Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s daughter, North West, accused her of ‘pretending to be okay’ with her single status and encouraged her to get a new boyfriend
Kim Kardashian revealed her daughter has encouraged her to ‘move on’ from ex-husband Kanye West after noticing she was ‘pretending to be okay’. The 44-year-old socialite and Kanye, 48, tied the knot in 2014, but their marriage soon crumbled and she filed for divorce seven years later, citing irreconcilable differences..
The former couple, who share North, Saint, nine, Chicago, seven, and Psalm, six, went through many ups and downs over the years, with Ye hitting out at the mother of his children multiple times on social media. Kim has mainly remained silent on her family affairs, but recently broke her silence in an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast.
Speaking to host Alex Cooper, Kim said her 12-year-old daughter encouraged her to get a boyfriend.

Kim said her daughter told her she was ‘pretending’ to be okay about being single and told her: “I think you go upstairs and cry at night.”
North reportedly also told her: “It’s time to move on. You need to have a boyfriend now.”
However, Kim insists she doesn’t want to be in another relationship, admitting: “I am single and I feel totally content. I have my kids to raise. I have a life that, like, requires a lot of my attention. And my kids just really need me right now.
“So I don’t know how I would fit something else in. So I’m just not looking.”
Kim touched upon her relationship issues with Kanye, revealing she was first attracted to him due to his intellect. However, their relationship very quickly became strained.
“When someone has like their first mental break, you want to be super supportive and you want to help figure that out and be there for them,” she explained.
“But when someone isn’t willing to make changes that I think would’ve been super healthy and beneficial, it makes it really hard to continue on in a relationship that can be toxic.”
Having children made it difficult for her to leave, and she stayed with the rapper, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016 but later claimed he was misdiagnosed, in hopes he would improve.
When things never improved, she decided to leave and show their kids a ‘good example of setting boundaries’.
“I had to save myself in order to be a better mum for everyone,” Kim admitted. “And I think when everyone’s older they’ll be able to understand it and see that all.”
When asked about what the ‘final straw’ was, she said: “There was just a lot of things that I wouldn’t deal with. I didn’t like the talking bad about my kids’ grandmother, aunts – if someone feels that way, then we shouldn’t be together. You know, airing out a lot of stuff, a lot of personal stuff.”
