According to a source, Kim and Kanye are believed to have been keeping their distance from one another during recent months for the sake of their children.
Speaking to Us Weekly, they said: “Kim and Kanye had no option but to live apart in the end because the communication between them had gotten so downright toxic.”
According to the source, the couple went into the latter part of 2020 with the very best of intentions to try and find a way to get along.
However, the source revealed that tensions “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.”

Thanks to their efforts Kim and Kanye’s children – North, seven, Saint, five, Chicago, two, and Psalm, one – know nothing of the their parents woes.
“The kids don’t know anything about the problems their parents are having,” an insider told the US Weekly.
The source noted that Kim and Kanye have been “working in different states” since the Yeezy mogul found a place in Wyoming in September 2019.
“Their kids are very used to their dad living in another state,” they said.

Kanye has “put down roots” at his Wyoming ranch while Kim stays put in Los Angeles.
After his doomed 2020 Presidential run and bizarre tweets, a source told People that “Kim and Kanye’s marriage is beyond repair.”
“Kim is over Kanye’s chaos, and at this point she just wants to focus on the kids and her own life,” they said.
“If I had to say the final straw, I believe it was a combination of the Presidential run and his Twitter rants.

“It created havoc at home. And though Kim is well aware of his issues [bipolar disorder], and tried to help him, she realized it was futile.”
The news comes after The Sun exclusively revealed that Kanye’s paranoid behavior resulted in key members of his staff – including security guards – quitting while two of his workers “created friction” with his A-list pals.
The source said the staff “become involved in personal issues, business issues and everybody else’s issues” – which has rubbed the rapper’s inner circle of musicians, fashion workers and hangers on the wrong way.
Kanye has reportedly been holed at his $14million ranch and it’s believed that his security guards had told him the people around him were compromising his safety and making their jobs difficult.

The source said he is concerned for the star’s mental health after years of trying to manage his bipolar condition and he is worried he may never again be well.
“He suffers from terrible paranoia when he’s not channeling all his efforts into his art,” they told The Sun. “Paranoia is a byproduct of his sickness.
“He’s very fortunate that he can put his energy into his art, his creativity.”
“I don’t know if there is a solution for his kind of sickness.”

The Sun also revealed that Kanye is “re-writing his long-delayed album, Donda – which was due for release last July – to be about his split” from wife Kim.
