Kim Kardashian Reveals Kanye's Mental Health Fueled Divorce

Kim Kardashian has shared new insights into her divorce from Kanye West, citing his mental health as a primary factor. In an October 2025 appearance on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, Kardashian detailed difficulties she faced, particularly concerning negative comments directed at her family. She stated that such circumstances made it impossible for the marriage to continue.

Kardashian recalled instances of West experiencing mental health episodes, including one occasion where he reportedly gave away all his cars. She mentioned that these episodes occurred multiple times over the years. Despite the marital challenges, Kardashian emphasized her commitment to being a good mother to their four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

The reality star also expressed past disappointment regarding their marriage, noting West's frequent absence due to living in different states. She shared that her decision to prioritize her own satisfaction, a change from her usual attempts to keep others happy, ultimately led to the divorce. The couple's divorce was officially settled in court in February 2022, approximately a year after Kardashian filed.
