‘Keeping Up With The Kardashian’s star, Kim Kardashian has shared details on how co-parenting is working with her ex-husband, Kanye West. On Monday, she appeared as a guest on the Angie Martinez IRL podcast, where the mother of four discussed Kanye and their kids.
“Co-parenting is really f—ing hard,” The SKIMS founder shared, as she was brought to tears. Kanye and Kim finalized their divorce in November, after Kanye’s on-and-off tantrum. Despite the issues she faces with her ex-husband, Kim continues to shield the children from what plays out on social media.
Kim Kardashian Moved To Tears Discusses Co-parenting With Ex, Kanye West:’ Really F—ing Hard’
“If they don’t know things that are being said, why would I ever bring that energy to them? That is real, heavy, grownup s— that they are not ready to deal with,” the mom of four said. “When they are, we will have those conversations.
One day, my kids will thank me for not sitting here and bashing their dad. I could.” “I definitely protected him,” she continued, “and I still will in the eyes of my kids. For my kids. So, in my home, my kids don’t know anything that goes on [in] the outside world,” noting that sometimes she misses being able to go to basic places such as CVS Pharmacy.
Kim continued “I am holding on by a thread. I know that I am so close to that not happening,” referring to the kids’ inevitable access to public information about her and Kanye, “but while it is still that way, I will protect that to the end of the Earth as long as I can.” In the divorce settlement, the SKIMS founder was awarded $200,000 a month in child support.
Kanye will also take responsibility for the kid’s medical, educational, and security expenses. Kanye and Kim waived any form of spousal support. The Hulu star said, “My kids don’t know anything. So, at school, some of my best friends are the teachers, so I know what goes on at recess and lunchtime. I hear what is being talked about.”
Kim goes on to admit that she just has to put on a happy face for the sake of her children. “If we are riding to school, and they want to listen to their dad’s music — no matter what we are going through — I have to have that smile on my face and blast his music and sing along with my kids. [I can] act like nothing is wrong and as soon as I drop them off, I can have a good cry.”
