Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are Reportedly Getting a Divorce
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are getting a divorce, reportedly.
Various sources have revealed that the iconic Hollywood couple might just be getting a divorce after Kim Kardashian was reported to have hired Laura Wasser, a celebrity divorce attorney.
The source reveals that although the couple has decided to keep the issue on the hush, they are already having settlement talks with their attorneys.
This report does not come as an absolute surprise as there have been public issues surrounding the couple that showed that all might not be well at home. For example, 40-year-old Kim has not been seen wearing her wedding ring in public for a long time.
They also spent the recent holidays apart, with Kanye West hunching up in his $14 million ranch in Wyoming while Kim joined the Kardashian family in their heavily criticized over-the-top holiday celebrations.
According to the source, it was Kim who made Kanye go all the way up to Wyoming so they could have sufficient distance between them as they both worked on finalizing the divorce. Apparently, Kim had tried her best to help Kanye get through his struggle with his mental health and it had just reached a point where she could take it no more.
As Page Six reports, the source further reveals that Kim “…is serious about taking the bar exam and becoming a lawyer. She is serious about her prison reform campaign. Meanwhile, Kanye is talking about running for president and saying other crazy s–t, and she’s just had enough of it.”
While Kim’s frustrations are duly registered, another source comes up to prove that Kanye West might just be equally tired of the marriage himself. This separate source says that over the years, Kanye had continued to grow irritated by the Kardashians’ extravagant celebrity lifestyles. He also calls their reality show ‘unbearable’ and has constantly made it clear that he simply wants to be rid of them.
You would recall that in July, Kanye West tweeted about how he had been trying to get a divorce from Kim – “I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Warldolf [sic] for ‘prison reform,’” Warldolf, in this case, refers to a criminal justice summit Kim attended with American rapper, Meek Mill in November of 2018.
Many times, he also called out the Kardashian family for trying to force him into psychiatric treatment. He’s called Kim’s manager, Kris Jenner, a few descriptive names – popular among which is ‘Kris Jong-Un.’
The source also had information on how Kanye almost didn’t show up for Kim’s million-dollar 40th birthday in Tahiti. Apparently, he had just shown up at the party fashionably late, dropped the hologram of her father he got for her as a present and refused to take any pictures. He left just as soon as he came too.
If they are really having settlement talks, then a major problem would be deciding who takes over their $52 million family home in Calabasas, California which they renovated for a whopping $20 million. Since that is where their four children are based, whoever gets custody might determine who gets the house. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have a combined net worth of $4.1 billion and while a major part of the settlement talks will involve how their properties will get divided, their estate might not suffer that great a blow from the divorce.

If the rumors turn out true, this would be Kim’s third divorce. Lauren Wasser was Kim’s divorce attorney at the end of her second marriage with Kris Humphrey. This attorney has also advocated for the likes of Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie, and a few other big stars. With that kind of experience, the divorce is expected to be smooth, cordial, and confidential.
The couple have been married since 2014 and are blessed with four children- North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, in that order.
