The 40-year-old has been living separately from Kanye, 43, as their relationship has become ‘downright toxic’ after months of therapy.

A source recently told Us Weekly of their divorce: ‘Kim and Kanye had no option but to live apart in the end because the communication between them had gotten so downright toxic.

‘They went into the latter part of 2020 with the very best of intentions and wanted to find a way to get along when they spent time together. 

‘But it reached the point where the bickering turned to nasty blowups and confrontations, and since neither of them wanted the kids exposed to that type of hostility, they [stayed] apart.’

Another insider told Us Weekly: ‘Kanye is jealous of the amount of time Kim has dedicated to prison reform and the kids. 

‘Kanye wanted the family to move to Wyoming full-time. It’s where he sees this direction of his life going. Kim just doesn’t see their lives full-time in Wyoming.’

They also said that although the couple has been working on their marriage in counseling, they ‘haven’t had a joint session together in a while.’ 

‘Kim has continued to meet with their marriage counselor in solo sessions. Kim’s singular focus is about how this will impact the kids, and Kanye has been receptive to engaging in those discussions.’
