TMZ wrote, citing unidentified sources, that the separation was amicable and Kardashian had requested joint custody of the four children. The divorce was filed on Friday, “Variety” cited a judicial source.
The couple married in May 2014 and had four children: seven-year-old North, five-year-old Saint, two-year-old Chicago and 19-month-old Psalm. In recent years, the gossip press had repeatedly speculated about the crises in West and Kardashian’s marriage.
Living apart for months
More recently, NBC News reported earlier this year that West, 43, had lived in the US state of Wyoming for the past few months and that his 40-year-old wife and four children had stayed in California.
The couple received marriage therapy for months to try to save their relationship, according to the report. Marriage counseling deals with “relationship problems that occur regularly,” NBC News quoted a family member. Other media reported at the time that a divorce was imminent.
The rapper suffers from bipolar disorder
West claims to have bipolar disorder. In July of last year, he posted confusing messages on the online service Twitter that his wife and mother-in-law had tried to admit to psychiatry. He also suggested that Kardashian was having an affair with fellow rapper Meek Mill.
In a lengthy Instagram post, his wife asked the media and the public to show “sympathy” to West. Those who know him know “that his words do not always coincide with his intentions.” At the same time, Kardashian described the difficulties of dealing with a mentally ill person.
“Powerless family”
“Those familiar with mental illness or even compulsive behavior know that the family is powerless unless it is a minor,” Kardashian wrote. All the efforts of family and friends are in vain if the sick person does not seek help on his own.
People with bipolar disorder experience extreme mood swings. You experience both manic phases of euphoric mood and deep depression.
Kardashian is known for the reality series “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”, the filming of the last part was finished in January and has a large fan base on online networks. In addition to being a rapper and music producer, West is also successful as an entrepreneur and has been involved in the fashion industry for years. Most recently, he ran for the US presidential election, but only got just under 60,000 votes.
