The former power couple had been married for more than six years, tying the knot on May 24, 2014 — after they first began dating in April 2012 — before Kim filed for divorce from the “Stronger” rapper in February 2021, citing “irreconcilable differences.” .”

Kim and Kanye sparked divorce rumors during the summer of 2020, which was a contentious one for the former couple. At the time, Kanye mentioned divorcing Kim in a slew of tweets, and Kim later responded by revealing that her husband was dealing with his bipolar disorder. Unfortunately, tensions between Kim and Kanye only rose when the rapper held a “presidential” rally on July 19, 2020 in South Carolina. In a campaign speech, Kanye claimed the couple discussed aborting their first child, daughter North.

She and Kayne then later spent the holidays apart.
Despite the previous drama, Kim and Kanye appeared to have a friendly post-marriage bond at first. They continued to co-parent their children, and the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star even brought the four kids to the listening party for Kanye’s new album, Donda, at the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia on the night of July 22. A month later, the exes stepped out for a lunch date together without their kids in Malibu. During that time period, Kanye was romantically linked to model Irina Shayk, although they reportedly split in Aug. 2021.
The friendliness seemed to change around the beginning of 2022, a few months after Kim started dating Pete Davidson. Kanye, who briefly dated Julia Fox around the same time, started posting his feelings about the way Kim was raising their kids, including his disapproval of their daughter North making videos on TikTok, and how he wanted to bring their family back together. He took to Instagram to also call out Pete by encouraging people who see him on the streets to shout out “Kimye” before sharing some of his own text messages with Kim, calling her his “favorite person in the world.”
