Kim Kardashian is on the verge of divorce from Kanye West

Sources close to reality TV star Kim Kardashian and her singer husband Kanye West said that the divorce is "imminent", as reported by the British newspaper "Daily Mail".

The newspaper added that sources close to Kim confirmed that she was preparing to file for divorce from Kanye.

This news comes after a difficult year for the couple, as they were reported to be in "crisis" discussions, after Kanye accused his wife of trying to "detain him" and said that he wanted to divorce her in a series of tweets.

Kanye had announced last July that he intended to run for the US presidential elections.

The sources said that the couple are currently in discussions about how to divide their fortunes, after they lived separately for most of last year.

Kim and Kanye met for the first time in 2004, while filming a song for Kanye, but their emotional relationship began in 2012.

Kim announced in June 2012 that she was linked to Kanye, and announced that she was pregnant with her first child North in December of the same year.

Kim gave birth to their first child in June 2013, and the two were married in Italy in May 2014.

Kim gave birth to their second child, Cent in December 2015.

Then, the couple hired a surrogate mother to carry their third child, Chicago, who gave birth to her in January 2018. They received another child from a surrogate mother in 2019.
