Kim Kardashian is trying to keep her life drama-free amid ex Kanye West’s recent public statements about their co-parenting relationship.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West share four children — daughters North, 8, and Chicago, 4, and sons Saint, 6, and Psalm, 2½. They were married for about seven years before Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021.
Almost a year later, a source told PEOPLE Magazine that the former couple “has been in a better place.”
“It’s a lot of drama right now,” the source says. “Kim is trying her best to ignore it all though. She doesn’t want the kids to know what’s going on.”
“It’s all getting very complicated,” the insider added.
West said he wasn’t invited to Chicago’s joint birthday party with cousin Stormi Webster, Kylie Jenner’s daughter with Travis Scott.
Stormi and Chicago’s gigantic birthday sign sat near a large pink, blue and white ball pit.
Despite the rapper’s claims, another source told PEOPLE that he is “always welcome and does come to family events.” West did ultimately end up attending the celebration, per photos and videos family members posted of the event.
A source close to Kardashian said that while many of West’s claims in the interview are “false,” he was in fact “not allowed inside” the star’s home that day, but said security “didn’t stop him from seeing the kids, picking them up or dropping them off.”
“He just can no longer walk inside her home without her permission,” the source said. They also added that Kardashian “has a right to privacy and is trying to set healthy boundaries.”
