Kim Kardashian spends quality time with her ‘favourite boys’ amid Kanye West divorce rumours

Kim Kardashian was surrounded by her ‘favourite boys’ last night but estranged husband Kanye West was nowhere to be seen. 

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star spent quality time with her children, North, seven, Saint, five, Chicago, three, Psalm, one, and niece Dream, four, on Wednesday evening with a cosy night in. 

In the kitchen, North was busy giving her younger siblings and cousin a lesson in how to cook ramen under Kim’s watchful eye. At one point, the reality star was forced to warn the kids to ‘move back from the fire’ as they got a little too close to the hob. 

Later, Kim lavished attention on her ‘favourite boys’ Saint and Psalm, the latter of whom was busy watching TV in his high chair. 

Saint proved to be a loving older brother by affectionately patting Psalm’s head and snuggling into the little one’s cheek. 

Missing from the night in was Kim’s husband Kanye, who hasn’t been pictured with the family in months. 

The couple are reported to be getting a divorce after more than six years of marriage and an incredibly turbulent past year. 

Neither Kim nor Kanye have spoken out about their rumoured split but a source claims the Gold Digger rapper ‘is not doing well’. 

The insider added to People: ‘He is anxious and very sad. He knows that the marriage is over, and there’s nothing that can be done right now. He also knows what he is losing in Kim.’ 

It’s believed Kim, 40, was pushed to end the marriage after Kanye’s controversial rant at his presidential campaign rally last summer, where he disclosed that they considered aborting North when Kim fell pregnant. 

According to the source: ‘She has defended him privately to her family. She has stood beside him at a time where a few wives would have done that.’ 

‘There is very little hope of reconciliation. It would have to be a miracle. But Kanye does believe in miracles,’ they added. 

Fans were curious to see if Kim would post any Valentine’s Day surprises from Kanye, 43, as she typically does but there was no mention of the romantic holiday on her socials.
