Kim Kardashian

Various reports from this year have made it seem like Kanye West are Kim Kardashian are getting divorced after months and months of rumors about struggles in their relationship. It’s important to note, though, that neither West nor Kardashian have publicly confirmed the split. Whatever the case may be, it appears there’s still love between the two, as Kardashian took some time out of her day today to share a message for West on his 44th birthday.

On Instagram this afternoon, Kardashian shared a photo of herself, West, and their three children, and captioned it, “Happy Birthday. Love U for Life!” She also shared three more West photos on her Instagram Story: One of West in 1987, one of herself and West, and one of her and West with their kids.

Meanwhile, Khloé Kardashian also did a birthday post about West, sharing a photo of herself with Kim, West, and Tristan Thompson. She wrote, “Happy birthday to my brother for life!!! Have the best birthday Ye! Sending you love and endless blessings!!”

This comes shortly after a new episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians on which Kardashian tearfully said, “I honestly can’t do this anymore. […] I think he deserves someone that can go support his every move, and go follow him all over the place, and move to Wyoming. I can’t do that. He should have a wife that supports his every move and travels with him and does everything, and I can’t. I feel like a f*cking failure, that it’s like, a third f*cking marriage. Yeah, I feel like a f*cking loser.”

As for West, he celebrated his birthday by releasing a single item from his highly anticipated Yeezy Gap line at 3 in the morning.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s divorce is proceeding relatively smoothly, all things considered. According to TMZ, Kanye has filed a response to Kim’s divorce petition, and it appears they are on the same page. Kanye asks for joint custody of their four kids, as both remain committed to co-parenting. Kanye also wants to ensure that neither party receives spousal support and both pay their own legal fees. Considering both have had headlines valuing them at a billion dollars each in recent months, they should both be able to manage without it — even after taking iffy accounting into, well, account.

The couple signed a prenuptial agreement, so TMZ doesn’t foresee any issues dividing their respective assets. And while Kanye’s filing is a little late — Kim filed her documents back in February — there won’t be any problems there either. In the wake of Kim’s filing, People reported that Kanye attributed her decision to his failed presidential campaign, although it was clear in hindsight that trouble had been brewing for a while. Kanye’s outburst at a South Carolina campaign rally came after several social media explosions, including one in July of 2020 in which he claimed Kim tried to “lock me up” and called out her mother Kris, and similar rants in 2018 in which he seemed to draw a link between Kim and their neighbor/Kanye’s rival Drake.
