Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s Trial Separation Lasted for Six Weeks (EXCLUSIVE)


After suffering a breakdown at the end of 2016, Kanye West has been keeping an extremely low profile. But what fans didn’t know is that the rapper and his wife Kim Kardashian were going through a trial separation.

“They want you to think that Kanye just needed a break from fame and Hollywood, [but] he also wanted a break from Kim and his life with her,” the insider reveals.

But the duo’s third wedding anniversary on May 24 made them reconsider the split.

It’s an ongoing struggle.”

For example, Kanye, who infamously threw out a good chunk of Kim’s wardrobe when they first got together, “feels like she isn’t worldly or interested in experiencing other cultures,” the source admits.

A third source told Life & Style earlier this month that the artist, who’s allegedly in Wyoming working on a new album, is still struggling to find stability. “He’s not back to himself since the hospitalization. He doesn’t want to put himself in a situation where he’s taking on too much.”
