46-year-old American reality TV star Kim Kardashian has revealed details of her life after divorcing rapper Kanye West in the authorized biography "Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Built the Future" by journalist Jonathan Van Meter. According to Wave RBC.UA, Kardashian admitted that despite a complicated relationship following their breakup, she continues to worry about her ex-husband and makes an effort to maintain his bond with their four children.
Anxiety that didn't disappear after divorce
Kardashian explained that the divorce did not strip her of her sense of responsibility for her former spouse. "He is the father of my children. I will never stop worrying about him," the TV star stated. She described the situation of raising children with someone whom it is difficult to find common ground with as "a heavy emotional burden." At the same time, Kardashian emphasizes that she tries to protect her children from conflicts between the parents.
Boundaries and calmer interaction
According to Kardashian, her therapist advises setting clearer personal boundaries in communication with her ex-husband. The TV star herself notes that lately, interactions with West have become calmer, partly because they communicate very little. "We manage to co-parent without excessive conflicts," she shared. Communication with the rapper, according to her, is maintained primarily through his current wife, Bianca Censori, or West's manager.
Co-parenting four children
Kardashian shared that she regularly invites West to spend time with the children—for dinner, walks, or overnight stays. She even offers to leave the house herself so that the rapper can have dinner with the kids in a familiar environment. For the sake of the children's meetings with their father, the TV star says she is ready to put aside grievances stemming from West's negative statements about her.
Connection with the ex-husband's family
Kim Kardashian also maintains close relationships with her ex-husband's family and encourages their communication with the children. Last Christmas, she invited West to stay for Christmas Eve and bring his wife Bianca Censori; she plans to extend a similar invitation this year, according to her.
Relationship timeline
To recap, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West married in 2014, and their divorce was finalized in 2022. The couple has four children: 13-year-old North, 10-year-old Saint, 8-year-old Chicago, and 7-year-old Psalm. The publication of the biography "Citizen Kim" has marked one of the few instances where Kardashian has commented in such detail on the routine of co-parenting after divorce.
