Reality star and business mogul Kim Kardashian has joined the elite club of women featured on the GQ cover of the magazine's 'Men of the Year' issue.
Friends star Jennifer Aniston was the first in 2005. Other notable women to grace the cover of the special edition include Shailene Woodley, Megan Thee Stallion, and Jennifer Lopez.
Kim Kardashian stunned readers with a series of high-fashion and stylish photos and an exclusive interview in the publication.
Talking to writer Sean Manning for the interview, Kim Kardashian spoke about life after her divorce from Ye, formerly Kanye West, her clothing brand Skims, and her late father Robert Kardashian. She was joined by her mother Kris Jenner and her sisters.
During the interview, Manning shared that he spoke to Kim Kardashian's sisters and her close friend Allison Statter and asked them if the Skims co-founder was different now that she had parted ways with Ye. All of them said she had a new sense of confidence, according to the GQ report.
Khloè Kardashian said: "Not that she wasn't confident before, but it's a different assurance that she has in herself. She knows she can do it on her own. She knows the power that she has within herself, as opposed to thinking the power was in someone else's hands."
"I know how scared she was to do it," Statter told the magazine. "Cause deep down inside, she wanted her family to stay together. And because she was like, 'I don't know what life is going to be like on the other side of this.' I was just so proud of her."
Kim Kardashian's Skims empire continues to grow with the launch of its new men's range. The star is also appearing in the 12th season of the smash hit show American Horror Story.
Reminiscing about her late father and his vision of her future, Kim Kardashian shared a particularly memorable conversation she had with the late Robert Kardashian.
She recounted that he said: "I know you're going to be OK. It's almost like I can see ahead. I know you're going to be OK, but just take care of your siblings for me. Just make sure you take care of them."
Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Ye in early 2021 through divorce lawyer Laura Wasser; the couple had been married for six years at that point.
In an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that was aired in June 2021 but filmed in October 2020, Kim Kardashian spoke to her mother Jenner and mentioned how she was unhappy in her marriage.
Newsweek has contacted Kim Kardashian's publicist via email for comment.
