Kim Kardashian Breaks Down In Tears Over Challenges Of Co-parenting With Kanye West

Kim Kardashian is speaking out for the first time since her divorce from ex husband, Kanye West became finalized last month.

In a previously recorded interview with Angie Martinez on her “IRL” podcast published Monday, December 26, Kardashian opened up about the complexities of co-parenting with Kanye.

“Co-parenting is hard,” Kardashian said. “It’s really f—ing hard.”

She became emotional talking about her late father, Robert Kardashian, who died in 2003. The reality TV star tearfully said:

“I had the best dad, and I had the best memories and the greatest experience and that’s all I want for my kids. That’s what I would want for them.”

Although she did not specifically address Kanye’s recent antisemitic comments and controversies, the mom-of-four said she shields their children as best as possible from media coverage.

According to business mogul, she is confident that their kids are not aware of Kanye’s recent behavior because she limits their access to television, social media and is friends with their teachers. Kardashian said:

“If they don’t know the things that are being said or what’s happening in the world, why would I ever bring that energy to them? That’s really heavy grown-up s— that they’re not ready to deal with.”

She added she protects Kanye in the “eyes of my kids, for my kids.” She said:

“One day my kids will thank me for sitting here and not bashing their dad when I could. They’ll thank me and I’ll privately answer anything that they want to know. It’s not my place anymore to jump in.”

Kardashian then referenced a statement she made in October, condemning hate speech.

“I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end,”

Kardashian said at the time.

Recall back in September Kanye publicly apologized to Kardashian in an interview with “Good Morning America” for “any stress” he’s caused her. He said at the time:

“This is the mother of my children, and I apologize for any stress that I have caused, even in my frustration because God calls me to be stronger.”
