Kim Kardashian and Kanye West try to figure through their differences privately.
Kim and Kanye are now reportedly vacationing with their family within the Dominican Republic. A source told those who they’re focusing “on their marriage,” adding, “They decided to travel together so that they are away in the media for a while.” Claiming that Kardashian is “exhausted,” an insider elaborated, “Between the youngsters, work, and coping with Kanye’s bipolar episodes, it has been hard for her to think clearly.”
“Kanye has made it clear that he will still endure being a president. Kim isn’t happy about it, but this is not her focus,” the source emphasized. “She just wants to try and do what’s best for the children. And they think finding some way to saving their marriage is what’s best for them.”
On Thursday, a source said Kardashian felt “torn” about her marriage and at a loss on how to make their relationship work. “She isn’t getting back what she needs from Kanye,” the source said at the time, noting that the pair’s children — daughters North, 7, and Chicago, 2, and sons Saint, 4, and Psalm, 14 months — are her priority.
“Kim is very torn,” the source added. “The last thing she wants is to be divorced with four kids. She knows that she will be fine financially, but her concerns are the kids and the partnership. She is moving towards a divorce, but who knows if she will actually sign papers.”
West recently issued a public apology to Kardashian on Twitter, writing: “I would like to apologize to my wife Kim for going public with something that was a private matter. I did not cover her like she has covered me. To Kim I want to say I know I hurt you. Please forgive me. Thank you for always being there for me.”
It has been reported that the pair are fighting their marriage since his shocking confession about their daughter West at a presidential rally last month.
After revealing that that they had considered aborting North, he went on Twitter tirades, blasting Kim for “trying to fly to Wyoming with a doctor to lock me up like on the movie Get Out because I cried about saving my daughters life yesterday.”
Kardashian eventually flew to Wyoming to work out West, who has been performing on new music there. In photos, Kim was seen looking visibly upset during a car ride with Kanye.
For reference, a source told Us Weekly, “Kim flew to Wyoming to plead with Kanye to get help and try and figure out some sort of resolution for the two of them and their family. Kim has always tried to be there for, support, and help Kanye in any way she can, but the way he has been acting and behaving in recent months has taken a toll on her and become a huge burden.”
The source added, “Kim and Kanye have talked about the possibility of ending their marriage.”
A day later, Kim was seen arriving back in Los Angeles via private plane. A source told People magazine, “After Kim left Cody, she and Kanye have been talking more. She feels like she did reach him on some levels during that trip. Before the trip, she was ready to end her marriage. But Kanye has been listening to her concerns. He has made some promises to her. Kim still sees divorce as a last resort. She is not there yet.”
Another source previously told PEOPLE that Kardashian “feels trapped” in her marriage, even though she “loves Kanye and she thinks of him as the love of her life.” According to the source, Kardashian “knows that it’s not healthy for her to be around him now.”
“And it’s honestly not healthy for the kids,” the source said. “He needs to get his stuff together before he can be any sort of partner or father. … Kim wants the best for Kanye, and she will always want what’s best for him.”
Kim and Kanye have been married since 2014.
