Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have âcompletelyâ stopped going to marriage counseling amid ongoing rumors of their imminent divorce, PEOPLE has learned.
Earlier this month, an insider told the outlet that Kimye had been in martial therapy in an attempt to save their estranged relationship. Now, itâs said the rapper has taken the next step to sever his marriage to his wife of six years. âHe is talking to divorce lawyers this week,â a source said of West to the outlet.
This latest update on Kimyeâs rocky marriage comes less than a week after Us Weekly reported that the coupleâs relationship has taken a âdownright toxicâ turn, forcing the stars even further apart.
âKim and Kanye had no option but to live apart in the end because the communication between them had gotten so downright toxic,â an insider told Us. âThey went into the latter part of 2020 with the very best of intentions and wanted to find a way to get along when they spent time together. But it reached the point where the bickering turned to nasty blowups and confrontations, and since neither of them wanted the kids exposed to that type of hostility, they [stayed] apart.â
Due to the friction between the stars, Kardashian has remained with the coupleâs children at their home in Los Angeles, whereas West has resided in Wyoming for several months. As fans know, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and the âBlack Skinheadsâ rapper share four children together: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
What remained of the coupleâs once-cordial visits reportedly ended in a âbig fightâ in early-December, which may have led to the January 5 reports of the coupleâs impending divorce.
Kardashian has since enlisted divorce lawyer Laura Wasser and the couple is reportedly âin settlement talks.â
