It's been a turbulent weekend for Kim Kardashian and her ex Kanye Ye West , whose relationship appears to be more strained than ever. She officially claims to be "sick" of the drama.
On Friday, January 14, the rap artist alleged that she was allegedly forbidden to enter her ex's house, where she used to live, after picking up her children from school. This is reportedly due to the presence of Pete Davidson , whom Kim has been dating since last fall.
On Saturday, January 15, Ye attended her daughter De Ella's fourth birthday party in Chicago West , hosted by the Kardashian family to jointly celebrate Kylie Jenner 's daughter Stormi Webster's birthday. All this after she claimed in a viral video that she initially did not tell her the location of the event.
"It's not like Kanye wasn't invited to the birthday party," a source close to Kim revealed to E! News on Sunday, January 16. “It's just that Kim was under the impression that he wanted to do his own celebration. She was fine with her coming over to Kylie's house and she's happy the kids get to see them together."
The source added: “Kim and Kanye are not on great terms right now. She is really trying to keep the peace between them for the sake of the children.” The acquaintance also said that the fashion entrepreneur and founder of SKIMS “is being neutral with Kanye and she doesn't want any drama . Kim is really upset that Kanye keeps talking about family matters on social media. She believes that he still has full access to Kim and no limits. She got over it."
Photos were posted on social media of Ye celebrating with Chicago and chatting with Kim's mother, Kris Jenner, at the party. Hollywood Unlocked later shared a video of Kanye in a car, saying, "I just have to thank Travis Scott (Kylie Jenner's partner) for sending me the address and time and making sure I can have that birthday memory with my daughter, being there. with the rest of the family. I just saw everyone. Kris and (her boyfriend of hers) Corey (Gamble) and Kylie, Kylie let me in, right when I got to the place. Security stopped me once again when I got there.”
Kylie and her boyfriend Travis have not commented , nor has Kim, who shares four children with Ye and filed for divorce from him in February.
“I am very happy that I can be there for my children,” Ye, who recently bought a house across the street from the family . "My life is focused on my children and I had a great time today."
Another source close to Kim has said “ Kanye is welcome to see the kids , but he has to organize it. Kim doesn't want him to show up at her house unannounced or for her to come whenever she pleases. Children have schedules and do well with structure. She wants to keep that and believes that she will help them. She wants to be able to let them know what's going on ahead of time so they can transition smoothly."
While Kim has been dating Pete , in recent weeks, Ye has started dating actress Julia Fox . But before they met over the New Year holidays, the rapper publicly and repeatedly expressed his desire to reconcile with Kim .
“Kanye has been desperately trying to win her back and Kim is over him,” the first source close to Kim told E! News. “She wants to be able to move on in peace.” The source added: “The whole family sees Kanye for who he is and accepts him. Everyone still loves him and wants him around so he can be there for the kids. It's hard, because they also want Kim to be at peace and for her to be able to move on with her life. Kim hopes that they can have a more structured schedule and that Kanye sticks to it."
