Kim Kardashian-West and Kanye West seem like a familiar celebrity couple that’s been in the public eye since they got married in 2014. But then, they suddenly hit 9 years of marriage and announced their plans to divorce on April 10, 2022. What caused that? Hear the family’s perspective through photos!
How Did the Relationship Start?
The two began dating in April 2012, and their relationship seemed to move quickly. Kim had just ended her 72-day marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries, and Kanye was fresh off his divorce from model Alekandra Cheban. The couple was first spotted together publicly at a Mets game, and they soon confirmed their relationship with a series of cuddly photos. Just eight months after they started dating, Kim and Kanye got engaged. The proposal was a grand affair, with Kanye renting out San Francisco’s AT&T Park so he could propose in front of friends and family. They were married the following May in a lavish ceremony in Florence, Italy. From the beginning, it was clear that Kim and Kanye were crazy about each other.
They gushed about each other in interviews and spent nearly every waking moment together. In 2013, Kim told Harper’s Bazaar Arabia that she knew Kanye was “the one” from the very first time they met. However, all relationships have their ups and downs, and Kim and Kanye’s was no different. Over the years, there have been reports of arguments and disagreements between the two – usually over something minor like what to watch on TV or where to go for dinner. However, these disputes were always resolved quickly, and it seemed like nothing could come between Kim and Kanye.
Marriage and Kids
Kim Kardashian-West and Kanye West are ending their marriage after six years, multiple sources have confirmed to PEOPLE. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, 40, and the rapper, 43, were married in a private ceremony at Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy, on May 24, 2014. They have four children together: North, 7½, Saint, 5½, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 1. “It’s gotten to the point where they haven’t spent time together as a married couple in months,” a source said. “They’ve seen each other for the sake of the kids but it’s been strained.
Kim is busy with work and projects and Kanye is off doing Yeezy stuff.” “They both decided it would be best for the kids if they kept up appearances for now but are living separate lives,” the source continued. “Kim is ok. She is really strong and has her mom [Kris Jenner] around for support.” Another source confirmed that “divorce is imminent” for the pair and said that “there is no longer any hope” for their marriage.
Secret Wedding Ring
Kim Kardashian-West and Kanye West’s marriage was one of the most publicised partnerships in recent years. From their over-the-top wedding to the birth of their three children, every detail of their relationship was played out in the media. However, it seems that not even a fairytale romance can withstand the pressures of fame. The couple has reportedly been living separate lives for months, and sources close to them say that they are only staying together for the sake of their children. Now, it has been claimed that Kim has been hiding a secret wedding ring from Kanye – an engagement ring from her first husband, Damon Thomas. According to reports, Kim wears the ring on a necklace hidden beneath her clothes.
A source close to the couple says that she does this to avoid any confrontations with her current husband. The source claims that Kanye is well aware of the existence of the ring, but pretends not to know about it. It is unclear whether he is aware of its significance or not. The news of Kim’s secret ring comes as no surprise to those who have followed the couple’s tumultuous relationship over the years. Rumours of infidelity and domestic abuse have plagued their marriage, and it seems that they may finally be at breaking point.
The End of Their Marriage
In the early hours of October 2, 2019, it was announced that Kim Kardashian-West and Kanye West were divorcing after six years of marriage. The news came as a shock to many, especially since the couple had just welcomed their fourth child, a son named Psalm, only five months prior. The end of their marriage was a long time coming, though. In the months leading up to the divorce announcement, there were rumors that the two were living separate lives and that their relationship was on the rocks. And while they never confirmed any of these rumors publicly, it’s now clear that there was truth to them. So what exactly led to the end of Kim and Kanye’s marriage? Here’s everything we know:
1. The couple had been growing apart for months before the split. Kim and Kanye had been married for six years when they decided to divorce, but it seems like their relationship had been strained for much longer than that. In recent years, the two have been spending less and less time together as Kanye pursued his music career and Kim focused on her reality TV show and business ventures. This past year in particular was a tough one for their marriage. In May, Kanye released his album Ye, which included some disturbing lyrics about killing Kim if she ever left him. He later said that he was just expressing his art and wasn’t actually considering harming his wife, but the damage was already done.
How Did They Admit The Breakup?
It’s no secret that Kim Kardashian-West and Kanye West are heading for divorce. The couple has been spotted out and about without their wedding rings, and sources close to the couple say that they have been living apart for months. But how did they actually admit the breakup? According to sources, Kim and Kanye sat down with their lawyers earlier this year and came to the decision that it was time to end their marriage. However, they didn’t want to just announce the split out of nowhere – they wanted to do it in a way that would be respectful of their children and family. So, they decided to sit down for an interview with Vanity Fair magazine, where they opened up about the reasons behind their decision to divorce.
In the interview, Kim said that she felt like she had been “living in a shell” during her marriage, and that she needed to make a change for herself and her kids. Kanye also spoke about his struggle with mental health, saying that he had been dealing with a lot of “inner demons” over the past few years. He said that he was hopeful that divorce would help him get better mentally and emotionally. Throughout the interview, both Kim and Kanye seemed sad but relieved at the same time. They both expressed hope that they would be able to co-parent amicably for their children’s sake. And so far, it seems like they’re doing just that – despite their split, the two were recently seen taking
