Kim Kardashian made rare comments about her difficult, and very public, divorce from Kanye West, surfacing a week after the rapper’s latest antisemitic outburst.
The 44-year-old reality star opens up about the demise of the marriage, which lasted from 2014 until 2021, in the February 13 episode of The Kardashians.
Kardashian shared that “the hardest part” of a devolving relationship is “when you don’t foresee something happening that really changes a person’s personality and then they’re not the same person and you can’t ever get that person back, but you can’t live with the new person.”
The Skims founder, who shares four children with the rapper now legally known as Ye, filed for divorce in early 2021. Their divorce was finalized in late 2022. He promptly married Yeezy architectural designer (and Kardashian lookalike) Bianca Censori in January 2023.
“It’s tougher when you don’t want your marriage to end off of personal reasons but circumstances that force your marriage to end,” Kardashian said in a confessional. “When you weren’t planning on that and that’s not really the outcome you want but there’s no other option, I think it makes it harder to get over.”

The episode comes on the heels of 47-year-old Ye’s latest antisemitic screed, which began the evening of February 6 and lasted into the late morning hours of February 7. In the rant, Ye declared himself a Nazi, and praised Hitler as well as referring to himself as “Yaydolf Yitler.”
He also used homophobic slurs, dubbed slavery “a choice.” He has also been sued by a Jewish employee for allegedly bullying Jewish staffers.
At the time Kardashian and Ye’s relationship was falling apart, he was losing favor after repeated antisemitic and racist rants. Many attributed the volatility with Ye’s struggle with bipolar disorder, though last week, between the Grammys stunt and X outburst, he told The Download podcast that he has been rediagnosed with autism, not bipolar disorder.
This week, Ye doubled down on his bigotry by selling swastika T-shirts on a now-defunct Shopify website.
