Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have split up after their relationship became ‘downright toxic’

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have led separate lives amid reports that they are about to divorce.

And now it is claimed that the couple ‘had no choice’ but to stay apart in recent months, because things have become so ‘toxic’.

Kim and Kanye, who have been married for six years and have four children together, were recently hit by reports that a divorce is imminent after their marriage was plunged into a crisis last year.

“Kim and Kanye had no choice but to live apart in the end because the communication between them became so downright toxic,” a source told Us Weekly.

‘They entered the last part of 2020 with the best of intentions and wanted to find a way to get by if they spent time together. But it got to the point where the bickering turned into nasty blows and confrontations, and because none of the children wanted to expose the children to that kind of hostility, they [stayed] apart. ‘

Kanye lived on his $ 14 million in Wyoming while Kim stayed with the children in Calabasas, California.

The source added that Kanye would return to Calabasas regularly until early December to spend time as the children ‘try to have fun with Kim’.

The insider explained that the duo would be cordial around each other for the sake of the children, but their interaction was very matter-of-fact about what to do for dinner, their therapy sessions and the discussion of homeschooling for the children.

Last month, they had a ‘big fight’, the publication claims.

“Kanye blew up at Kim and she was really upset,” the source said. “Things don’t seem to have healed between them.”

This comes after a separate report on Thursday in which it is claimed that there is no bad blood between the duo.

‘They are very cordial’ with each other, has a source to E! News.

“He focuses on his world and she focuses on her world,” the informant said, adding that “Kim wants peace to enter this new chapter of her life and is focused on herself and her children.”

Kim and Kanye, who untied the knot in 2014, share four children; daughters North, seven, and Chicago, two, and sons Saint, five, and Psalm, one.

‘[Kim] wants to feel mentally and physically strong, ‘the source continues, referring to the KUWTK star’s rigorous 6-hour workout.

They also noted that Kardashian kept herself ‘very busy’ by immersing herself in her work, such as her popular form-fitting SKIMS and her thriving makeup range KKW Beauty.

“She was very busy with her business, which was a blessing. She really also focuses on the kids and their happiness. ‘

Kim also has the support of her sisters Kourtney (41) and Khloe (36), who ‘were’ already ‘volunteering’ to help the reality star encourage singles.

‘All the sisters are aware of the situation and are very supportive. “They all like Kanye like a brother, but agree that it is best for them to divorce,” said a source.

E! News earlier shared Kanye’s side of the coin, claiming that the 43-year-old hitmaker ‘loves his extended family’ and that he and the Kardashian-Jenner family are ‘super close’.

But a source close to the situation sketched a more pictorial image of people claiming ‘Kim and Kanye’s marriage is irreparable’ and that ‘Kim is over Kanye’s chaos’.

“At this point, she just wants to focus on the children and her own life,” the insider said, adding that Kim’s goal is to “create the best life for the children.”

“She and Kanye are just not on the same page when it comes to their future as a family.

“And Kim is doing well. “She will do everything she can for the children to have a good relationship with Kanye – she just does not want to be married to him,” they concluded.

The couple experienced a turbulent 2020 that includes the rap star’s failed candidate for the US presidency, which apparently drew a wedge between him and Kim.

During one campaign, Kanye tearfully revealed that Kim was considering aborting their firstborn daughter North – a revelation that left Kim ‘furious’, according to a People source.

Kanye also embarked on a series of Twitter tirades, accusing Kim of trying to commit to him and insinuating that she was unfaithful.

Amid the public outcry, Kim made a statement citing her husband’s bipolar disorder, pointing out “that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor.”

In August, the couple traveled to the Caribbean with their four children during a trip to save the marriage.

Although the couple put a united front on social media following the Caribbean summit, a source told Page Six earlier this month that ‘they are done’.

According to the informant, Kim used the services of Laura Wasser, the lawyer who also represented Angelina Jolie when she left Brad Pitt in 2016.

Laura also previously represented Kim in her divorce from her second husband Kris Humphries with whom she was notoriously married for only 72 days.
