In recent weeks, rumors have surfaced that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are on the verge of divorce.

Page six was the first to break the reports, claiming that the couple, who married in 2014 and have four children, decided to go their separate ways after spending much of the last year apart.
“This divorce is happening because Kim has grown so much,” a source told the outlet. “She is serious about taking the order exam and becoming a lawyer, she is serious about her campaign for prison reform. Meanwhile, Kanye is talking about running for president and saying other crazy shit, and she is fed up with it. . “
TMZ continued, claiming that Kim and Kanye had been in marriage counseling for several months in an attempt to resolve their problems, before E! The news confirmed that their marriage was over and an announcement was imminent.
“It got to the point where they haven’t spent time together as a couple in months,” said a source. “They’ve seen each other because of their children, but they live apart. Kim knows the marriage is over. She has known each other for a while.”
However, since then, Kim and Kanye have remained silent about the reports and no official confirmation of their divorce has arrived. In fact, Kim created more confusion by posing for photos with and without the wedding ring.
The day before the divorce news was released, Kim uploaded a photo to Instagram to promote Skims, and her wedding ring – which she always wears – was nowhere to be seen. People immediately began to speculate that his removal was a sign from Kim that the reports were true. However, a day later, Kim left Los Angeles with her wedding ring firmly on, before completely deleting the image from her Instagram.
At the time, I theorized that Kim deleted the photo and said nothing about the divorce rumors because she planned to address the issue in the next 20th and final season of Following the Kardashians, which is scheduled to air in the coming months.
After all, for 14 years the family followed the same tradition of promoting media gossip in the period leading up to the premiere of each season, before leaving the big reveal for the show. And the 20th season will be the last chance to maximize the drama before KUWTK ends.
And it looks like the theory may be accurate, with Page Six now reporting that Kim and Kanye’s marital problems will be a key storyline in the series’ final season.
Apparently, the disintegration of Kimye’s marriage “will appear strongly in the final plot”, with the family leaving after 14 years on the screen.
“The Kardashians intend to go out forcefully,” said a source. “They filmed Kim discussing their marital problems. But everyone involved is in a confidentiality agreement, because the final film will not be shown until the end of 2021.”
And a new interview with KUWTK’s executive producer Ryan Seacrest appeared to give credence to reports that the Kardashians want to “hang out” after he confirmed that this will be his latest take on the reality show.
After the Kardashians signed a new content contract with Hulu at the end of last year, many fans of KUWTK they were hopeful that it would mean the family was ready to create a new reality show on the platform.
However, those hopes were dashed when, on the last day of KUWTK filming, Kim told fans that the family had finished filming their lives “forever”.
“I think they have a lot of ideas and [will do] many things that they may not have had a chance to do with Following the Kardashians, because it was such a strong franchise and people wanted what they saw from the family, “Ryan told People.” And that is what they have achieved for 20 seasons. “
“I have a feeling they have a lot of ideas,” he added. “My guess is that they want to evolve a little bit from the show that everyone has seen and do something different.”
“I’m sure it will pique people’s interest, but I think it remains to be seen what exactly they will do,” he concluded.
Well, considering that the family ended most of the filming two weeks ago, let’s hope it won’t be long before the first teaser trailer for season 20 is released and we finally have all the details on Kimye’s wedding status.
