Is Kim in Love with Saul? Breaking Down a Complex Bond

A Relationship Built on Chaos and Care

From their first on-screen moments in Better Call Saul, it was obvious that Kim Wexler and Jimmy McGill (a.k.a. Saul Goodman) shared something... different. Not just chemistry. Not just a shared love for bending the rules. But something deeper, more complicated. So yeah — it’s fair to ask: Is Kim actually in love with Saul?

Well, yes. But also... not exactly in the way you might think.

It Started With Jimmy, Not Saul

Let’s get this straight first. Kim fell for Jimmy McGill, the struggling, scrappy, charming underdog — not the sleazy, commercialized persona of Saul Goodman. In Season 1 and 2, we see Kim genuinely rooting for Jimmy’s success, even when he pulls ridiculous stunts (like the billboard thing). There’s eye-rolling, sure. But also loyalty.

Her love was, at first, grounded in shared struggle, mutual admiration, and probably that spark of rebellion they both had. But as Jimmy gradually slid into Saul, the dynamic shifted. And Kim? She didn’t exactly walk away.

Kim’s Attraction to Risk (and Saul)

The thrill of the con

One of the most telling things about Kim’s feelings comes in their cons. Remember the Mesa Verde hustle? Or the Huell setup? Kim doesn’t just tolerate Jimmy’s schemes — sometimes she initiates them. It’s like chaos turns her on. For real.

There’s something undeniably exhilarating for Kim in playing outside the system — especially since she spends most of her life inside strict legal frameworks. Saul represents the wild, the freedom, the “screw the rules” energy she secretly craves.

But wait… is that love? Or addiction?

A love that’s half-romance, half-escape

Let’s not romanticize it too much. Kim’s connection with Saul often reads like she’s trying to escape her own life — the corporate law machine, the expectations, the endless professionalism. Saul is her break from that.

So yeah, she’s in love — but maybe more with who she is when she’s with Saul, than with Saul himself.

The Breaking Point: When It’s Too Much

The Lalo Salamanca situation

When Jimmy returns traumatized from his desert run with Lalo’s money, Kim shifts from amused co-conspirator to serious protector. Her line: “You don’t save me. I save me.” She doesn’t say that to someone she doesn’t love. That’s raw, vulnerable honesty.

But then comes the turning point: Howard Hamlin’s death. It’s too far. It’s the price of their game, and it’s horrifying. You can actually see the light drain from Kim’s eyes. Her silence, her guilt, the way she walks away... that’s not indifference. That’s heartbreak.

Love can’t survive lies forever

After Howard’s death, Kim lies under oath. She tries to carry on, but it eats at her. In the end, she leaves not because she stops loving Saul, but because she still does. And that love becomes unbearable. Too heavy. Too corrupted.

It’s tragic, really.

The Final Season: Is There Still Love?

That phone call (you know the one)

In the black-and-white Gene timeline, Jimmy calls Kim. It’s strained. Awkward. But beneath the surface? Still care. Still tension. Still... something.

When Kim returns to Albuquerque and signs her confession, it’s not just about justice. It’s about closure — for herself and for him. And when she shows up at that prison to see him... yeah, that look? That silence?

It screams love. Twisted, wrecked, but still flickering.

So... yes. But it’s complicated.

Let’s be honest — this isn’t a fairytale romance. This is love that’s bruised, codependent, tainted by mutual destruction. But real? Yeah, very. Kim didn’t love just Saul Goodman. She loved the man behind the mask — and lost parts of herself in the process.

Conclusion: Kim Loved Saul. But She Couldn’t Live With Him.

So, is Kim in love with Saul?
Yes. She was. Maybe she still is.
But more importantly — she chose to walk away from him, and from that version of herself. That takes strength. That’s also love — the hard, painful kind that doesn’t end in “happily ever after.”

And in the Better Call Saul universe, that might be as close as anyone gets.
