Kim Kardashian Reflects on Her Marriage
Kim Kardashian has shared new details about her marriage to rapper Kanye West, describing the emotional challenges she faced during their relationship.
In her authorised biography, Citizen Kim, Kardashian reflects on how she often pushed painful experiences aside instead of fully processing them.
She also explains that she wanted to protect West during his reported mental health struggles. However, she eventually realised that her own well-being mattered too.
How She Protected Their Four Children
Kardashian says she took steps to shield the couple’s four children from negative headlines and public discussions about their father.
When media attention intensified, she introduced a household “lockdown” routine. The family avoided television, radio and news updates to keep the children away from upsetting stories.
She described this approach as a way to give her children a sense of normality during difficult periods.
Kardashian also reflected on the challenge of supporting West while deciding when their children should remain close to him and when she needed to protect them from the situation.
Kardashian Still Wants West to Succeed
Despite their divorce, Kardashian says she still wants West to do well. She expressed hope that he would find success and present his best self to the world.
The couple married in 2014 and share four children. Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021, ending their marriage after years of public and private challenges.
Her latest reflections offer a glimpse into the personal pressures behind their highly publicised relationship.
Kardashian’s account highlights the difficult balance between supporting a loved one and protecting personal well-being. She says her children’s privacy and safety remain central to how she handles family challenges.
