Kanye West is going through an “especially difficult” moment with Kim Kardashian’s decision to solidify his divorce on Friday.
The 43-year-old rapper has been incredibly ‘distant’ and ‘indifferent’ amid the end of his marriage to the Keep Up With The Kardashians star.
A source told Us Weekly that although he ‘knew he was coming’, the reality of the situation was weighing on him, as Kim was always his ‘dream girl’.

Difficult time: Kanye West is reportedly accepting Kim Kardashian’s divorce ‘especially difficult’ and is ‘distant’ and ‘indifferent’ after his decision to file the lawsuit on Friday
Trying to keep himself busy, the Runaway singer has been ‘trying to get to work for the past few weeks’ as a distraction.
‘Kim has always been Kanye’s dream girl – even before they were together – so the idea that she is no longer his wife is too much to accept’ and, ultimately, he’s not sure ‘if it’s the best decision for the family or not, ‘said the source.
Although they officially became a couple in 2012, Kanye had spoken openly about his admiration for the beauty of reality.
The rapper said in a 2013 Hot 97 radio interview, ‘I loved you from the first day I saw you.’
He continued: ‘Our love story is a love story forever. I felt that when we were together, it was kind of like Romeo and Juliet, where it’s like, she’s a reality star and I’m a rapper. ‘

In an interview with Kris Jenner in 2013 (during the time she gave a talk show), he said to his future mother-in-law: ‘Sometimes I wasn’t with [Kim], I wanted to be with her so badly that I thought about playing sports. ‘
Kanye was referring to all of Kim’s ex-boyfriends as athletes.
The couple started dating and she got pregnant from North. Four months after she was born, he did everything he could to make an epic proposal by placing a 13-carat diamond ring on his finger.
They continued to marry in 2014 and officially started their lives as ‘Kim-Ye’, getting as close to royalty as America could get. Four years after getting married, things started to get worse.
Although it has only been reported in the past few months that the two have lived separate lives because of a ‘totally toxic’ environment at home, Kim would have passed the point of no return for nearly three years.

A source told Us Weekly, the ‘turning point’ at the wedding was when he said in 2018 that ‘slavery was a choice’ for TMZ.
The statement caused an almost insurmountable ‘difficult phase’ (despite the explosion being linked to his heavy mental state and bipolar disorder), as Kim was ‘mortified’ by his comments.
Although they managed to rebuild after that, his tendency to outrageous outbursts continued to cause tension in the marriage, and peaked during the summer, when he made comments about Kim and his eldest daughter North.
‘I almost killed my daughter … So even though my wife divorced me after this speech, she brought the North into the world, even when I didn’t want to,’ he said in a speech during the bidding for president as part of the birthday party.
After that, he went to Twitter in an infamous explosion, where he proclaimed that Kim tried to ‘halt [him] with a doctor ‘, before implying that she had been unfaithful.

About that: the ‘breaking point’ came in July, when he talked about his personal problems and then broadcast them on Twitter, where he talked about Kim trying to ‘arrest him’ and insinuating that she had been unfaithful
He continued, ‘I’ve been trying to get a divorce since Kim met Meek at the Waldorf for’ prison reform ‘.
That was his ‘breaking point’ in the marriage, according to a source. – She was able to ignore things he said to shock the past, but she was lost as soon as he brought their children.
‘From there, they were never able to return to where they were.’ In July, she met divorce attorney Laura Wasser for the first time. In the fall, they weren’t “in touch” and, despite one last grand gesture of giving five Maybachs over Christmas, things were basically over.
In 2021, she started taking off her wedding ring and was focusing on the ‘future’. Then it was reported that divorce was ‘imminent’ for the couple and that they lived apart. Shortly afterwards, he was seen removing belongings from his shared home.
Now, with the divorce papers delivered (although no separation date has been listed), she is seeking joint legal and physical custody of her four children and they are in the process of dividing all of their assets fairly, both having signed prenuptial agreements.
