Watch This: Kim Kardashian Explains Why She ‘Really Relates’ To HMK

Kim Kardashian says her relationship with House Mother Kanye is “comforting” because the pair can relate to each other’s life experiences. And all this time you thought it was the La Mer Creme de La Mer facial treatments.

The reality television queen — whose father Robert Kardashian passed away of cancer back in 2003 — tells Lady O in the second part of the Kardashian family interview airing Sunday on ‘Oprah’s Next Chapter’ that she is able to connect with Kanye on a deeper level because they have both faced the tragedy of losing a parent.

Kanye’s mother, Donda West, died after complications from cosmetic surgery in 2007.

“I can really relate to his mother passing, he can really relate to my father passing. I mean, there’s so many similarities in our life that I feel like I’m at a really happy, good space.”

 She also says that she and HMK were friends for “six or seven years” before they made the choice to settle down in a relationship full of pre-meditated stunts and shows.

“I don’t know why it took so long for us to get together, but I think I needed to go through all my experiences.” Watch more of Oprah’s kandid konversation with the Kardashian Klan on Sunday at 8PM ET.
