Kim Kardashian voiced the unspoken weight of waiting for a call that might not come, revealing how months without word from Ye have reshaped their family routine.
In a heartfelt exchange on the Call Her Daddy podcast, she got real about juggling life as the primary parent to their four children, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. Kardashian explained the full scope of her role, saying,
“It’s not easy. I mean, I raise the kids, you know, full time. They live with me.”
She went on to highlight her dedication to fostering connection, adding,
“I welcome a great, healthy relationship with my kids and their dad. He knows that. I push for it all the time. But I also protect them when it’s time for that. And it goes in waves and phases.”
When pressed on recent contact, Kardashian shared the tough truth:
“Whenever he’ll call for them and ask, it’s probably been a couple months since we’ve heard from him.”
She described how the kids handle it with grace, rooted in familiarity with his jet setting ways.
“They always knew that he had a big life traveling before and was always on tour and all of that,”
She noted.
“So it’s, you know, and that he lives in different countries all the time and loves to live all over the place. So, you know, we manage it really well. Like they love like their life, their routine and their schedule. And I think just their job as their mom is just to make sure that they stick to their routine and they’re healthy and happy.”
Kardashian did not hold back on debunking persistent myths from their 2022 divorce, when Ye aired grievances online about limited access. She fired back with conviction:
“And the one thing that just gets me is that there’s this narrative that like, I keep the kids. I’ve never once, you know, away from him. I’ve never once done that.”
She elaborated on her proactive stance, recounting,
“Like there’s been so many times where I’ve been like, oh, I just want to show all of these texts. What are you talking about? Haven’t heard. I begged them, you know, to go hang out or things like that.”
Addressing the dramatic accusations head-on, she clarified,
“It’s more of just the narrative that like, I think it’s all good and we’re living our life. And then I just wake up and there’s all these tweets about how I’ve kidnapped the kids. And I’m like, it’s not a kidnapping. It’s a divorce.”
Her commitment shines through in every detail, as she affirmed,
“Every time he has asked, I will always let them see their father. That’s just who I am.”
Even in challenging moments, she adapts thoughtfully:
“You know, if there’s a time where it’s just really super unhealthy, I will, you know, say, hey, let’s do it here at my house or let’s figure out a different time. But, you know, he lives in these different countries and I send them and, you know, to Saudi Arabia and Italy and Japan and all over the world. Every time he asks, I’ve never once denied it.”
These quotes peel back layers on a story that resonates beyond Hollywood, showing how even power couples grapple with the pull of separate lives on young minds.
