Kim Kardashian has said that she made the first move on Kanye West. The reality TV star, who will celebrate her first wedding anniversary with Kanye on Sunday, revealed she pursued the rapper following her split from Kris Humphries.

"When I first met [Kanye], we worked on a project together and there was definitely a spark, but we were in other relationships and we kept our distance," Kim said on Access Hollywood.
