Kim Kardashian West is reportedly trying to “save” her marriage to Kanye West.
Following West’s very public erratic behaviour with Kardashian having to make a statement about his bipolar disorder, the makeup mogul flew to Cody, Wyoming in the USA where the pair own a ranch together.
According to , the 39-year-old was ready to tell her husband “their marriage is over and to say goodbye”, but the publication reports that Kardashian has had a change of heart and is willing to give things a second go.
“She feels like she did reach him on some levels during that trip,” a source told the magazine. “Before the trip, she was ready to end her marriage, but Kanye has been listening to her concerns.”
As a result of listening to his wife, West has apparently “made some promises to her”. This prompted the 43-year-old rapper to reportedly suggest going on a family trip, with Kardashian “wanting to do everything she can to save her marriage”.
However, there’s some “complicated” aspects the pair need to work through, including the rapper getting “proper help”.
“Kim is just taking things day by day right now,” the source said. “She isn’t sure if their marriage can be saved, but she is willing to keep trying for their kids.”
A couple of weeks ago, Kardashian took to Instagram to address the erratic behaviour her husband has been showing and also addressed his bipolar disorder.
“As many of you know, Kanye has bipolar disorder,” she began. “Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand.”
She continued to say, “I understand Kanye is subject to criticism because he is a public figure and his actions at times can cause strong opinions and emotions.”
The 39-year-old went onto highlight how the loss of his mother has affected him, as well as struggling with mental health issues has put “pressure” on him.
“He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a Black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, and has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bipolar disorder,” she said. “Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words some times [sic] do not align with his intentions.
“Living with bipolar disorder does not diminish or invalidate his dreams and his creative ideas, no matter how big or unobtainable they may feel to some. That is part of his genius and as we have all witnessed, many of his big dreams have come true.”
She asked that everyone give “grace” to the individuals, including her husband, who are struggling with mental issues, and also asked for “compassion and empathy” during this trying time.
