Four years after their highly publicized divorce, Kim Kardashian has affirmed that Kanye West will "always be family". The reality TV star and businesswoman made the comments in a recent interview with Complex, addressing her current relationship with the rapper and fashion mogul.

Kardashian and West, who were married in 2014 and divorced in 2022, share four children: North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 6. The couple's separation in 2021 after seven years of marriage and subsequent divorce proceedings were widely covered by the media.

In the interview, Kardashian explained that despite their romantic separation, their bond as a family remains strong, primarily due to their children. "We'll always be family. We both know that," she stated. "We will be okay, and there's so much love for our family. We want what's best for our kids".

Kardashian's remarks come months after she spoke about the emotional strain her marriage had on her health. On a recent episode of "The Kardashians," she alluded to the stress from her relationship with West contributing to recurring health problems and feelings of being emotionally trapped.

West has also publicly addressed his behavior, with a full-page apology published in The Wall Street Journal where he attributed some of his actions to mental health challenges, including bipolar disorder. He acknowledged that he had been "out of touch with reality" at times and recognized the impact of his actions on those around him.

Kardashian's recent comments also follow her public support of West's Yeezy brand. In early January, she showcased a pair of Yeezy heels on TikTok, explaining to Complex, "I couldn't deny the Yeezy heel, so I had to shout it out".

The sentiment of prioritizing family and the well-being of their children appears to be a shared focus for both Kardashian and West as they navigate their post-divorce relationship.

In other news, Kardashian has recently been linked to Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, though neither party has confirmed the rumors.
