Following claims Kim Kardashian West was “ready to end her marriage” to Kanye West, a make or break holiday the couple took with their four children has put their relationship back on track.
Last week, Kardashian and West travelled to the Dominican Republic with their four kids – North, seven, Saint, five, Chicago, two and one-year-old Psalm – in a bid to smooth things over after the rapper had a very public bipolar episode due to his mental health issues.
According to magazine, the A-list couple “had a good family week” together.
“Kim and Kanye are getting along. They both seem much happier,” a source told the publication, with another adding that West, in particular, is “really enjoying his time right now”.
“They decided to travel together so they can be away in private,” another source said. “Between the kids, work, and dealing with Kanye’s bipolar episodes, it’s been hard for her to think clearly.”
Prior to their trip, the makeup mogul was just taking “things day by day” and wasn’t sure if her marriage could be saved.
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.
“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,” she said. “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.
Luckily, things now seem to be back on track…
