On Monday, during the latest episode of Angie Martinez’s IRL podcast, Kim Kardashian discussed her co-parenting situation with her controversial ex-husband, Kanye West.
As she broke down in tears, Kardashian sobbed, “Co-parenting is really f*cking hard,” in response to her highly publicized divorce that was finalized this November.
The two share daughters North, 9, Chicago, 4, and sons Saint, 6, and Psalm, 3.
“If they don’t know things that are being said, why would I ever bring that energy to them? That is real, heavy, grownup s— that they are not ready to deal with,” she said. “When they are, we will have those conversations. One day, my kids will thank me for not sitting here and bashing their dad. I could.”
“I definitely protected him,” she explained, “and I still will in the eyes of my kids. For my kids. So, in my home, my kids don’t know anything that goes on [in] the outside world,” Kardashian shared.
“I am holding on by a thread. I know that I am so close to that not happening,” she shared of the kids. “but while it is still that way, I will protect that to the end of the Earth as long as I can.”
“If we are riding to school, and they want to listen to their dad’s music — no matter what we are going through — I have to have that smile on my face and blast his music and sing along with my kids. [I can] act like nothing is wrong, and as soon as I drop them off, I can have a good cry.”
