Reality TV star puts her children first as she opens up about the emotional challenges of co-parenting with her ex-husband
LOS ANGELES, USA American media personality and businesswoman Kim Kardashian has revealed that she continues to worry about her ex-husband, rapper Kanye West, despite the challenges that have marked their relationship since their separation.
Kardashian’s latest remarks highlight the emotional difficulties of raising children with a former partner while trying to maintain a stable family environment. Although their marriage ended in divorce, she says West’s well-being remains a concern because he is the father of their four children.
Speaking in Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future, a biography written by journalist Jonathan Van Meter, Kardashian admitted that she frequently worries about West and hopes his situation will improve.
According to reports published on October 28, 2026, she explained that concern for her former husband remains a significant emotional burden, even when their relationship is difficult.
“I worry about him all day. All the time. That’s the father of my kids, I’ll never not worry about him,” she said, as reported by E! News.
A Difficult Relationship, but the Children Come First
Kardashian and West share four children: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. Since their divorce was finalised in 2022, Kardashian has continued to navigate the challenges of co-parenting while trying to protect the children from tensions between their parents.
Despite their complicated history, she remains committed to ensuring that the children maintain a relationship with their father.
Reports indicate that Kardashian is willing to put aside painful experiences and hurtful comments to allow her children to spend time with West. She has also described efforts to keep their family connections alive, including inviting him to spend time with the children.
Her approach reflects a desire to separate her personal disagreements with West from the children’s relationship with their father.
In an interview discussed by People, Kardashian also described measures she takes to shield her children from negative media coverage surrounding their parents.
Communication Sometimes Goes Through Bianca Censori
Although Kardashian and West share parental responsibilities, communication between the former couple is not always direct.
Kardashian revealed that she sometimes communicates with West through his wife, Bianca Censori, or his manager when she needs to reach him.
Their current arrangement reflects the complexities of maintaining a co-parenting relationship after a highly publicised marriage and divorce.
Nevertheless, Kardashian has indicated that their relationship has been relatively smooth at times, partly because they do not communicate frequently.
Despite the difficulties, she continues to encourage her children’s connection with their father and his family.
West’s Mental Health and Public Controversies
West, who is also known professionally as Ye, has faced public controversy in recent years, including concerns surrounding his mental health and antisemitic remarks.
In January 2026, the rapper publicly apologised for previous antisemitic statements in a full-page advertisement published in The Wall Street Journal. In the statement, he discussed his bipolar disorder diagnosis and described personal struggles that he said had affected his behaviour.
The apology attracted widespread media attention and renewed discussion about his public conduct and mental health.
Kardashian’s recent comments suggest that, despite the difficulties surrounding West’s personal life, she continues to hope that his circumstances will improve.
She has expressed uncertainty about whether things will get better but said she hopes for change for the sake of their children.
Balancing Motherhood, Career and Family Life
Kardashian has also spoken publicly about the responsibilities of raising four children while managing her business interests and entertainment career.
In October 2026, she revealed that she employs five nannies who work on a rotating basis to help care for her children.
However, she has emphasised her personal involvement in their daily routines, including taking them to school, picking them up and having dinner with them.
Her comments highlight the demands of balancing motherhood with a busy professional life while trying to provide her children with stability.
A Mother’s Hope for a Better Future
Kardashian’s latest revelations offer a glimpse into the private challenges behind one of the world’s most closely followed celebrity families.
While her relationship with West has experienced significant difficulties, her comments suggest that she remains concerned about his welfare and is determined to protect their children’s emotional well-being.
For Kardashian, the challenge is not simply managing a relationship with her former husband but ensuring that their children can grow up with a meaningful connection to both parents.
Although she has doubts about whether West’s circumstances will improve, her message remains one of hope.
Ultimately, her remarks underline a difficult reality faced by many separated parents: personal differences may remain unresolved, but the needs of their children continue to come first.
