Kim Kardashian reportedly split from her husband Kanye West after her mum Kris Jenner told her the marriage is over.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, who is giving $500,000 to her fans who have struggled during the pandemic, is said to have been living secretly apart from the rapper for nearly six months already and has hired top lawyer Laura Wasser to "quietly" navigate the divorce settlement.

An insider explained that Kris, 65, told her daughter to "put herself first," before adding: "Kim and Kanye have been living separate lives since at least May. Kim has been meeting with her divorce lawyer in secret for months.

"And over the holidays, Kris told Kim the situation could not drag on any longer, so Kim has officially moved to end things. Kris thinks Kanye is out of control and, ‘bad for the family brand’. She can’t bear seeing how unhappy Kim is.”

It’s understood Kim hasn’t been wearing her wedding ring while Kanye, who recently vowed to run for president in the 2024 election, spent Christmas at his Wyoming ranch instead of celebrating the holidays with the Kardashian family.

The insider added: “Kim got Kanye to go up there [Wyoming] so they could live separate lives and quietly get things sorted out to separate and divorce. She’s done.”

Kim is said to have done as much as she can to protect Kanye, but she is said to have “had enough” of the pair being on separate paths.
