Kanye hoped he was 'cool enough' to be Kim's boyfriend

If you were ever doubtful of the sincerity of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's relationship, the following interview should change that.

In an interview with E! Online, the rapper shared that he misses his wife while they are apart, especially now more so during his 39-date Saint Pablo tour. He also revealed that before he put a ring on Kim's finger, he had tried really really hard for the star to notice him.

"Her [spirit] was there even before she was my girlfriend," Kanye told E! News' Ken Baker.

"I would do these performances and hope that she would see me in my cool outfit and think that I would be cool enough to be her boyfriend."

It's almost hard to believe there's somebody he wanted in his life more than himself. But there's no denying that he's head over heels for Kim. He also said that he misses his family "more than anything" and can't make it through the day without talking to his wife.

Kim and Kanye tied the knot on May 24, 2014 and have two children together, daughter North and son Saint.
