Kim Kardashian wishes ‘amazing’ ex-husband Kanye West a happy Father’s Day after opening up about divorce
Kim Kardashian made sure to include her estranged husband Kanye West in her Father’s Day post this year, months after filing for divorce from him.
The reality star took to Instagram to share a sweet tribute featuring throwback photos of some of the dads in her life, which included her late father Robert Kardashian, her brother Rob Kardashian, Scott Disick and Tristan Thompson.
One particular snap saw Kanye, 44, posing with the four children he shares with his ex-wife: daughters North, eight, and Chicago, three, as well as sons Saint, five, and Psalm, two.
In the caption, Kim, 40, said: ‘Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads in our lives!
‘Love you unconditionally!!!’
Her mum Kris Jenner later reshared the same picture of Kanye for her own Father’s Day post, writing: ‘Happy Father’s Day to all of the incredible fathers in our lives!!
‘Thank you for the unconditional love, the guidance, the support and the lessons you give to our families.
‘To all the fathers, step fathers, fathers to be and father figures out there, we celebrate you today!! Enjoy your day!’
Kim had filed for divorce from Kanye back in February after almost seven years of marriage.
The rapper has since been linked to model Irina Shayk, 35, with the two pictured together in France on Kanye’s birthday earlier this month.
Kim had discussed her reasons for divorcing her husband in the final episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, saying she has been in therapy since the divorce was filed.
She spoke about ‘waking up at 40 and realising I just want total happiness’, telling mum Kris that she was ‘figuring out how to get there’.
‘I never thought I was lonely,’ she explained. ‘I always thought that’s totally fine. I could just have my kids. My husband moves from state to state. And I just am on this ride with him. And I was okay with that.
‘Then after turning 40 this year, I realised, “No, I don’t want a husband that lives in a completely different state to me”. I thought, “Oh my God, that’s when we’re getting along the best”. But that is sad to me and that’s not what I want.’
She added: ‘I want someone that we have the same shows in common. I want someone that wants to work out with me. Every single day Khloe and Tristan and I would work out at 6am and I was third-wheeling it for a good eight months in quarantine. I was so envious of that.’
During the show’s reunion, Kim also said that ‘a general difference of opinions’ led to their split.
The influencer added that she saw her marriage to Kanye as her ‘first real marriage’, and said: ‘I respect him so much and you know, that was my friend first, first and foremost, for a long time, so I can’t see that going away.
‘I will forever be Kanye’s biggest fan. He’s the father of my kids, Kanye will always be family.’
