Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s marriage is about to end, Page Six is reporting. The outlet claimed multiple sources told them that a divorce filing "is imminent." "They are keeping it low-key but they are done,” one source said. “Kim has hired [top celebrity divorce attorney] Laura Wasser and they are in settlement talks.”
The source added that West’s political ambitions were part of what drove Kardashian to end their marriage. “She is serious about taking the bar exam and becoming a lawyer, she is serious about her prison reform campaign," the source said. "Meanwhile Kanye is talking about running for president and saying other crazy sh*t, and she’s just had enough of it.”
A separate source told the outlet that West had become uncomfortable with the Kardashian family and their reality show lives. West “is completely over the entire family…He wants nothing to do with them," that source said. The source added that West now finds their reality show “unbearable.”
West and Kardashian got married in 2014. The couple shares four children: North, 7; Saint, 5; Chicago, 2; and Psalm, 1.
Reports of West and Kardashian splitting comes less than a month after Entertainment Tonight reported that Kardashian was deciding whether or not she wanted to stay together with West longterm. Entertainment Tonight's source said in early December, "Kim is exhausted from continually trying but keeps their vows in mind when making any pertinent decisions. And Kanye is working on his psychological health and mental state. The family and Kanye are still in contact and everyone wants the best for Kanye, Kim, their kids and the rest of the family."
The source added that Kardashian believes West "needs to work on himself before he can work on the well-being of anyone else," and that "Kim’s family will support her in any decision she makes, but she feels that the most important thing to recognize before making any choice is realizing what’s best for the kids, herself, Kanye and the rest of the family, essentially in that order."
