Kim Kardashian has revealed her struggles from her ‘toxic’ marriage to rapper Kanye West, with whom she shares North, Chicago, Psalm and Saint. The TV personality, 44, and Kanye, 48, tied the knot in 2014, but she filed for divorce seven years later, citing irreconcilable differences.
Their divorce was finalised in November 2022, with the two agreeing to share joint custody of their four children. Three years on, Kim has admitted she finds it hard to date and opened up about the difficulties she has with co-parenting. Speaking to Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast, she said she was attracted to Ye because of his intelligence.
She said he was ‘larger than life’ and the two ‘had such a fun time’ together.

However, their relationship soon crumbled, and Kanye soon started to publicly hit out at his family.
“When someone has like their first mental break, you want to be super supportive and you want to help figure that out and be there for them,” she explained.
“But when someone isn’t willing to make changes that I think would’ve been super healthy and beneficial, it makes it really hard to continue on in a relationship that can be toxic.”
Having children made it difficult for her to leave, and she stayed with the rapper, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016 but later claimed he was misdiagnosed, in hopes he would improve.
When things never improved, she decided to leave and show their kids a ‘good example of setting boundaries’.
“I had to save myself in order to be a better mum for everyone,” Kim admitted. “And I think when everyone’s older they’ll be able to understand it and see that all.”
When asked about what the ‘final straw’ was, she said: “There was just a lot of things that I wouldn’t deal with. I didn’t like the talking bad about my kids’ grandmother, aunts – if someone feels that way, then we shouldn’t be together. You know, airing out a lot of stuff, a lot of personal stuff.”
She didn’t feel safe ’emotionally or financially’, explaining: “I mean we had five Lamborghinis and I’d come home and they’d all be gone if he was in an episode. And I’d be like, ‘Oh, hey where’s all our cars? My new car.’ And it would be like, ‘oh, he gave them away to all of his friends.’
“And then I’d come home again and at a different point we had five more Lamborghinis and then he’d wake up in another episode and they’d all be gone again. But you didn’t know what you’re going to get [from Kanye] when you wake up. And that’s a really unsettling feeling. It’s a lack of stability.”
