Kim Kardashian has publicly expressed ongoing concerns regarding the challenges associated with co-parenting with her former spouse, Kanye West, as documented in the most recent episode of The Kardashians.
During a vehicle conversation with Scott Disick, Ms. Kardashian, 45, articulated the emotional strain arising from disagreements with Mr. West, 48. Mr. Disick acknowledged the apparent stress she has been enduring, referencing public commentary concerning the situation.
Ms. Kardashian stated that she experiences significant frustration when Mr. West questions her integrity or capabilities as a parent. She further noted that although she sometimes feels compelled to react impulsively, she refrains from doing so in the interest of maintaining a stable environment for their children.
Ms. Kardashian emphasized that she has made consistent efforts to promote a constructive relationship between Mr. West and their four minor children—North (12), Saint (9), Chicago (7), and Psalm (6). In response to an off-camera remark noting that Mr. West’s public statements are often highly visible, she explained that her current approach is to avoid engaging publicly, believing this to be the most prudent course of action.
She added that her primary responsibility is to remain emotionally steady and present for the children as their most consistent caregiver.
Representatives for Mr. West were contacted for comment.
Ms. Kardashian has previously addressed the difficulty of the co-parenting arrangement. In a 2022 interview on the Angie Martinez IRL podcast, she stated that she has sought to shield the children from public controversies involving their father. She indicated that she intends to answer any future questions the children may have and acknowledged the emotional hardship she has experienced, referencing her own upbringing under her late father, attorney Robert Kardashian.
The parties were married in 2014 in Italy, following the birth of their eldest child. Ms. Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021, and the dissolution was finalized the following year. Mr. West subsequently married Bianca Censori, an Australian model and architectural professional.
In an October appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Ms. Kardashian discussed the limited and intermittent contact between Mr. West and the children, noting that he communicates with them when he chooses to initiate contact.
Despite public speculation, Ms. Kardashian asserted that she has never obstructed Mr. West’s access to the children. She stated that she does not engage publicly to counter online narratives, even though the circumstances are, in her words, difficult and burdensome.#newsafro_
