London, Europe Brief News – Kim Kardashian broke down in tears while speaking about her struggles co-parenting with Kanye West amid their split.
During a Monday guest spot on the Angie Martinez IRL podcast, The Kardashians star, 42, discussed the highly controversial artist and their four children.
“Co-parenting is really f—ing hard,” Kardashian said, as she was brought to tears. The former couple, who share daughters North, 9, Chicago, 4, and sons Saint, 6, and Psalm, 3, finalized their highly-publicized divorce in November, following West’s on-and-off social media play-by-play of the situation.
Despite what is going on with West, Kim Kardashian stands by the decision to shield their kids from what plays out online and says she is doing her best.
“If they don’t know things that are being said, why would I ever bring that energy to them? That is real, heavy, grownup s— that they are not ready to deal with,” she said. “When they are, we will have those conversations. One day, my kids will thank me for not sitting here and bashing their dad. I could,” she added.
“I definitely protected him,” she expanded in the interview, “and I still will in the eyes of my kids. For my kids. So, in my home, my kids don’t know anything that goes on [in] the outside world,” Kardashian shared, pointing out that sometimes she misses just being able to go to basic places like CVS Pharmacy.
“I am holding on by a thread. I know that I am so close to that not happening,” the SKIMS founder continued of the kids’ inevitable access to public information about their parents, “but while it is still that way, I will protect that to the end of the Earth as long as I can.”
