During a previous KUWTK episode, Kardashian revealed how her husband would move to a different state each year. She confessed that she was left needing to keep things together so she could raise their children.
In August, another “Us Weekly” source claimed the KKW Beauty Founder was quite conflicted about how she and her children’s future would be like without West. The pair had been married for 7 years when she filed for divorce.
The February 2021 filing allegedly left West surprised as he hadn’t known how unhappy and lonely his wife was. That’s reportedly when West started changing his behavior, leaving Kardashian confused.
