Kim Kardashian is holding it together-barely. Kanye West has given many troubling interviews and made controversial appearances. He also shares inflammatory comments. Meanwhile, Kim is focused on keeping their kids safe from all this chaos.
A source told In Touch that Kim is taking strong actions to protect North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5. She wants to shield them from their father’s public struggles. “No one is allowed to mention a word about Kanye and everything that’s happening if the kids are home,” the insider revealed.
That rule isn’t just for her. Even other members of the Kardashian clan-many of whom are reportedly eager to air their frustrations—have been told to keep silent. “There’s certainly no trash talking allowed,” the source added. “The last thing she wants is for her kids to suffer added trauma.”
From Swastika Merch to “I Didn’t Want Kids”-Kanye’s Words Cut Deep
In recent weeks, Kanye, 47, has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. He’s been photographed wearing outfits resembling KKK robes. He’s sold swastika-inspired merchandise. And in a bombshell podcast interview with DJ Akademiks, he admitted something many found heartbreaking.
“I didn’t want to have children with this person after the first two months of being with them,” Kanye said, referring to Kim. “But that wasn’t God’s plan.”
The rapper criticized the “Kardashian Mob.” He said they made his life “hell” during their eight-year marriage. Kim, 44, has yet to respond publicly-but behind the scenes, sources say she’s devastated.
“She won’t be able to shield them from this forever, but they’re still young and she’s doing her best,” the insider shared. That includes limiting their access to social media and keeping the news turned off. “She’s trying to keep them busy and just sticking to the routine as usual.”
Kim Cuts Kanye’s Visitation Short Over Shocking New Guest List
Kim Kardashian’s goal to keep the house peaceful took a turn when Kanye invited two controversial guests-Andrew and Tristan Tate. The Tate brothers, recently detained in Romania for rape and human trafficking charges, were said to be on their way to see the rapper.
Once Kim caught wind of the visit, she acted quickly. She allegedly cut Kanye’s time short with their daughter North. “There are boundaries,” the source said. “She’s not going to let her kids be around people like that, no matter what.”
Though the Tates have denied the charges and returned to the U.S., law enforcement in the U.K. and Florida continues to investigate. For Kim, that alone is enough reason to intervene.
Despite It All, Kim Still Cares About Kanye’s Well-Being
Even after everything, Kim’s concern for Kanye hasn’t disappeared. The source said she is “completely beside herself with where this is headed.” The rapper’s increasingly erratic behavior is not only worrying fans-it’s breaking the hearts of those who knew him before the spirals.
“Watching Kanye in such a terrible stage and not having anyone step in to help him is so devastating,” the source added. “All she can do right now is try her best to keep this from her kids so they can remain innocent for as long as possible.”
“Mom, I Love You”: North Still Leans on Kim, Even from China
In the middle of all this, Kim recently enjoyed a rare break while the kids were with Kanye in China. She went glamping in Joshua Tree with mom Kris Jenner and sister Khloé Kardashian-but even then, motherhood called.
During the April 3 episode of The Kardashians, Kim revealed that North had called her mid-trip. “North is in China with her dad, she’s performing with him,” she shared. “But she is still my baby, so she calls me for everything.”
From jet lag to hotel room service confusion, North kept her mom on the phone the entire drive. “We’re in the desert so just in case it cuts out, I love you so much,” Kim said before ending the call.
Their bond has only grown stronger since Kim finalized her divorce from Kanye in 2022. “North is obsessed with me now and calls me with her friends,” Kim said. “It’s insane.”
