The sources confirmed that West has been living at their home in Wyoming for the past few months, while his wife stayed in California with her children.
“They have been living apart for the past few months,” a friend of Kardashian West told CNN, but asked to remain anonymous because of the delicacy of the situation. “They were in marriage counseling and discussed the divorce, it’s on the table.”
“Divorce is something that has been discussed again and again in the past year, but Kim did not want to go any further,” said the second source. “There is no drama or contentious relationship,” added the individual, they are “friendly” and “fully aligned when it comes to children”.
CNN contacted representatives of the couple for comment.
The two stars, who were married in a luxurious wedding in Italy in 2014, have four children.
They met in early 2000, but it would be years before they became romantically involved.
“That was before you released your first album and was known as a music producer. I was very shy. You thought I was [singer] Brandy’s assistant, which I was not, “recalled Kardashian West.” Ever since you said that, it’s been everywhere … like “Kim is Brandy’s assistant”. I was your friend and stylist. [laughs]. I found you attractive, cool, very charming, very funny, powerful – I was amazed at you, but you were too shy, quiet and a little nervous, to be honest. ”
But both would have high-level relationships before they went public with their love in 2012.
After their wedding in Florence, Italy, they received their son, Santo, in 2015, followed by their daughter, Chicago, in 2018 and their son, Psalm, in 2019.

“Do you have that moment [where] you feel like everyone wants to kill you. You hardly trust anyone, “West told David Letterman in 2019, as part of Letterman’s Netflix series,” My next guest needs no introduction. ”
“When you’re in that state, you’re hyperparanoid about everything, everybody,” explained West. “This is my experience. Other people have different experiences. Everyone is now an actor. Everything is a conspiracy. You feel like the government is putting chips in your head. You feel like it’s being recorded. You feel all these things.” , he said .
