The keys that explain the end of the marriage of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
Just over six years after getting married, it seems that Kim Kardashian (40) has said enough to Kanye West (43), for the sake of her four children. She may not have run out of love, but patience has. As the reality star and businesswoman spent Christmas with his family in a rented mansion on Lake Tahone, between California and Nevada, nothing is known about the rapper after his disconcerting attempt to become president of the United States.
The artist has been since November 4 without showing signs of life on social networks. That day he voted for himself in an election where he did not get more than 60,000 votes in the entire country. Then he locked himself up on his Wyoming ranch.
Apparently, the couple has been separated de facto for a little over a year, and the rapper's surreal presidential race has been the last straw for the eldest of the Kardashian sisters, who has fought for her marriage, first trying to make it happen. her husband will accept help to treat his bipolar disorder and then go to couples therapy. That during the campaign he insulted his mother-in-law, Kris Jenner; That he revealed intimate details such as that he wanted his wife to abort his first daughter, or that they both wanted to lock him up in a mental hospital, has ended up blowing up a solid and profitable marriage. After those attacks, Kim had no choice but to explain that her husband suffers from bipolar disorder, something that he had already dropped in one of her social media posts. In fact, when she was diagnosed with this mental illness, the socialite forced the producers of Keeping up with the Kardashians not to know, under threat of abandoning the family reality show.
Any statement they make about the details of her breakup could damage her image when negotiating divorce or child custody
None of them have confirmed that they are in divorce proceedings, something prudent due to their popularity, their fortune and especially their four children: North (7), Saint (5), Chicago (2) and Psalm (1). Any statement that Kim or Kanye make about the details of their breakup could hurt their image when negotiating divorce or child custody.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West met around 2003 thanks to the fact that they are both friends with Brandy Norwood, with whom Kanye recorded the song Talk about our love in 2004. They met again ten years later. During that time, West was engaged to designer Alexis Phifer and Kardashian dated athlete Reggie Bush. Then the rapper began a relationship with model Amber Rose. While the influencer invested 4 million dollars in her televised wedding with basketball player Kris Humphries, from which she separated 72 days later. It was her second wedding for her, because between 2000 and 2004 she was married to music producer Damon Thomas.
When West learned that Kardashian would be marrying Humphries, she went out of her way to prevent that wedding. Finally, in April 2012, they both decided to give themselves a chance, although she was not yet divorced. The couple closed that year by announcing pregnancy. They got engaged on October 21, 2013, the socialite's 33rd birthday. Almost a year later, they were married in a lavish wedding at the Forte Belvedere castle in Florence in Italy, with a previous party in the Hall of Mirrors of the Palace of Versailles in Paris, in which she sang Lana del Rey.
She enrolled in law while he insisted on running for the unlikely president of the United States.
In 2015 her second child, Saint West, was born. Kim had had risky pregnancies and her next two children, Chicago and Psalm, came through surrogates; the little one will be two years old on May 10. In addition to the harsh news of knowing that she could not bear more children, Kim Kardashian had to face an armed robbery alone at her hotel at Paris Fashion Week 2016, a trauma that she had to overcome almost without her husband, who in November of that year he was admitted to the psychiatry unit of the UCLA hospital in Los Angeles after canceling his Saint Pablo Tour.
After these episodes and the birth of their fourth child, it seemed that everything was going well for the large family. She was involved in unfairly defending prison inmates and enrolled in law, following in the footsteps of her father, Robert Kardashian. He insisted on running for the 46th president of the United States. Strange tweets of her began, including one in which she said that he had tried to separate from her wife when in November 2018 she met rapper Meek Mill at a hotel. West deleted all the messages ipso facto, but the damage was done.
The last post in which Kim refers to Kanye is from November 22, 2020, on the 10th anniversary of the album of this My beautiful dark twisted fantasy. The businesswoman shared that the song Lost in the world was based on a poem he wrote for her. Then came a Christmas that they have not shared and the intense rumors of divorce.
In addition to being the parents of a large family, the couple has a lot of money and property. It will not be easy to decide what is whose
In addition to being parents of a large family, the couple has a lot of money and properties that must now be divided according to California laws, according to which in the event of divorce the value of all income and assets obtained during the marriage must be divided. It will not be easy to decide what is whose. Not counting her properties, Kim Kardashian has a fortune of about $ 900 million - about 750 million euros - and earns about $ 70 million a year. Her annual earnings come from appearing at public events, her reality show, and her Instagram endorsements. She also has lines of tanning and makeup products, clothing with the Sears company and her own brand of lingerie. Her most valuable asset is the 72% she still owns of her company KKW Beauty, which generates more than 100 million gross income a year.
For her part, the artist, who annually earns about 80 million dollars, amasses about 3,000 million - about 2,500 million euros -, largely due to her copyright and her brand Yeezy, associated with Adidas . He also owns KW Foods LLC, which owns the Fatburger fast food chain in Chicago.
She owns the land the family home occupies, but West owns the property.
The distribution of that joint estate estimated at 4,000 million dollars, in addition to numerous properties such as the Calabasas mansion, in which both have lived since their wedding, will be a source of tough negotiations in a long and mediatic divorce that is coming. For example, she owns the land the house occupies, but West owns the family mansion.
For now, Kim Kardashian has already taken positions by hiring the lawyer Laura Wasser, who has already handled her second divorce, and has worked for other celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. This lawyer always advises that the couple try to reach an amicable agreement. It will be necessary to see if the influencer and the rapper can do it.
