In a recent interview, Kim Kardashian, 46, opened up about the challenges of co-parenting with her ex-husband Kanye West. Kardashian, who shares four children with West, revealed that she constantly worries about her ex-husband's well-being. She expressed her concerns about co-parenting with someone who can be unpredictable. Despite their differences, Kardashian emphasized that she wants her children to maintain a good relationship with their father.
Kardashian and West, who married in 2014 and divorced in 2022, have four children together: North, 13, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 7. Although they have had their share of disagreements, Kardashian noted that co-parenting has been going well, especially since they don't communicate much. However, when they do interact, they make an effort to be civil. Kardashian stressed that she tries to put her children's needs first and sets boundaries in her relationship with West.
The reality TV star revealed that she wants her children to see their father as a positive influence in their lives. She expressed her desire for her children to love and respect their father, despite their parents' divorce. Kardashian also mentioned that she maintains a good relationship with West's family and wants to ensure that her children have a strong bond with their father.
Kardashian shared that she gives West the freedom to spend time with their children at their home, as long as he is in the area. She allows him to take them out or have them over for activities. The mother of four emphasized that West is an important part of their children's lives, and she wants to facilitate their relationship.
In a heartwarming gesture, Kardashian revealed that she invited West to spend Christmas with her and their children last year. She extended an invitation to his current partner, Bianca Censori, as well. Kardashian expressed her willingness to put aside their differences for the sake of their children. She plans to invite West to spend Christmas with them again this year.
Despite her efforts to maintain a positive co-parenting relationship, Kardashian admitted that she is concerned about West's well-being. She expressed her worries about his mental health and the challenges he faces. Kardashian hopes that West will overcome his struggles and find stability for the sake of their children.
When needed, Kardashian communicates with West through his partner, Bianca Censori, or his manager. In January 2026, West publicly apologized for his anti-Semitic remarks and acknowledged his bipolar disorder diagnosis. Meanwhile, in October 2026, Kardashian revealed that she has a team of five people who help her care for her children.
