwarz in NYC a few days ago.

Sources claim West made some calls and had an entire floor of the toy store roped off so they could get a private lesson from a guy who taught them how to play "Chopsticks" on the over-sized piano featured in the movie "Big".

Although she is currently back in L.A., sources have revealed that she plans to get back to NYC as soon as possible to see him. (ANI)
