Current Events Kim and kanye head South(West) Mary Clare Jones Well, if 2021 couldn’t get any crazier, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, one of Hollywood’s biggest couples, are preparing for divorce. A friend of Kardashian told CNN that the couple “have been living separately for the last few months” and “have discussed divorce.” West has been residing at his $14 million ranch in Wyoming for the past couple of months, including over the holidays, while Kardashian has stayed with their four children. Kardashian hired famous divorce lawyer Laura Wasser and as one source told People Magazine, “it is inevitable”. Kim Kardashian, most famous for being a part of the Kardashian dynasty and on the hit reality TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, first met Kanye West, 21-time Grammy winner in 2003, where they quickly became friends. They were first seen as a couple in early 2012, but West had already referenced his love for Kardashian in many songs, including “Cold” and “Knock You Down.” The pair announced they were expecting their first child together in December 2012, and in June of the next year, their daughter, North, was born. In May 2014, the couple married in an extravagant ceremony in Florence, Italy. However, the couple has not been drama-free as they have been through many scandals during their six-year marriage. West has had a long-lasting feud with the pop star Taylor Swift, after he ran on stage as Swift won best female video at the MTV Music Awards, to tell her that “Beyonce had had the best music video of all time.” On an episode of TMZ Live in 2018, Kanye declared that “slavery was a choice,” and later included Kardashian’s furious response to his claim in his song, “Wouldn’t Leave”. In June of 2020, West claimed his wife was a billionaire via Twitter, although Forbes revealed that she hadn’t earned that title as she had an estimated worth of $900 million. To top it all off, in July of 2020, West announced he was entering the 2020 presidential race, and Kardashian appeared to support his decision, although she disagreed on many of his political platforms. Weeks later,
West wrote a string of tweets about the Kardashian family that have since been deleted. Kim responded on an Instagram story saying, “Kanye has bipolar disorder” and that her family was “powerless” in getting him help since he is an adult. And now, in January of 2021, Page Six broke the news that the couple is splitting. While we wait for the news on this famous couple’s future, at least we can rest easy knowing that the drama is bound to be featured on the upcoming and final season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians set to air sometime this year.
