Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have remained apart after their relationship became totally toxic

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West live separate lives amid reports that they are on the verge of divorce.

And now it is claimed that the couple ‘had no option’ but to live apart in the past few months because things got ‘completely toxic’.

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

“Kim and Kanye had no option but to live apart in the end, because the communication between them had become totally toxic,” a source told Us Weekly.

‘They went to the end of 2020 with the best of intentions and wanted to find a way to get along when they spent time together. But it got to the point where the fights turned into unpleasant explosions and confrontations, and since none of them wanted children to be exposed to this kind of hostility, they [stayed] separated. ‘

Kanye is staying at his $ 14 million ranch in Wyoming, while Kim is with the children in Calabasas, California.

The source added that Kanye would return to Calabasas regularly until early December to spend time with the children while “trying to be nice to Kim”.

The source explained that the pair would be cordial to each other for the sake of the children, but their interactions were very “prosaic” about what to do for dinner, their therapy sessions and discussion about home schooling for the children.

Then, last month, they had a ‘big fight’, says the publication.

“Kanye blew up with Kim and she was very upset,” said the source. – Things between them don’t seem to have healed since then.

It comes after a separate report on Thursday that claimed there was no feud between the pair.

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

“He is focusing on his world and she on her world,” said the source, adding that “Kim wants to feel at peace entering this new chapter of her life and is focused on herself and her children.”

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

‘[Kim] he wants to feel strong mentally and physically ”, continued the source, referring to the strict 6am training regime of the KUWTK star.

They also noted that Kardashian remained “very busy” immersing herself in her work, such as her popular modeling brand SKIMS and her thriving makeup line KKW Beauty.

‘She has been very busy with her business, which has been a blessing. She is really focusing on the children and their happiness. ‘

Kim also has the support of her sisters Kourtney, 41, and Khloe, 36, who ‘have volunteered’ to help the reality star face single motherhood.

‘All the sisters are aware of the situation and are very supportive. They all love Kanye as a brother, but agree that they better split up, ‘a source told the outlet.

AND! The news previously shared Kanye’s coin side, claiming that the 43-year-old hitmaker ‘loves his big family’ and that he and the Kardashian-Jenner clan are ‘super close’.

But a source close to the situation painted a more distant picture for People, stating that “Kim and Kanye’s marriage is beyond repair” and that “Kim overcame Kanye’s chaos”.

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

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

– And Kim agrees with that. She will do anything to make her children have a great relationship with Kanye – she just doesn’t want to marry him ‘, they concluded.

The couple had a tumultuous 2020 year, which included the failed rap star’s candidacy for the United States presidency, which seemed to create a barrier between him and Kim.

During a campaign rally, Kanye wept in tears that Kim considered aborting his eldest daughter North – a revelation that made Kim ‘furious’, according to a People source.

Kanye also embarked on a series of Twitter strips, accusing Kim of trying to compromise him and implying that she was unfaithful.

In the midst of the public crisis, Kim made a statement referring to her husband’s bipolar disorder and pointing out “that the family has no power unless the member is a minor”.

In August, the couple traveled to the Caribbean with their four children, in what was widely reported as a decisive trip to save the marriage.

Although the couple defended the union on social media after the Caribbean summit, a source told Page Six earlier this month that “they are over”.

The source claimed that Kim hired the services of Laura Wasser, the lawyer who also represented Angelina Jolie when she first left Brad Pitt in 2016.

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