Kim Kardashian Divorce: Kanye Reportedly Dumping His Wife On Their Second Wedding Anniversary, Setting Up Bitter Custody Battle
Kim Kardashian is reportedly headed toward divorce as reports claim that a fed-up Kanye West is planning to dump his wife on their second wedding anniversary.
The couple has been long plagued by divorce rumors, which actually started within weeks of their wedding. Various reports have claimed that the couple is being torn apart by jealousy, fighting, and Kanye West’s increasingly bizarre behavior and constant feuding with everyone from music critics to Kardashian family members.
But now a new report claims that Kim Kardashian is closer than ever to divorce and that papers may already be filed. InTouch magazine is claiming that the couple has been fighting non-stop, with Kanye West reportedly making cruel comments about Kim’s weight gain after having children.
“Kanye has had enough, and he is going to dump her on their second anniversary in May,” the source told InTouch magazine (via Hollywood Life). “Kim will be mortified; it will be the ultimate humiliation for her. There’s no turning back now. It’s ironic: they each went into this thinking they were going to get exactly what they wanted — and to an extent they did — but then it all backfired, big time. His decision to dump her is going to sting. Kim has been humiliated many times in the past, but nothing will top this. I don’t know if she will ever recover from it.”
The report claims that the couple is now headed toward a custody battle for their children, North and Saint.
As Celeb Dirty Laundry reports, the divorce for Kim and Kanye has been a long time coming.
“Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s divorce isn’t official, but it’s also no secret Kim and Kanye have been flirting with a split for over a year now. The birth of their son, Saint West, actually hurt their relationship rather than helped it. Now, according to the latest cover of In Touch Magazine, Kimye is officially over and the divorce papers have been written up.”
This is the second time in the last few weeks that InTouch has predicted the end for Kim and Kanye. In late February, the outlet reported that a fight during New York Fashion Week tore a rift between the couple, leading to Kim’s decision to divorce.
The report claimed that Kanye had an embarrassing meltdown at the swanky Waldorf Astoria hotel after a perceived slight.
The rapper screamed, a source told In Touch Weekly,“I am Kanye West and my wife is Kim f***ing Kardashian.”
The incident came just before Kanye went on a Twitter rampage against famed music producer Bob Ezrin, who wrote a critical review of Kanye’s new album, The Life of Pablo.
As InTouch noted, Ezrin compared Kanye unfavorably to rappers including Jay Z and Kendrick Lamar.
“It’s unlikely that we’ll be quoting too many of Kanye’s songs 20 years from now […] Instead, Kanye’s greatest achievements have been in the form of excessive behavior, egomaniacal tantrums and tasteless grandstanding.”
Kanye responded, “Has anybody ever heard of Bob Ezrin? What the f*** does he know about rap?”
The incidents reportedly left Kim mortified.
“[Kim’s] embarrassed to no end over his gargantuan ego and ridiculous tweets,” the source said. “By the end of Fashion Week, she just wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.”
Hollywood Life reported that the impending divorce could ultimately include the splitting of $1 billion worth of assets, and could be enough to sink the lucrative Kardashian reality television empire.
Other outlets noted, at the time, that Kim seemed open about her failing marriage.
“Making a statement? Kim Kardashian left her wedding ring at home this week while out and about in L.A., fueling rumors of a divorce from Kanye West after his bizarre antics in recent weeks,” Radar Online noted.
If Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are truly headed for divorce this time, the couple isn’t letting on much. She has recently shared a picture on Instagram bragging about the success of Kanye’s recent album, and has other photos that appear to show them as a happy couple.
