Kim Kardashian reveals REAL reason for Kanye West divorce
Things have turned sour in recent weeks
Believe it or not it's been a year since news landed that Kim Kardashian had filed for a divorce from her husband Kanye West, after the pair welcomed four children into the world together.
Although the pair still co-parent North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm, things have taken a bit of a sour turn in recent weeks, as both Kim and Kanye now find themselves in new relationships, with Pete Davidson and Julia Fox respectively.
As the drama continues between the two, Kim has now candidly opened up about her divorce from Kanye, during an interview with Vogue.
Speaking to the publication, Kim said: “For so long, I did what made other people happy. And I think in the last two years I decided, I’m going to make myself happy. And that feels really good.
"And even if that created changes and caused my divorce, I think it’s important to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy. I’ve chosen myself. I think it’s okay to choose you. My 40s are about being Team Me.
"I’m going to eat well. I’m going to work out. I’m going to have more fun, spend more time with my kids and the people who make me happy. I’m going to put my phone down. Unfollow if I don’t want to see something on Instagram. Khloé came up with the best phrase for that yesterday. She said, ‘Post and ghost.’”
The 41-year-old also opened up about her thoughts on co-parenting her four children with 'Gold Digger' rapper Kanye, now known as Ye.
She said: “You could be so hurt or angry at your ex, but I think in front of the kids, it always has to be ‘Your dad’s the best.’
"Make sure you are your co-parent’s biggest cheerleader, no matter what you’re personally going through.”
