Socialite Kim Kardashian says she is enjoying Kanye West's company because the rapper is her first boyfriend who's older than her. The 31-year-old has previously dated younger men including singer Ray J and sports stars Miles Austin and Reggie Bush. Her estranged husband Kris Humphries was also five years her junior.

But the socialite admits one of the reasons she's attracted to West, 35, is his age, reports dailystar.co.uk.

"Before, all my boyfriends were younger. I always dated five years younger. Now I just love that I'm with someone that's a couple (of) years older than me,” She told talk show host Oprah Winfrey in an interview.

Kardashian also insists she's "totally growing up" since dating West, and moving on following her 72-day marriage to Humphries.

"It's like how (my sister) Kourtney had this epiphany when she had her baby and she changed into a different person, I feel like I've had an epiphany over the last year. For what I've been through... I am that changed person, just from my own experiences,” she said.
