Kim Kardashian faces a major challenge co-parenting with her ex-husband Kanye West as her eldest daughter North wants to stay with her dad permanently.
The 43-year-old mother of four revealed her daughter prefers her dad to her during a joint confessional with Kourtney Kardashian in a new episode of The Kardashians which started streaming on Thursday, November 2, 2023.
“North will go to her dad’s and she will say, ‘Dad’s is the best. He has it all figured out. He doesn’t have a nanny or a chef or security. He lives in an apartment’. And she will start crying, ‘Why don’t you have an apartment? I can’t believe we don’t have an apartment’,” Kim said.
Kim and Kanye broke up in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage. They have four children together.
After their divorce was finalized in November 2022, Kim offered a candid look at the challenges of co-parenting with Kanye.
“I had the best dad. I don’t want to get emotional, but it’s just been a day for me. It is hard. Coparenting is really f—king hard. I had the best dad and the best experiences, and that is all I want for my kids. As long as they can have that, that is what I want for them,” Kim she shared on the “Angie Martinez IRL” podcast one month after her divorce was finalized.
The former couple have continued to communicate while prioritizing their children. On a separate episode of The Kardashians, Kim recalled how she told Kanye she hired a caretaker for their kids.
“I recently hired a manny [male nanny] because I really wanted a male around that was going to be picking them up and taking them to sports. I was scared out of my mind to tell their dad that,” she said in the October 19 episode.
“When he was dropping off the kids, Kanye introduced himself and played [soccer] with Saint and him. He was so nice to him,” Kim added. “He said, ‘Hey, if you are going to help raise my son …’ Because [the nanny] handed [Saint] the ball really easily and [Kanye] said, ‘Don’t do that. Make him go get it himself. These are some of the rules I would want.’”
