She described, “It’s the hardest feeling to watch someone you really loved and have a family with just be so different than who you knew.” Kim further added that her eldest child, North West, who is nine years old, remains unaware of her father’s actions. Kim explained that she has taken measures to shield North from any knowledge of Kanye’s tumultuous behavior by implementing strict content filters in their household, allowing only access to Apple TV, as per Page Six.

 

Kim added, “I can’t risk an ‘Access Hollywood’ coming up next.” The relationship between Kim Kardashian and the renowned rapper, Kanye West, reached its lowest point during her involvement with her former boyfriend, Pete Davidson.

As Kim and Kanye went through the process of their divorce, Kanye resorted to social media tirades targeting not only Kim but also Davidson and Kris Jenner. He would quickly delete these posts from his Instagram account shortly after sharing them.
