They are one of the most famous couples in the world of showbiz, but after six years of marriage, reports are suggesting it could all be over for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

The couple, who have four children together - North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm, are reportedly thinking about divorce , with Kim not wearing her wedding ring for the last few weeks.

According to Page Six, a source told the publication Kim has already hired a divorce lawyer, with the mum-of-four ready to end her marriage to the famous rapper.

The source said, "They are keeping it low-key but they are done. Kim has hired Laura Wasser and they are in settlement talks. Kim got Kanye to go up there Wyoming so they could live separate lives and quietly get things sorted out to separate and divorce. She’s done.

"She is serious about taking the bar exam and becoming a lawyer, she is serious about her prison reform campaign. Meanwhile, Kanye is talking about running for president and saying other crazy s--t, and she’s just had enough of it."
