Kim Kardashian shares Kanye West update: where they stand today?

Kim Kardashian is offering a clear look at where things stand with Kanye West following their highly publicized divorce. In a new interview, the reality star and entrepreneur shared how their dynamic has shifted and what remains constant: family.

Speaking with Complex on Feb. 5, Kardashian, 45, addressed everything from co-parenting to supporting West’s fashion ventures. Despite the ups and downs, she made one thing clear about their bond. “We’ll always be family,” she said when asked about promoting West’s Yeezy boots in a January TikTok. “We both know that. We will be okay, and there’s so much love for our family. We want what’s best for our kids.”

From Marriage to Moving Forward

Kardashian and West first connected in 2012. They married in 2014 and went on to welcome four children: North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 6. Kardashian filed for divorce in 2021, and the split was finalized in 2022.

Since then, the former couple has navigated co-parenting under intense public scrutiny. While their romantic relationship ended, Kardashian’s latest comments suggest an effort to maintain stability for their children.

Her January TikTok, filmed during an Aspen trip, sparked headlines when she praised a pair of Yeezy boots. As she walked viewers through her outfit, she said, “I will say, there’s nothing like a Yeezy heel. I don’t know if they ever made these or just made them for me. I love when a shoe is tonal to the pant.”

She later explained her reasoning to Complex: “I couldn’t deny the Yeezy heel, so I had to shout it out.”

Stress, Health Scares, and Protecting Her Children

While Kardashian projects calm publicly, she has been open about the emotional toll of the divorce and West’s behavior. On an October 2025 episode of The Kardashians, she admitted, “I was pretty tested, I will say. Very tested. I mean, I have psoriasis again. I felt it. I mean, I felt more stressed, probably just because I had to super, super protect what I had to protect. My kids are involved now.”

Her focus, she emphasized, is shielding her children from public fallout. “Everyone around can handle it, but like…protect my babies,” she said. “They’re gonna know things. They’re gonna grow up. They’re gonna see. So my job as a mom is to just make sure that at a time when that behavior is happening, is just to make sure that they are protected.”

In a September episode of The Kardashians, Kardashian revealed she had been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. Doctors told her that stress may have contributed to the condition. Shortly after discussing the health scare, she reflected emotionally on her divorce.  “I’m happy it’s over,” she said. “My ex will be in my life no matter what. We have four kids together,” she said.

Frustrations Behind the Scenes

In a November episode of The Kardashians, Kardashian shared more about the challenges of co-parenting amid controversy. Despite West’s public claims that he was calling their children, she said he “never once called.”

“I mean, I always encourage a relationship, but a healthy one,” she said. She added that it is “frustrating that my character as a mom” comes into question because of his erratic behavior. “Sometimes I just feel like snapping, but I can’t. I just can’t.”

In a confessional, Kardashian summed up her priority: “My only focus and job is really just to be strong for my kids.”

Kanye West’s Public Apology

In January, West issued a public apology for his past antisemitic remarks and erratic behavior in a full-page advertisement titled “To Those I’ve Hurt” in The Wall Street Journal, paid for by his Yeezy brand. In the letter, he attributed his behavior to bipolar disorder and expressed remorse.

Kardashian has not publicly responded to the apology in detail. However, her recent remarks suggest a desire to move forward with clarity and boundaries.

The marriage may have ended, but the family remains. In the middle of fame, controversy, and personal health challenges, Kardashian appears focused on long-term stability for her children and maintaining a functional co-parenting relationship.

For now, she is choosing peace where possible, accountability where necessary, and unwavering protection of her four kids.
