The reality star reflects on lessons learned, co-parenting, and finding peace after a public split.
Los Angeles, October 2025:
Kim Kardashian has spoken candidly about her highly publicized divorce from rapper Kanye West, revealing the emotional challenges and life lessons she faced during the breakup. Appearing on Alex Cooper’s popular Call Her Daddy podcast, the reality-TV mogul shared rare insight into her journey toward rebuilding confidence and peace after years of public scrutiny.
“Divorce isn’t something you ever imagine when you start a family,” Kim said. “But sometimes love changes form, and you have to accept that for everyone’s happiness — especially the kids.”
A Glimpse Behind the Headlines
Kardashian and West finalized their divorce in 2022 after nearly eight years of marriage. The former couple, who share four children — North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm — have remained in the spotlight as they navigate co-parenting.
On the podcast, Kim explained that one of her biggest goals has been to keep life “as normal as possible” for her children despite constant media attention.
“I never want my kids to feel caught between two parents. My priority is always their emotional safety,” she noted.
The 44-year-old entrepreneur admitted there were moments when she felt overwhelmed by public commentary but credited therapy, close friends, and her mother Kris Jenner for keeping her grounded.
Healing and Growth
Kim reflected on how the experience taught her patience and self-reflection.
“I had to learn to be okay on my own again — to trust my decisions without noise from the outside,” she said.
She also emphasized how personal growth has shaped her outlook on relationships and self-worth:
“I’m proud that I didn’t let heartbreak harden me. I still believe in love, but I know now that peace matters more than perfection.”
Since the divorce, Kardashian has focused on her businesses — including SKIMS, her beauty line, and criminal-justice reform initiatives — while raising her children. She also mentioned that dating is not her main priority right now:
“If it happens naturally, great. But right now, I’m focusing on my family and my work.”

Finding Balance in the Spotlight
Despite her global fame, Kim acknowledged that the constant attention can be exhausting. She told Cooper that learning to set boundaries with the media and on social platforms was key to maintaining her mental health.
“You can’t control every headline, but you can control your response. I choose to protect my peace.”
She also credited meditation, journaling, and spending time with her children as ways to stay centered.
A Message of Strength and Resilience
The Call Her Daddy conversation offered fans a more vulnerable side of Kim Kardashian — one focused on healing, gratitude, and moving forward. Her openness struck a chord with listeners, many praising her for addressing emotional health and co-parenting with honesty.
“I hope people realize that even when life looks perfect from the outside, everyone has struggles,” she concluded. “The most powerful thing you can do is be kind to yourself.”
