"After I lost my mother, there were times I felt like I would put my life at risk," West revealed on Jenner's talk show. "I felt like sometimes I didn't have something to live for, and now I have two really special people to live for, a whole family to live for, a whole world to live for."
Kardashian expressed her love for West in an Instagram message complete with a collage of pictures of the couple last June.
"Happy Birthday to my best friend, the love of my life, my soul," Kardashian exclaimed on Instagram. "I love you beyond words!"
