In the new book "Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future," Kim Kardashian speaks frankly about worrying about her ex-husband Kanye West "all day, every day." "He is the father of my children, I will never stop worrying about him. And it is a big burden to have children with a person you don't always get along with," Page Six quotes the 46-year-old businesswoman as saying.
Kardashian and West's divorce was officially finalized in 2022 year, but co-parenting their four children — North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm — remains a constant point of tension. Kardashian emphasizes that the children should know nothing about their parents' conflicts, and she is ready to "sweep under the rug" all of her ex-husband's negative statements, if only so that they see him as a "great father."
According to Kardashian, communication with West is kept to a minimum: they hardly talk, but they hug when they meet. She maintains a close relationship with his family and follows an "open door" policy — she invites her ex-husband to the house for dinner and even offered to spend Christmas together with his new wife, Bianca Censori. Contacts often go through West's wife or his manager.
When the children ask where their father is, Kardashian often answers "dad is on a trip." She admits that her therapist advises her to strengthen her boundaries, but for now she manages to maintain a relatively calm coexistence. "Everything has been fairly smooth for a while now, because we don't communicate much," she notes.
The admission has emerged precisely now, as Kardashian's official biography is being released. This is not an accidental leak but a controlled narrative: the star herself decides which part of her private life to show the public in order to preserve the image of a strong mother and a successful woman. At the same time, constant worry about West, whose mental health remains a topic of discussion, places an additional weight on her that she cannot shed.
For Kardashian, this is not just a divorce and not just raising children. It is daily work to protect their perception of reality in a world where every step their parents take becomes public. She continues to carry this burden because the alternative — allowing the children to see the cracks — is unacceptable to her.
