Co-parenting in the spotlight is no walk in the park, and Kim Kardashian’s recent revelations about her ex-husband Kanye West’s (now known as Ye) involvement with their children shed light on the complexities of their post-divorce dynamic. During an emotional and candid interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kim opened up about the challenges of raising their four children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—while navigating Ye’s sporadic presence in their lives. When host Alex Cooper asked point-blank, 'When was the last time Kanye saw the kids?', Kim’s hesitant response was telling: 'It’s probably been a couple of months since we’ve heard from him.' But here’s where it gets controversial: despite the distance, Kim remains committed to fostering a relationship between her children and their father, even when it’s far from easy.
Kim explained that their children have always been aware of Ye’s globetrotting lifestyle, from his tours to his penchant for living in different countries. 'They’ve adapted to everything,' she shared, emphasizing her role as a stabilizing force in their lives. 'My job as their mom is to ensure they stick to their routine and stay healthy and happy.' And this is the part most people miss: while Kim maintains a positive outlook, she doesn’t shy away from acknowledging the emotional toll. 'It’s not easy, no matter what,' she admitted, adding that she’ll always prioritize her children’s well-being, even if it means setting boundaries with Ye. For instance, if a visit feels unhealthy, she’ll suggest alternatives, like meeting at her home or rescheduling.
The conversation took a deeper turn when Kim discussed the 'toxic' aspects of her marriage, particularly Ye’s negative remarks about her family and their children. 'There were a lot of things I wouldn’t deal with,' she revealed, highlighting her decision to end the relationship to protect her loved ones. Boldly, she stated, 'If someone feels that way, then we shouldn’t be together.'* Her trust was further shattered when Ye publicly aired personal matters, leaving her feeling emotionally unsafe. Is it ever okay to prioritize personal happiness over a troubled relationship, especially when children are involved? It’s a question that sparks debate.
Kim also recounted a particularly unsettling incident during one of Ye’s 'episodes,' where she returned home to find their garage empty—five Lamborghinis, gone. 'He gifted them to all his friends,' Ye explained, leaving Kim feeling anxious and unstable. 'You never know what you’re going to get when you wake up,' she shared, underscoring the lack of predictability that ultimately led to her decision to end the marriage. Here’s the thought-provoking part: Kim chose to leave not just for herself, but to set a healthy example for her children. 'I had to save myself to be a better mom,' she said, hoping her kids will understand her choice when they’re older.
This story isn’t just about celebrity drama—it’s a raw look at the sacrifices parents make, the complexities of co-parenting, and the courage it takes to prioritize mental health. What do you think?
