Throughout January and February, Kim Kardashian had some kind of weird deal with People Magazine where they ran weekly exclusives about her headspace and how she was feeling before and then after she filed for divorce from Kanye. It was pretty weird, especially since no one really acknowledged the fact that Kim was basically showing People Mag her diary entries every week and talking about herself in the third person. Well, we?re back to that:
Kim Kardashian and Kanye Wests divorce is proceeding smoothly, a source tells PEOPLE. Kim, 40, filed for divorce from the 43-year-old rapper in February after nearly seven years of marriage. Amid their split, the pair are continuing to prioritize the well-being of their four kids: North, 7, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3 and Psalm, who turns 2 next month.
Kim and Kanye are getting along, the source tells PEOPLE. They have both stayed true to their commitment to make the best situation for the kids. Kim is very happy that they have managed to keep things calm. She thinks Kanye is a good dad. She wants him to be able to spend as much time with the kids as he wants.
The source adds that Kim seems happier since the split, which came after a tumultuous period for the pair. For every week that goes by since she filed for divorce, Kim seems happier, the source says now. She knows that filing for divorce was the right decision. The kids are doing as good as she could hope.
West is requesting joint legal and physical custody of their children, according to a legal response filed by his attorney earlier this month and obtained by PEOPLE last week. Since filing for divorce, Kim and the kids have continued to live in the Hidden Hills mansion she shared with West. A source previously told PEOPLE that thats where the reality star plans on staying.
They both agree that the less stress the kids experience, the better. Kanye loves his kids. He wants them to be happy, the source said. He doesnt want to fight with Kim about anything.

I don?t believe her. I think all things considered, the divorce is going somewhat smoothly, but it?s early days and recently Kanye has begun to make a fuss in the media. I feel like this could easily go sideways on Kim, but I also believe that she?s protecting herself and the kids. Meanwhile, don?t you want to hear about how many men want to date Kim?
Kim Kardashian is earning the title of ?most eligible billionaire bachelorette? following her split from Kanye West, Page Six has learned. A source told us the KKW Beauty CEO is being courted by the cream of the crop of potential suitors.
?People are reaching out through mutual friends and people that she?s worked with to set her up with everyone from royal family members to A-list actors to athletes to billionaire CEOs,? a source said, adding, ?People are also trying to reach out to her via DM.?
Although Kardashian, 40, is being flooded with a bevy of dating options, we?re told the soon-to-be single mom is ?not looking for anyone right now.?
?She?s not looking to jump into anything but is keeping an open mind,? a source said. While a source previously told us that Kardashian?s estranged husband, Kanye West, wants to date ?an artist? in the next chapter of his life, the ?Keeping Up With the Kardashians? star is ?not on the hunt to date anyone in a specific field.? An insider said the reality star would prefer for her next relationship to just happen ?organically,? although there are certain characteristics she wants in her next partner.
?The qualities most important to her are someone who values family, is supportive, fun, romantic, enjoys the simple things and is also hardworking,? a source said. ?Someone who values family first and foremost because she?s a mom of four kids.?
Over the weekend, Kardashian had one of her first nights out as a single woman. Photos of her with Colombian singer Maluma sparked dating rumors, but multiple sources told Page Six on Monday the pair are ?just friends.?
?Miami the other night was a lot of fun,? a source said. ?It felt great to be out and there were certainly people trying to shoot their shot that night, but she wasn?t paying it any mind and just loved having a fun night out with old friends.?
The insider reiterated that Kardashian is ?really focused on her kids and work? right now ? i.e., not dating ? but added that when she is ready, one dealbreaker, in particular, will spoil any suitor?s chances. ?She certainly wouldn?t want anyone to be with her for the spotlight,? the source said, adding that the social media mogul really wants ?someone who values privacy.?
[From Page Six]
Kim, come on. ?There were certainly people trying to shoot their shot that night, but she wasn?t paying it any mind?? I guess we?re supposed to believe Maluma is hot for Kim? Doubtful. More like some sleazy Miami influencers were trying to get photos with her. Don?t get me wrong, I bet there are some dudes who want to date her, but I don?t really believe that she has rock stars, princes, CEOs and A-list actors sliding into her DMs.

It was no secret that Kim Kardashian was and is insanely jealous of her half-sister Kylie Jenner. Kylie built a massively successful business (Kylie Cosmetics) out of her childhood room, and at Kris Jenner?s kitchen table. Kylie Cosmetics has grown into a billion-dollar business because Kylie was just doing something somewhat organic to her (lip kits) and she ended up finding a hole in the cosmetics market. Kylie also had so little overhead for the entire business. So, yeah, Kim was jealous. She was dying to create her own billion-dollar business but for the longest time, Kim?s businesses were only ?moderately? successful. In that, she made millions, but not billions. Then SKIMS happened. Kim wanted to revolutionize the industry of shapewear and she absolutely did. SKIMS, more than anything else, is Kim?s billion-dollar business. But the other stuff helps, which is why Kim is now officially a ?billionaire? according to Forbes:
When Kim Kardashian West was first mentioned in the pages of Forbes in 2011, it was simply a tally of her Twitter followers: 6.6 million, just below Barack Obama and just above Ashton Kutcher. Five years later, she graced the cover of Forbes thanks to her booming mobile game, which helped her earn $51 million that year. Now, she officially joins the World?s Billionaires list for the first time.
Forbes estimates that Kardashian West is now worth $1 billion, up from $780 million in October, thanks to two lucrative businesses?KKW Beauty and Skims?as well as cash from reality television and endorsement deals, and a number of smaller investments.
Kardashian West founded KKW Beauty in 2017, following the success of her half-sister Kylie Jenner?s Kylie Cosmetics. She borrowed from Kylie?s playbook, using a similar direct-to-consumer model that relies heavily on social media marketing. Her first launch, 300,000 contour kits, sold out within two hours. By 2018, the business had expanded into eyeshadows, concealers, lipsticks and fragrances, and was bringing in about $100 million in revenue.
It?s the first time Ive moved away from having licensing deals and transitioned into being an owner, Kardashian West told Forbes in 2017, when she announced her cosmetics line.
She cashed in on that ownership last year when she sold 20% of KKW Beauty to cosmetics conglomerate Coty for $200 million, a deal that valued the company at $1 billion. While Forbes estimates that figure is a little bloated?Coty, which also bought 51% of Kylie Cosmetics in 2020, is known for overpaying?her remaining 72% stake is still worth about $500 million, by our count.
Then there?s Skims, the shapewear line Kardashian West launched in 2019. She raised money from fashion insiders like Net-a-Porter?s Natalie Massane and Theory?s Andrew Rosen, and capitalized on her massive social media following to shill the brand. (She now has 69.6 million Twitter followers and 213 million followers on Instagram.) Skims has been quick on its feet: During the pandemic, when consumers became more interested in comfy clothes for the couch than in smoothing their stomachs under evening gowns, she swiftly started turning the focus to loungewear.
Kardashian West owns a majority stake in closely-held Skims, which hasn?t disclosed its revenues. A source familiar with Skims told Forbes about a transaction that values the shapewear company north of $500 million. As a result, Forbes estimates her Skims stake is worth a conservative $225 million, enough to lift her fortune to $1 billion.
The rest of Kardashian West?s fortune sits in cash and investments, including real estate. Every year since 2012, she has earned at least $10 million pretax, by Forbes? count, thanks to paychecks from Keeping Up With the Kardashians, endorsement deals and endeavors like the aforementioned mobile game and her now-defunct Kimoji app. She?s also got three properties in Calabasas, northwest of Los Angeles, and a portfolio of blue-chip investments, including shares of Disney, Amazon, Netflix and Adidas that her soon-to-be ex-husband Kanye West gifted her for Christmas in 2017.
[From Forbes]
Yeah, I agree with Forbes? I think their math is correct, unlike their faulty reporting around Kylie Jenner?s empire. If anything, Forbes might be undervaluing some of Kim?s businesses. I do appreciate that they acknowledge that Kim was just blatantly copying Kylie with her KKW Beauty line, because it?s true. KKW Beauty is just the Kmart version of Kylie Cosmetics, and Kim is very much stepping on Kylie?s empire. But whatever. SKIMS is where it?s at. And I didn?t know the Kimoji app was defunct! Damn. Hire people to fix the app!

Kim Kardashian agreed to an interview with the Good Morning Vogue series, and I?m including the video at the end of the post. I mean, love it or hate it but Vogue takes Kim Kardashian seriously. They interview her the same way they?d interview an actress or a socialite. I actually enjoy the interview more because Jonathan Van Meter (the Vogue journalist conducting the GMV interview) takes her seriously and asks her substantive questions about Keeping Up with the Kardashians. It?s better than someone trying to make fun of Kim or act cooler than her or whatever. Kim chatted about a number of things, including KUWTK?s last season (airing right now), Martha Stwart, attending the Met Gala for the first time and her attitude during the pandemic. Some highlights:
Life returning to ?normal? post-pandemic: ?I think this year has been challenging for so many people but I also think that this year was a huge cleanse and just a huge opportunity for people to really be grateful for the simple things and that is a huge ? I think awakening that some people had?. I always try to look at things in a positive way. Even though it has been such a challenging year, it?s a time to regenerate, get creative, spend so much time with family and just this time I?ve been able to spend with my children has been priceless. That part has been so beautiful.?
Celebrities love SKIMS, her shapewear line: Ill never forget. Im obsessed with Martha Stewart. So I was walking in New York and I hear, Kim! Kim! And I turn around and shes like, I just need SKIMS. I love it!? I was like, anything for you! It was just such a proud moment that Martha Stewart wanted SKIMS.?
Wearing the floral Givenchy gown while pregnant at her first Met Gala: When I went to my first Met Ball the theme was punk and I was like what is this? What am I gonna wear? I would have done anything to go so I was just to be happy to be dressed up, the star, who famously wore a floral printed Givenchy gown and gloves while pregnant with daughter North, remembers. Givenchys then-creative director Riccardo Tisci told Kardashian to just embrace the grungy, punk mindset. He was just like, Fk it, youre punk. Like, it is what it is. And I get that. As Im I think more confident in myself, I get that more. I think punk is just an attitude of not giving a fk. [It's] not being not mindful of people and feelings ? it doesnt mean youre a total ahole. It just means that you live your life your way and beat to your own drum. Hopefully, that inspires people to want to do that for themselves.
[From Page Six and People]
Yeah, the floral Givenchy was not punk. It?s fine because it was years ago and people don?t actually care anymore, but it wasn?t punk. Riccardo Tisci kind of screwed her over on that one. As for her humble-bragging about SKIMS? I?ve said it before, but she finally found a niche market in which she?s flourished. I mean, shapewear isn?t really ?niche? but Kim has tried so many different things, it sometimes feels like she fell backwards into a massively successful business completely at random. I keep hearing that SKIMS is a good-quality line though, for whatever that?s worth.

Kim Kardashian must be so mad about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Even before the past week, the royal drama was stealing Kim?s divorce thunder. Kim really wanted people to pay attention to her divorce from Kanye West and how civilized it was and how she?s doing amazing, but not too amazing. Instead, people have largely been ignoring all of it? I mean, there?s the possibility that Kim was actually trying to oversaturate the market for Kardashian-West divorce gossip in some kind of next-level PR to get people tired of her sh-t. But I don?t think so, especially given this story where Kim is trying to tempt people into speculating about how she and Kanye are not even speaking right now.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are not talking following their divorce ? after the rapper changed all his phone numbers and told her she could only contact him through his security. A source exclusively told Page Six that Kanye, 43, abruptly cut himself off from Kim, 40, even before they filed for divorce. But despite the animosity, the source added the pair are continuing to co-parent their children, and Kanye regularly visits them at home while Kim is out.
The source said, ?Even before Kim filed for divorce, Kanye changed his numbers and said, ?You can contact me through my security.? Despite this, she trusts him around the kids. He loves them and is seeing a lot of them. She leaves the house and he arrives and hangs out with the kids. They have an army of nannies so the transition is easy.?
It has been reported that Kim would never keep Kanye from having a relationship with their kids, but that she should not be there when he visits, at his request. Page Six exclusively revealed KimYe were divorcing in January. After intense mediation, Kim filed for divorce on February 19.
[From Page Six]
Yeah, I think the ?army of nannies? and Kanye?s own phalanx of security personnel are probably WHY Kim has been okay with Kanye seeing the kids whenever he wants. Kim knows that there?s backup, and she seems to take pains to remind everyone that he?s really never alone with the children. As for Kanye cutting off contact with Kim? it is what it is. I actually think that was a smart choice? Like, almost a mature choice. Best not to get into shouting matches over the phone or some kind of face-to-face situation where Kanye ends up ranting at her about God nannies and Jesus shoes.

One of the things I hate most of all about celebrity gossip is the constant assessing of pregnant women?s bodies. It?s not so omnipresent these days, but just seven or eight years ago, it was quite common on talk shows and social media to have endless ?debates? about pregnant women?s weight. Remember everything about Jessica Simpson?s first pregnancy in 2013? The poor woman gained weight and no one could shut up about it. Sarah Palin was even chiming in! There were segments on the View about her weight! It was ridiculous. Around the same time as Jessica?s pregnancy, Kim Kardashian was pregnant with North West. It cannot be underestimated how much Kim loathed her two pregnancies. She was absolutely miserable during her pregnancies, and much like Jessica, she gained weight and she was so uncomfortable. And just like Jessica, people could not shut up about it. Kim was recently thinking back to that time and she had some sh-t to say:
Kim Kardashian is opening up about how body shaming during her first pregnancy deeply affected her. The mom of four, 40, wrote a lengthy message on her Instagram Story reflecting on internet and tabloid scrutiny of her body while she was pregnant with her daughter North, who is now 7. Kardashian says the jokes and critiques of her figure were very traumatizing and it can really break even the strongest person.
No matter how public someones life may seem, no one deserves to be treated with such cruelty or judgement for entertainment, she writes. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star says because of the preeclampsia she experienced during her first pregnancy, her body would swell uncontrollably.
I gained 60 lbs and delivered almost 6 weeks early and I cried every single day over what was happening to my body mainly from the pressures of being constantly compared to what society considered a healthy pregnant person should look like, she writes.
Kardashian says she felt so insecure at the time, adding that she had this fear of wondering if I would ever get my pre baby body back. She said the attention grew to the point that she says she couldnt leave the house for months after.
It really broke me, she adds. Luckily I was able to take these frustrating, embarrassing feelings and channel it into motivation to get me where I am today, but to say this didnt take a toll on me mentally would be a lie, Kardashian says.
Im sharing this just to say I really hope everyone involved in the business of shaming and bullying someone to the point of breaking them down might reconsider and instead try to show some understanding and compassion, the reality star adds. You just never fully know what someone is going through behind the scenes and Ive learned through my own experiences that its always better to lead with kindness.
[From People]
Yeah. I felt so sorry for her during her pregnancies. She was so miserable for a million different reasons. What irritated me so much about Kim?s pregnancies and Jessica?s pregnancies was that they are both short, curvy women naturally and they were always going to have uncomfortable/bigger pregnancies. They were never going to look like Gisele during her pregnancy, you know? And I felt like that was missing from all of the toxic dialogue at the time, that every woman?s body is different, that every woman carries differently, that every woman?s body reacts differently to a pregnancy. There was (and perhaps still is) a blanket assumption that someone like Gisele is the norm, and all women should be judged against that standard. There are too many celebrity women who play into those expectations too, and they monetize their healthy pregnancies and their ?postpartum bounce-backs.? Just take all of that commentary out of the gossip ecosystem.

Perhaps I?m wrong, but Kim Kardashian really stopped wearing major pieces of jewelry following the 2016 Paris robbery. The robbers stole the giant diamond ring given to her by Kanye, among other pieces of jewelry she had brought to Paris that trip. One of the lessons Kim took away from that robbery was to stop showing off her high-priced jewels in public. I remember Kanye offering to buy her a replacement diamond and Kim was not into it. I think she still obviously had some major pieces of jewelry, including her engagement ring from Kanye, but she rarely wore them in public post-2016. So? maybe Kanye raided Kim?s jewelry box ahead of the divorce??
Kanye West was trying to sell jewelry he had bought for Kim Kardashian just days before she filed for divorce, a source has claimed. The rapper knew his marriage to Kim, who filed for divorce last week, was over and didnt want to be reminded of the past, the insider added.
In the last two weeks, Kanye was attempting to sell jewelry he had purchased for Kim to at least two top jewelers, the source told The Sun. His friends knew it was over at that point. He really wanted to stay together but she was done. Kanye recently said, I don?t want to be connected to the Kardashian brand anymore but he was so torn because he still very much loves Kim. Although he never ended up selling the jewelry he was talking about how he didnt want to be reminded of the past.
[From The Sun]
Even if I had been robbed at gunpoint and was too traumatized to wear my jewelry in public, I would still be incredibly pissed if my husband was trying to sell my jewelry behind my back. Those pieces were given as gifts! It would be one thing if that was part of their divorce settlement, that Kim would give back some of the gifts Kanye had gotten her. But to do it before she filed for divorce is so awful! God. Divorce him again! And, as always, Kim (or ?sources close to Kardashian?) won?t shut up when People Magazine calls there?s yet another story about how Kim is spending a lot of time with her family, and then the source added this:
The source adds that the SKIMS founder is feeling disappointed that she and West couldnt make their marriage work.
There is no drama between Kim and Kanye. Kim is mostly just disappointed that they couldnt figure out how to stay married, says the source. But it takes two people to create a happy marriage. Kim has felt Kanye is not willing to do the hard work and compromise.
[From People]
I don?t how many different ways Kim is going to say that she did her best and she really tried, but it wasn?t enough and Kanye wouldn?t try hard enough to make it work. But there you go. Jewelry-selling douche!

In early January, the NY Post ran a cover story about how Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were getting a divorce (although no one had filed at the time). Days later, the January 6th insurrection happened and there was a viral tweet making a joke about how Kris Jenner had organized the insurrection to change the subject from Kim?s third divorce. It was a funny joke, but the truth of the matter is that Kim is actually desperate for us to pay attention to the sh-tty state of her marriage. She?s been using People Magazine as her diary and therapist for the past year, telling them all about what?s going on with Kanye and what she?s thinking about their separation and divorce. Now that Kim has finally filed for divorce the news dropped last Friday she?s once again running to People to beg gossips to pay attention to her drama. Some highlights from like three separate People exclusives:
Kim is spending time with family during this difficult time: Although Kim and Kanye have been separated for months, it was still emotional for Kim to actually file for divorce, the source says. She spent the weekend taking care of herself and her kids. She is spending time with her mom, sisters and hasnt been working. Everyone is supportive. Kim feels very lucky to be surrounded by her big family.
Kim is disappointed: There is no drama between Kim and Kanye. Kim is mostly just disappointed that they couldnt figure out how to stay married. But it takes two people to create a happy marriage, the source says. Kim has felt Kanye is not willing to do the hard work and compromise.
They?re in agreement about the divorce terms: According to a source, the stars are in agreement over joint legal and physical custody, neither is contesting the prenup in place, negotiations have progressed and they are nearing a settlement. A separate source tells PEOPLE that the divorce proceedings, including their co-parenting plan, unfolded swiftly. The parenting plan and split of assets came together quickly, in the past few days, the source says. Kim and Kanye basically wanted the same thing.
Sources confirm that Kim is super-amazing: According to the source, Kardashian has been fair and generous as well as thoughtful and caring amid her split from West, who has bipolar disorder. Shes worried about sending him into another tailspin, because thats not good for anyone, especially the kids, the source says. So shes being as gentle and kind as she can be, while still standing up for what she feels she needs to stand up for. A second source says that the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and the rapper are on the same page when it comes to their children. Both of them want nothing but the best for the kids, the source says. They want the kids to be happy. The kids will stay with Kim, but Kanye will be able to see them whenever he wants to. They will work out a schedule that is good for everyone.
[From People Magazine]
?Kardashian has been ?fair and generous? as well as ?thoughtful? and ?caring?? Jeez, Kim, you don?t have to lay it on that thick. It?s crazy because I?m actually on her damn side in this divorce and I believe that she has been very careful to do everything gently. But baby girl really needs to stop telling People Magazine that she?s the most thoughtful, generous, lovely, amazing woman ever. I mean, I know well enough that no one ever wants to give Kim credit for anything positive, so these People leaks are just her way of preemptively defending herself. But YIKES!

Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye West. It was a long time coming, even longer than when we first heard about her plans at the start of the year. It seems Kim was over it completely as early as one year ago, when Kanye began ?running for president? and saying sh-t about their family. Frankly, I think Kim was on edge when Kanye went full MAGA, but sure, running for president and simultaneously committing election fraud by coordinating with Jared Kushner and the Trump campaign did not help matters at all.
Kanye West believes his controversial 2020 presidential run was the tipping point in his marriage to Kim Kardashian. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, 40, filed for divorce from the rapper, 43, on Friday after nearly seven years of marriage. Amid the divorce news, West has been texting people and talking things through, a source tells PEOPLE.
Hes in that place of if only, says the source. If only I had done this, if only I hadnt done that. Hes processing things. He thinks that the Presidential run was the straw that broke the camels back. Before that, there was hope. After that, none. It cost him his marriage.
[From People]
Let?s be real, the presidential run didn?t help, but Kim didn?t decide to divorce him merely because he ran a half-assed ?presidential campaign? which was built and designed specifically by Trump-supporting Republicans for the express purpose of siphoning a marginal amount of swing voters away from Joe Biden. Kim is also divorcing him because he talked sh-t about her family as he was ?campaigning,? and because she?s just done with his whole deal these days. I would also imagine his recent ?Godly Preacher Kanye? act hasn?t helped matters either. People Magazine?s sources also said that Kanye is having a hard time with all of this:
After Kim Kardashian officially filed for divorce from Kanye West on Friday, the rap star, 43, isnt happy but resigned to reality, a source close to West tells PEOPLE.
He knew it was coming, but that doesnt make it any easier, the source says. This is a somber day for him.
The new information comes after a source told PEOPLE that the divorce filing had been amicable, with both West and Kardashian in agreement over joint legal and physical custody.
Its as amicable as possible, but amicable doesnt mean joyful or ideal, the West source tells PEOPLE. It just means that theyre being adults about the whole thing. Kanye is seeing counselors and advisors to help him through this spot. Its rough for him, and he isnt happy, but hes resigned to reality, the insider adds.
The divorce filing ? and new developments ? come just days after a source told PEOPLE that Kanye was not doing well amid the couples split.
He is anxious and very sad. He knows that the marriage is over, and theres nothing that can be done right now, the source said on Wednesday. He also knows what he is losing in Kim.
[From People]
?He also knows what he is losing in Kim. Yeah. I know she?s not anyone?s favorite person and no one will give her credit for anything, but Kim stuck around a lot longer than most women would have. I personally would have been out the door the first time he put on the MAGA hat. She not only stuck around, she still championed him and stroked his ego and defended him publicly and privately. She was ride-or-die, until she wasn?t. Plus, I don?t think Godly Preacher Ye is going to be too happy about being Divorced Dad Ye now.

Kim Kardashian telegraphed this for two months: she filed for divorce from Kanye West, and the news came out on Friday, February 19th. I thought for a while that Kim wanted Kanye to file, and maybe she did, but in the end she was the one who formally pulled the plug. TMZ broke the news, but then People Magazine ran a series of exclusives about what Kim?s thinking and how Kanye feels.
Kim Kardashian has filed to divorce Kanye West after almost 7 years of marriage, but our sources say its as amicable as a divorce can be. Kim is asking for joint legal and physical custody of the couples 4 kids. Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Kanye is fine with the joint custody arrangement, and were told both Kim and Ye are committed to co-parenting together.
Theres a prenup and were told neither party is contesting it. In fact, our sources say they are already far along in reaching a property settlement agreement. The docs, filed by disso queen Laura Wasser, dont list a date of separation its listed as to be determined. The date is almost irrelevant because their split has been so well-chronicled in the news and social media.
It was during the last half of 2020 when things got super rocky for Kimye West launched his Presidential campaign on July 4 and weeks later held a bizarre campaign event in South Carolina. At one point, a sobbing Kanye told a story of a discussion he had with Kim talking about abortion when she was pregnant with their first child. It wasnt long after that when Kanye took a series of shots at the Kardashian/Jenner family on Twitter, at one point referring to the matriarch, Kris Jenner, as Kris Jong-Un.
Multiple sources with direct knowledge told us Kim was ready to call it quits after Kanyes outbursts, if not for Kanye going through a serious bipolar episode. She had felt it would be cruel to end the marriage when he wasnt doing well. Things got so rocky, the couple had been living separately for a few months. He was spending a lot of his time in Wyoming while she was in Calabasas with the kids. The issue? We were told it wasnt contentious or ugly but their differences in lifestyle and politics were chief, among others.
[From TMZ]
I think Kim seriously considered divorcing Kanye back in the end of 2016 and early 2017. Reportedly, she consulted with lawyers then and she weighed her options. In the end, she chose to let Kanye be Kanye and she just stayed in LA with the kids, while he was mostly in Wyoming. They lived completely separate lives as early as one year ago. I assumed, last year, that Kim didn?t file for divorce from Kanye during his manic episode because of what TMZ says she didn?t want to look bad, and she didn?t want to do more damage or leave Kanye when he was in such a bad place.
People Magazine also reported that everything is amicable so far, that they?ve been in agreement with their prenup terms and property division and joint custody. They?re apparently close to a settlement and I seriously doubt Kim will take him to the cleaners or vice versa. They?ve kept their finances separate this whole time except for their real estate. A source told People: They are just not on the same page when it comes to their future as a family. And Kim is okay with it. As for the joint custody, there is one caveat, and TMZ had some very curious wording around it:
Kanye Wests mental health issues will not have an impact on Kim Kardashians move to share custody of their 4 kids, because theres always been a safety net in place and that wont change. Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Kim totally trusts Kanye with their kids. That said given their lifestyle, hes rarely alone with them. In good times and bad, there are almost always caretakers or family members around the children.
While the majority of time is spent with help our sources say Kanyes a great dad, and over the last few months even made a couple trips with just him and some of the kids no additional assistance. Our sources say Kanyes generally not around the kids when hes having a bipolar episode. Kim is asking for joint legal and physical custody, but that doesnt automatically mean its a 50/50 split. Joint custody can be whatever the parents agree to, and historically, Kim cares for the children the lions share of the time and thats not expected to change. Kim feels Kanye is a great dad, and Kanye knows Kims a great mom as well.

Very interesting, right? Kim stresses that he?s a good father, that she trusts him with the kids, but for a while now, she?s had third parties around when Kanye is with the kids, so? it?s not like she actually trusts him to be alone with the kids for any significant amount of time. It will be curious to see how that plays out in the future.

The People Magazine exclusives about Kim Kardashian continue to read like entries from Kim?s diary. I?ve suggested previously that People & Kim have some kind of under-the-table deal for weekly exclusives about what?s going on in her life and the state of her marriage. I still believe that! At least this week?s update feels truthy. People?s sources claim that Kanye West is ?struggling? with the end of his marriage. This too is why Kim hasn?t filed for divorce yet I still believe that Kim is very wary of triggering a manic episode in Kanye, and she?s aware of how her moves might affect his mental health.
By all accounts, Kim Kardashian and estranged husband Kanye West are heading towards divorce ? and a source close to the rapper tells PEOPLE that he is struggling as reality sets in.
Kanye is not doing well, the source tells PEOPLE in its latest issue. He is anxious and very sad. He knows that the marriage is over, and theres nothing that can be done right now. He also knows what he is losing in Kim.
According to sources, 2020 proved to be a trying year for the famous couple. In January 2021, multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE that Kardashian plans to end her marriage with West. They are just not on the same page when it comes to their future as a family, one insider told PEOPLE at the time. And Kim is okay with it.
In addition to Kardashians public support of West, she has also been a mediator between him and her family. She has defended him privately to her family, the source says. She has stood beside him at a time where a few wives would have done that.
While no divorce papers have yet been filed, multiple sources tell PEOPLE that a split is imminent. There is very little hope of reconciliation, says the source. It would have to be a miracle. But Kanye does believe in miracles.
Kardashian, 40, is the primary caregiver for the couples four children: daughters North, 7, and Chicago, 3, and sons Saint, 5, and Psalm, who turns 2 in May. She has told her inner circle that she wants West to be a part of their lives.
Kim has made it clear that Kanye can talk to his children anytime he wants, says the source. She has never threatened to keep him from the kids. She only requires that he is not going to damage them. Kanye can FaceTime the kids anytime he wants. He hasnt been great about that, but everyone is encouraging him to do it.
Kim doesnt want to hurt him, the source continues. She just knows she cant be married to him anymore. He is very aware that she has been a good wife. He still loves her very much. But he understands.

I know this is Kim?s version of events, but I believe this? Weeks ago, we heard that Kanye was over the marriage too, that he couldn?t wait to divorce Kim, but that never rang true for me? Kim really has been ride-or-die, for better or for worse, and Kanye thought she would stay that way forever. She stayed with him even when he was saying and doing some horrendous sh-t. Plus, the current version of Kanye is super-churchy and very ?conservative.? That?s another aspect of it he thinks of himself as a man of God, who knows God?s will, and now he?s just some fallible dude whose wife wants a divorce.
Ye is still wearing his wedding ring too.
