He struck her as a creative genius. He wanted to “dip her a$$ in gold.” But now it’s all over.

Kardashian West’s spokesperson Christy Welder confirms to USA TODAY that the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star, 40, has filed for divorce from the “Jesus is King” singer, 43, after nearly seven years of marriage.

The divorce puts an end to one of the most closely watched celebrity marriages of the twenty-first century: the marriage of a reality TV star and a hip-hop and fashion sensation with four children, a large wealth to divide, and much more fame.

Kim Kardashian was the one to officially submit the papers only a few days ago, and the divorce procedures are already started, just a few weeks before the last season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians airs. However, if you were anticipating the former couple’s marriage to finish with a boom or a blowout, the truth seems to be very different.

Kardashian West, according to TMZ, is seeking shared legal and physical custody of the couple’s four children: daughter North, 7, son Saint, 5, daughter Chicago, 3, and son Psalm, who turns two in May.

In addition, according to her petition, the couple has a prenuptial agreement that will govern how their assets will be split. It cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for their divorce but does not provide a date of separation.

Anyone who has been following the public couple may be acquainted with the pair’s problems prior to their divorce. Kanye West reportedly disliked participating on Keeping Up With the Kardashians because it focused on their marital problems. Kardashian, for her part, was allegedly concerned about Kanye West’s health in recent months as he battled with his bipolar disorder problems, which surfaced in 2020 in a number of public ways, including a failed campaign for president in the previous months, and more.

Kanye was working on a song with Brandy when her buddy Kim stopped over – this was back when she was all about smokey eyes, nude lip gloss, flat irons, and less ass. Kim, on the other hand, was married to producer Damon Thomas, so she and Kanye remained in the friendzone. But, as he subsequently revealed in an interview with Ryan Seacrest, the attraction grew over time. He was essentially in love by 2006. When he saw photos of Kim on vacation with Paris Hilton, he would question his pals, “What’s up with Kim Kar-dijon?” or “Kim Kardi-shawn?” “I just dreamed about being next to her,” Kanye told Kris Jenner, his future mother-in-law, on an episode of Kris, her talk program. He confessed in the episode that he used Photoshop to put himself into the Kardashian-Jenner Khristmas cards and then sent the pictures to Kim.

Kardashian West and West married in an extravagant Italian wedding in May 2014, after they got engaged on Kardashian’s 33rd birthday in October 2013. Both incidents were documented on the long-running reality show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”

The beginning of the end of the marriage follows the September news that the program that established her family’s fame, “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” will cease after 14 years in 2021.

It was West’s first marriage at the age of 43, and Kardashian’s third at the age of 40. While the marriage was short-lived, it outlasted many cynics who predicted disaster due to the two big personalities, West’s well-known unpredictability, and Kardashian’s previous marriage, to former NBA player Kris Humphries, which was short.

Kim and Kanye attempted counseling. It was ineffective. The divorce seems to have been a gradual burn rather than a blazing, catastrophic split.
