Divorce and Co-Parenting Dynamics with Kanye “Ye” West
Kim Kardashian recently shared details about her current relationship with ex-husband Kanye “Ye” West, three years after their high-profile divorce. In an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kim discussed how she handles co-parenting with her children North West, Saint West, Chicago West, and Psalm West.
“I raise the kids full time,” Kim explained to Alex Cooper. “They live with me and I welcome a great healthy relationship with my kids and their dad. He knows that.
I push for it all the time, but I also protect them when it’s time for that and it goes in waves and phases.” She further elaborated on how she tries to maintain a balance between keeping her children happy and ensuring their father can see them: “Every time he has asked, I will always let them see their father. That’s just who I am.”
Infrequent Visits from Kanye West
Despite Kim’s dedication to maintaining the children’s relationship with their father, she revealed that it has been a while since they’ve spoken or seen him in person. “It’s probably been a couple months since we’ve heard from him,” she added.
Kim explained her approach to managing these infrequent visits: “They always knew that he had a big life traveling before and was always on tour and all of that. He lives in different countries all the time and loves to live all over the place. So, we manage it really well.” This management involves explaining to the children why their father might be unavailable or distant, ensuring they understand his lifestyle.
Addressing Public Perceptions
Kim addressed the public narrative that she keeps her kids away from Kanye: “I’ve never once done that. There’s been so many times where I’m just like, ‘Ah I want to show all these texts, what are you talking about?’ I beg them to go hang out or things like that.” She noted the frustration this can cause, especially when public figures misrepresent her actions: “When he is like that, he doesn’t want to see the kids a lot. So it’s always worked out.”
Kim also emphasized that she focuses on what is best for her children’s happiness and routine. “They love their lives and their routine and schedule,” she said. “My job as their mom is just to make sure they stick to their routine and that they’re healthy and happy.” This commitment underscores the importance of stability in her parenting approach.
Future Prospects for Co-Parenting
While acknowledging the challenges, Kim remains optimistic about the future: “My mom would always say, ‘You’ve got to give it five years of being divorced before it all really comes together and everyone can coexist and be friends.'” She added that despite the difficulties, she welcomes healthy relationships. “It’s not easy,” she concluded.
The ongoing relationship between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West serves as a case study in post-divorce co-parenting, highlighting both the complexities and potential for positive outcomes. As the situation continues to evolve, fans and observers will be watching closely to see how this dynamic unfolds over time.
