Kim Kardashian revealed that her parents’ divorce when she was a child took her by surprise, and the fact that they were “open” about it helped her cope with her own separation from Kanye West.

In an interview with “GQ”, the 43-year-old TV personality said that she had no idea about her parents – Robert and Kris – until they themselves invited them for a family gathering.

She was only nine years old when she learned of her parents’ divorce. “I didn’t foresee any of this. I was in the bathroom and they called us to talk to us. I remember thinking, “Please, Lord, don’t let them get a divorce.” I never had the slightest idea that was going to happen, but I knew that’s what they were going to tell us. I felt it».

Kardashian’s marriage to the 46-year-old rapper, now known as Ye, with whom she has four children, began to come to an end in 2021. She said it was important to her to make sure the children felt loved, even if the two went their separate ways.

I thought about how my parents handled it with us.”he said. “I just remember them being open. Ultimately, what matters is that children feel loved and heard. You want to be sensitive – because they are children – and it’s hard for them to go through, regardless of age. You have to make sure that you only get to a level that they can understand. Showing a vulnerable side of yourself is not reprehensible”Kim Kardashian explained.

Her father died 20 years ago of cancer, and Kim remembers a conversation she had with him. “I feel like I see him in front of me. ”I know you’ll be fine,” he had told me, ”but just take care of your brothers for me.” This was something that helped me in life and made me think differently. Also, I am more religious than many people think. I see everything as lessons. Even if it doesn’t make sense at the time, it leads you down a pathKim Kardashian added.
