Kanye West issued an apology to his wife Kim Kardashian on Twitter on Saturday, the same social media platform where he announced his plans to divorce her a few days earlier.
“I would like to apologize to my wife Kim for publicizing something that was a private matter. I did not cover her as she has covered me.” [sic] Kim, I mean I know I hurt you. Please forgive me. Thank you for always being there for me, “wrote West, 43.
Although West did not specify what “private matter” he was referring to, it is likely related to his admission during a campaign rally in South Carolina last weekend that the couple considered abortion when they were expecting their first child, their daughter. North, 7 years old.

“Even if my wife wants to divorce me after this speech, she brought North into the world even when I didn’t want to,” West told a crowd as he cried. “She stood up and protected that child. Do you know who else protected a child? Forty-three years ago, who do you think protected a child?”
Reports earlier in the week indicated that Kardashian, 39, was “furious” at the abortion claims.
He then claimed in a now-deleted tweet that he has been “trying” to divorce Kardashian, 39, since attending a prison reform event that was also attended by rapper Meek Mill.
The Yeezy founder also subtly shadowed the reality star’s past photoshoot with Playboy, claiming that her mother-in-law Kris Jenner was no longer allowed to see the couple’s four children.
