HU Exclusive: Kanye West Directs Lawyers To Expedite Dissolution Of Marriage To Kim Kardashian-West
For the last few weeks, we’ve seen Kanye West and Kim Kardashian-West’s divorce play out online. There have been court filings with the reality star requesting to be declared single with reports claiming Kanye’s been objecting to it. Earlier today, TMZ even reported that their upcoming court appearance on Wednesday will be a “showdown.” However, despite how intense things may seem, direct sources to the self-made billionaire say it won’t be that at all!
In fact, YE, who shares four children with Kim: daughter North, 8, son Saint, 6, daughter Chicago, 4, and son Psalm, 2½ — released a statement to us sharing his plans for tomorrow. Kanye said: “I’ve asked my team to expedite the dissolution of my marriage to Kim so I can put my entire attention into our beautiful children” — YE.
The change of tune comes just days after Kim, 41, filed new court docs claiming that his Instagram posts where he detailed some of their marriage problems, were hurting her emotionally, and all she wants is to move on and co-parent in a healthy manner. Although Kanye reportedly filed legal docs hitting back at her claims and insisted that he’s not going to end his marriage without a fight, it appears that he’s ultimately taking the high road for the sake of their children.
Earlier this year, Kanye shared how he’s focusing on fatherhood amid his divorce from Kim: “My solace comes from seeing my kids and getting a solid schedule,” the rapper, 44, told Jason Lee on January 24, explaining that it was one of the reasons he decided to move across the street from Kardashian’s Hidden Hills mansion in California. “That’s why I even got the house. … Nothing with my career, with this rap, with this media, with none of that [is] gonna keep me from my children.”
Aside from this, Kim and Kanye who had been married for nearly 7 years before she filed for divorce in February 2021, have both appeared to move on. The reality star has been linked to SNL star Pete Davidson for a few months while Ye has begun dating model Chaney Jones following his split from “Uncut Gems” star Julia Fox.
