Kim Kardashian Opens Up About the Struggles of Co-Parenting with Kanye West, Reveals It’s Been “a Couple of Months” Since He Last Saw Their Kids — “It’s Not Easy”
Kim Kardashian is speaking openly about one of the most delicate parts of her life — raising her four children while navigating the complexities of co-parenting with her ex-husband, Kanye West. During her recent appearance on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, the reality star and business mogul offered a rare glimpse into how she’s managing family life behind the scenes and how difficult it’s been for her kids to adjust to the changes.
The 43-year-old SKIMS founder revealed that it’s been “a couple of months” since Kanye, 47, last saw their children — North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm — a revelation that took many fans by surprise. While Kim avoided any harsh words, her tone carried the quiet exhaustion of someone who has been holding a family together on her own. “It’s not easy,” she admitted, describing her daily efforts to balance compassion, boundaries, and stability in the midst of a fractured dynamic.
For Kim, protecting her children’s emotional well-being remains her top priority. “No matter what happens between adults, kids deserve peace,” she said, a statement that reflects her consistent effort to shield them from public drama. Despite years of very public controversies surrounding Kanye’s personal and professional life, Kim has always maintained that she wants her children to have a relationship with their father. But, as she hinted in the interview, that connection has grown increasingly distant over time.
Those close to the Kardashian family have long described Kim as the “anchor” of her household — the parent who provides consistency amid constant change. From school runs and bedtime stories to balancing her global business empire, Kim continues to project an image of calm resilience. Yet, moments like this interview reveal that beneath the polished exterior lies a woman carrying the full weight of parenthood and fame at once. “I don’t think people realize how hard it can be to manage everything — emotionally, mentally, and physically,” she reflected.
Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, has been living largely outside the public eye in recent months. While reports have circulated about his time spent overseas and his marriage to designer Bianca Censori, Kim’s comments make clear that the distance between him and his children has become more than just geographical. Still, she chose empathy over criticism, expressing hope that things might improve in the future. “It’s complicated,” she said simply. “But I’ll never stop hoping for peace.”
It’s not the first time Kim has spoken about the emotional challenges of co-parenting. In past interviews, she’s described nights spent in tears after putting the kids to bed, and mornings when she forces herself to smile so they never sense the struggle. “You just do it,” she once said. “You show up, because that’s what they deserve.” It’s that steady determination that has earned her respect, even from critics who once doubted her ability to manage such personal turbulence in the public eye.
Over the years, Kim and Kanye’s relationship has gone through many phases — from power couple to parents, from creative partners to separated individuals. Their love story, once celebrated, eventually gave way to disagreements and differing lifestyles. But even now, Kim refuses to rewrite the past. “I’ll always acknowledge what we had,” she said. “We built a family together, and I’ll always be grateful for that.”
In many ways, Kim Kardashian’s story resonates with millions of parents who’ve faced similar struggles, albeit on a smaller stage. Her experience shows that even those with fame, fortune, and influence are not immune to heartbreak or the slow unraveling of family bonds. What stands out, however, is her continued commitment to grace — even when the cameras stop rolling.
As the interview ended, Kim’s voice softened as she spoke about her kids. “They’re my world,” she said. “Everything I do is for them. I just hope that one day, when they’re older, they’ll see that I did my best.”
For now, she continues to lead with quiet strength, navigating an imperfect reality with the same resilience that’s defined her entire journey.
