Kim Kardashian ‘feels good that she has her own money if things ever go south’

FFN_MUG_Kardashian_Kim_EXC_021616_51972698

Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian, back in LA as of Tuesday. She was photographed every day she was in NYC, but now that she’s back in LA, I expect she’ll be hiding out for a few more months and not getting pap’d all that much. She’s been quite open about how she wants to lose more post-pregnancy weight, but I do hope she comes out for an Oscars party two weekends from now. As you can see, Kim is already “back” to her dark hair too. Probably because that blonde sh-t she had in NYC was just a wig. Also: these photos are of Kim coming out of her dermatologist’s office. A little post-NYC Botox and lip fillers?

And there’s no mystery about where Kim went after the visit to her dermy. She went home… to her mom’s house, where she’s been living with her babies and Kanye West for literally years now. Kim and Kanye bought a house together in the first year of their relationship, but after several years of Kanye’s costly renovations, neither of them wanted to live there. So they bought another house and guess what? Endless reno.

Money is no object when it comes to Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West’s new home in Hidden Hills, California.

“They both make a ton of money but they also spend a ton. And they are sparing no expense with their new house,” a source tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “$20,000 fixtures, the perfect flooring – the costs have been endless.”

The couple and their children – North, 2, and Saint, 2 months – have been living with family matriarch Kris Jenner while renovating their home. Meanwhile, the couple’s Bel-Air mansion remains on the market.

“It was a huge mistake,” says a family insider of the property, which the couple bought for $11 million in 2013 but never lived in. “Both Kim and Kanye were really disappointed in how that turned out.”

[From People]

It seems like maybe somewhere deep inside, Kanye doesn’t want to live on his own with Kim and their children, right?

As for Kim and Kanye’s communal property versus their separate assets, a source also tells People Mag that Kim is “well aware” of Kanye’s self-financing his forays into fashion (at a cost of $53 million), and “Their finances are separate, but they don’t keep secrets from each other, and when it comes to things for the kids, the house they’re working on, they share expenses.” The source also emphasizes that Kim isn’t a spendthrift like Kanye, that Kim “feels good that she has her own money if things ever go south, but of course it stresses her out a little that they even have to think about finances at all.” Yeah. I mean, good for her for keeping her eye on her finances (some women don’t), but it sounds like Kim is prepared to walk. Maybe she’ll walk soon.

    She’s making really sure that when she and Kanye split, she comes out looking good.

    • Christin says:

      That is the only thing I believe about this mess. Not sure if this isn’t one big storyline, but she is trying to look like the heroine right now.

      • Kate says:

        What PMK releases to the press is always calculated. We can be certain that it is no coincidence that Kim is suddenly “talking” about her personal financial situation.

      • qwerty says:

        Either way, she’s not being stupid for a change. Maybe these poor teenage girls who have her as their life guru will learn something useful from her example for once. There was a great article making rounds on feminist websites lately called “A Story of a F*** Off Fund”, every girl, young woman – every woman period should read it.

      • Antonym says:

        @qwerty – your comment led me to look up and read “A Story of a F*** Off Fund” and I’m glad I did. Totally agree with you, we all need a F-Off fund.

    • Talie says:

      Yes, the foundation is being laid for her to slip out of the marriage — maybe by year’s end if he doesn’t turn his act around.

      • Sabrine says:

        She probably was at the dermatologist’s office to see about her psoriasis. I have a bit of it and see mine on a regular basis, maybe once or twice a year. She looks like she’s lost quite a bit of weight in that photo.

      • Luca76 says:

        @sabrine are we really pretending that woman isn’t toxed to the gills???

      • Snowflake says:

        Thank you luca76 🙂

      • Ennie says:

        I don’t think she’s breastfeeding at all. They were in New york, and the baby is too young to be traveling, but who knows?
        She seems botoxed. I think they might get/but breastfeeding milk somewhere, for reals.

      • nikko says:

        What he’s doing and saying now is an “ACT.” When he’s promoting his music he always goes off saying anything and everything. I don’t Kim is leaving him anytime soon, she and her whole family are crazy about him. She knows what’s going on. I think her mom fears it’s gonna look bad on Kim so she throws out these comments.

      • Mare says:

        That foundation was laid with an ironclad prenup. Now that he’s opened doors for them, he’s outlived his usefulness.
        Besides, he’s crazy!

    • jojo says:

      yep, yep-I guess we know what mama pimp kris has in mind for Kim’s “storyline” next season.

      I think it’s pretty obvious their marriage is a sort of business arrangement for whatever reason.

      • Almond shake says:

        I think these two are for real, but Kylie’s bf is still around because he’s good for generating headlines, for sure.

  2. Lucy2 says:

    Thanks for the update, anonymous source! (Aka Kris Jenner).

    • minx says:

      Yep. The K Family has put Kanye on an ice floe and is waving goodbye.

    • Denisemich says:

      It doesn’t make sense. I don’t think Kris and Kanye talk really about money or that Kim K signed off on this. Vanity Fair just published an article on Kanye’s finances”Kanye West’s $53 Million Debt, Explained”.

      This is how business works. Kanye won’t go bankrupt his companies will go bankrupt.

      Why isn’t anyone asking why he praised P.Diddy and not Jay Z?

  3. Kristen820 says:

    It could be Kim not wanting to live with Kanye and the kids, too… At least at PMK’s house, there are others around so Kim’s not the ONLY one enduring Kanye’s megalomaniacal rants.

    • swak says:

      Kim didn’t want to live with Kris H so I believe they both don’t want to live with each other.

    • JenniferJustice says:

      That’s what I think. She would be the one having to put up with Kanye all by herself. At least her mom’s, she has her mom and sisters and they’re all there for her kids.

      i don’t even believe she ever intended to live with him. I think the constant renovations on both houses is a ruse so she can stay at her mom’s and he can do whatever he wants. I don’t she has any idea how to live on her own. How to take care of her kids on her own. How to be a wife and manage a household. She wants to be a forever child – wait! Make that forever princess.

      • Belle Epoch says:

        We had a babysitter once who overheard the mother screaming, “ALAN! Alan come here! You know I can’t handle both of them without you!”

  4. GiGi says:

    I have to say that of all the bizarre things about Kim Kardashian, the fact that she never wants to live alone with her husbands is tops for me. Remember how she freaked out when Kris Humphries actually expected them to live *together* in the *same house* after they were married?

    • Liberty says:

      This.

      One foot out the door from the start, wallet in hand, or never leave home. Kris’s leashes must be very tight. Kind of reminds me of the “can’t leave home” core plot of the wonderful book The Accidental Tourist (by Anne Tyler), too.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Yes, what is with that? Is it just easier to live with her mother because she won’t have to run or supervise the household? Or she doesn’t want to be alone when he’s out of town, or what? Totally baffling.

      • Felina says:

        I think she stayed at PMK’s because it is in a gated community. How much easier will that make it for her to toss him out? “but officer,this is my mothers house and I live here with my children.”

    • minx says:

      Kanye has been fine with that all along because he spends a lot of time in Europe with Ricardo. So in that way they were well matched.

    • Ennie says:

      That marriage was just to get story lines and make her not seem eternally single. He seemed really into her, he probably bought their bull.

      • AnneR says:

        He seemed really into her money and visibility.

      • Jwoolman says:

        If you mean Kris H, he had plenty of money so I doubt that was a big attraction. He’d rather be playing basketball. He’s not into extravagant spending or living, that type holds onto money pretty well rather than letting a fortune slip through his fingers when the big money will be coming in only short-term. He has a share of the family business in addition to being at the beginning of a basketball career.

    • MB says:

      Yes I do, but im pretty sure her major issue with it was that she didnt want to live in Minnesota, rather she wanted to stay in L.A (and I cant say I can blame her), and he was largely unwilling to compromise.

    • pk says:

      I’m sure she would have moved in with Reggie had they married.

    • Jwoolman says:

      She also freaked at the idea of living quietly in Minnesota for at least part of the year. She must think we don’t have running water and airports out here in the Midwest. She has no problem living in New York or Florida for prolonged periods for her shows. I’m reasonably sure she talked differently to Kris H. about such things before the wedding, so he kept getting hit with “what the heck?” moments from her when she would do complete reversals. The show was scripted, but I always thought the guys weren’t entirely let in on the script.

  5. The Eternal Side-Eye says:

    If she plays her cards just right she’ll come out of this looking better than Kanye.

    • Kate says:

      That is exactly what PMK and Kim are doing, playing their cards.

    • saras says:

      Ugh I know and she already is. The poor put upon Kim and crazy Kangry story is off and running. The contract kids and all her connections have been made so she will wait until all the baby weight is gone then shed her last 205lb problem due to duress or threatening behavior!

    • majicou says:

      Looking at Kanye’s outbursts (Hurricane Katrina, Taylor Swift) and twitter comments, her pr team doesn’t need to do much to make that happen.

  6. sing it says:

    while i do think both kim and kanye have contemplated leaving at one point or another, i don’t think keeping finances separate necessarily indicates the end of their marriage. i also don’t think kim’s thoughts of “in case things go south” is necessarily indicative of trouble in her marriage. (there are other things though that might indicate an impending divorce, but i don’t think this is one of them.) being in love and being married are wonderful, but to think there’s a 100% chance things will never go south is ridiculous.

  7. “feels good that she has her own money *WHEN* things ever go south, but of course it stresses her out a little that they even have to think about finances at all.”

    There. Fixed it for her.

    • Belle says:

      Perfect! *lol*

      Seriously, it is a case of when, not if. As soon as Kanye becomes more of a detriment than an asset to the Kardashian brand, he’ll be kicked to the curb. This latest “leak” was just getting things in place so that when the sh*t hits the fan, none will be landing on Kim.

  8. Pix says:

    Ugh – So Kim will leave Kanye and we’re supposed to jump on her side like, “Good for her – he’s crazy; she’s taking care of herself and the kids.” Please. I don’t think so. That family is evil and sucks the good from everyone and everything it touches. When she leaves Kanye it is officially over for Kim. 15 minutes are up. I can’t wait.

  9. serena says:

    I wouldn’t blame her.

  10. Patricia says:

    I feel so sad for them as a family. I know it’s all fake but the children are NOT fake, that’s what makes me sad. That baby boy was just born and look at the circus going on in his life.

    • HappyMom says:

      I thought the same thing. Especially watching North at the ridiculousness mess of his fashion show-what a circus.

  11. paolanqar says:

    Kris will never let go of her 10%.
    Kim can sleep tight at night. I’m sure kris is now discussing the divorce with some lawyers and maybe she has already picked Kim’s husband number 4.
    Kanye will be left with nothing but his dignity.
    Oh… nevermind.

    • dAsh says:

      This. They way they have been releasing informations lately, it seems like they are giving hints about an upcoming divorce. They have gotten everything they can squeeze out of Kanye like Kim getting a Vogue cover and babies which she can pimp for life, making Kendall a supermodel (which would never happen if it wasn’t for Kanye) and getting front row access for fashion shows. The Klan makes more money than Kanye at this point and they’re more profitable so I don’t think they need Kanye anymore. Didn’t Kylie signed a million dollar deal with Puma even if it’s against Kanye’s? It seems like they already have an exit plan so they are not worried about Kanye falling apart.

  12. HH says:

    No matter odd, rebellious, average, vintage, stylish, etc one’s regular clothes are, their workout gear always looks basic. Workout clothes are the great equalizer.

  13. Moxie Remon says:

    I find their relationship very odd, though I understand that there are many variations of what a healthy, familiar life should be. I mean, the thought of them being scared or not wanting to fully live together as a traditional family it’s okay, but I read that he had to see if he had the time to do a few things with his own family, so it’s really weird. Most normal family don’t operate like this and I believe she ends up getting the hard job and he gets the fun bits.

    • Snowflake says:

      The nannies get the hard part for sure. Wonder how many she added on with the addition of Saint? She doesn’t do anything.

    • Josephine says:

      I don’t think she does any hard work at all. She doesn’t strike me as someone who lifts a finger unless it is to take a selfie. She doesn’t seem to have any connection to that child.

  14. Mimz says:

    Split/Divorce announcement coming soon… I can smell it.
    Kris is working overtime to put her daughter on the safe side… and she probably wouldn’t have to work that hard when her son in law is a raging child, tweeting nonsensical stuff. Who knows if he’s really in debt or if he’s just doing it for PR? I don’t know.
    Also, in the past week, I don’t know if that is newsworthy, Kanye’s team is blocking youtube accounts with his old show videos, which were ALLOWED by his team back then (2004, 2006/8) AND the people who filmed and posted those videos were personally invited by him, just to end up with their accounts closed, some with no warning.
    One of them was Necole Kane (formerly known as Necole Bitchie).

    https://twitter.com/iamnecole/status/700042600879796225

    https://twitter.com/iamnecole/status/700043025381130241

    Making people lose their followers, their own personal videos that have nothing to do with him with no warning, that’s low.

    • Christin says:

      That sounds ridiculous. Those individuals were likely getting an income stream from those accounts, right?

      • JaneS says:

        They were videos these individuals had recorded themselves on their own cameras, with the approval of Kanye’s team.

    • Ennie says:

      check this image, it was a copyright infringement notice for a 12 yr old video of West to another YT channel.
      https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CbcdTz4XEAAgcsj.jpg:large

    • Mimz says:

      What bothers me is especially the ones I saw, bloggers, etc who have tons of other important videos on their youtube, like Necole (yes I like her a lot so it really bothered me), got their accounts terminated without the copyright infringement notices, the 3 strikes, etc. Just like that your work disappears because Kanye wants his stuff off the internet. Couldn’t they ask for the videos removal first?

    • Jwoolman says:

      Why would they do this? How does it benefit Kanye to make such a move?

  15. TippyToes says:

    Countdown to separation has begun.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Yep. Hints of craziness, check. Everyone jockeying for the victim position, check. Kim doing good deeds and looking sane by comparison, check. It’s coming.

      • Christin says:

        If the rest of the world can see the writing on the wall, why can’t he? That’s the part I cannot understand. The playbook has been used before.

      • paolanqar says:

        Christin i think the problem here is that Kanye feels like he’s in charge of the K family.

    • Almond shake says:

      I think he really pi$$ed Mama K off with the Kylie+Puma thing as well. He probably broke some rule they had in place about not damaging other family members’ “careers.”

    • stou says:

      Nailed it! He thinks he’s the protector of the family and such, and is probably so blinded by his ego that he does’nt see who really hold the strings.
      About kymie i think their endless renovations are an excuse to be able to stay by PMK’S home without being labeled as weird couple.
      But mostly because they don’t want to live just together and kim does’nt want to leave the security/comfort/facilities/company of the nest, and frankly those times, i can’t blame her! And Kanye is very often elsewhere (Butt-playing with Ricardo maybe lolz), he’s been in France for the most of her pregnancy, so I would too stay by my mum in these conditions.
      i’m deviating but i’m all for the living together with family, especcially when there are very big homes, it’s just stupid and waste to have others houses. Except for family with troubeled or poisonous relationship obviously.

  16. Nikki says:

    EVERY woman, no matter how happily attached or how privileged, needs to know how she would financially stand on her own two feet (and take care of her kids) if her partner disappeared for any reason. My mom DRUMMED this into me, and I appreciate it very much. Even if you’re a homemaker, KNOW your finances and your insurance coverage, and try to keep your job skills and contacts updated occasionally.

    • Christin says:

      My parents (particularly my father) drilled this into me as well, and I am grateful for it.

    • swak says:

      Mine did in a round about way. When my dad died early (at 59) my mom had some eye opening moments. They were from the era where the man took care of the money and the woman’s name was on NOTHING – not even the house. My mom found out my dad had gotten a loan with a lien put on the house without her knowledge. Also his business only had his name on it as well as the checking account for it. Took her some time to get it all straightened out.

    • Kitten says:

      I so agree. My mom was a stay-at-home mother and she knows NOTHING about my parents finances. She would have no idea how to handle all the stock investments or how to pay bills online, etc etc if he were to pass away.
      I’m pissed at my father for never taking the time to educate her about this as she has asked him over and over again to be included in his financial decisions.

      This is the kind of crap that keeps me up at night. Sigh.

      • Christin says:

        Would be agree to make a list and tell you where to locate it, should something happen?

        One thing I have learned the past year is, we cannot anticipate what can happen in a day. I am thankful my father went over everything with me and my mother. He told me several times that I needed to be aware and help my mother if something happened. He had a master list and very neat files. The list helped me know what was active and needed attention after he passed very suddenly.

      • Kitten says:

        That’s a great suggestion, Christin. I’ll be seeing him on Saturday so I’ll mention it.

        I’m very sorry for your loss but I really admire your father for caring enough to simplify things and keep you and your mom in the loop. It’s the right thing to do, you know?

      • Christin says:

        Thanks, Kitten. Both my parents passed rather unexpectedly within months of each other, so having the information readily available was very important. It made a difficult situation easier.

        Hopefully your Dad will give you a rundown, or at least be willing to list it in a place you can access, if needed.

        I would also encourage everyone with a healthcare directive (living will) document to keep a copy readily available, too. If your parents have one, know where it is and if all the appropriate parties (local EMS, hospital, etc.) have a copy. My Dad moved his copies to a briefcase, and the extra five minutes it took to find it for EMS seemed an eternity.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      So true. My mother is a homemaker, but she has always paid the bills and been in charge of finances. She and my father do the investments together. He told me once that his reasons were “she’s smarter than I am” and that his own mother had no clue what to do when she lost her husband at a very young age.

      • swak says:

        Had I not kept track of things while I was married we would have been in so much financial trouble it wouldn’t have been funny. My daughters are the same way. They are very involved with the finances in their marriages.

      • Janis says:

        Same for my parents, GNAT. They are a true team, partners in everything. I’m so proud of them – first generation Canadians, living very comfortably and still in love after 52 years together. Kim and Kanye deserve each other.

      • Christin says:

        My mother handled the bills and kept the checking account balanced to the penny, while Dad handled other financial aspects (but never kept her in the dark).

        I have seen widows who had no idea how to pay a bill or maintain a checking account.

    • lucy2 says:

      So agree about the finances. During a divorce a friend discovered that her ex had done all kinds of nonsense with their mortgage, another loan, credit card debt, etc. She never was involved in the financial decisions and let him handle all of it, and then later found herself with a huge mess that she was equally responsible for.

    • anon33 says:

      They can start by not relying on men in the first place…I know I never have, and I never would. Hubs and I have separate checking accounts, a combined account we pay bills (equally) out of, and a combined savings account that we contribute to (equally.) I am also the breadwinner. Get this, My FIL “suggested” that my name be kept off the deed to our house, because my credit was a half point lower than my husband’s, which made our payment maybe 25 dollars higher…to which I said, which one of us could make the ENTIRE MONTHLY mortgage payment on their own? Certainly not my husband. Why the hell should my name not be on there?!?! Ridiculous.

      • Kitten says:

        I know you weren’t replying to me but….

        What about my father relying on my mother to essentially raise us? It’s not like she was sitting at home eating bon-bons all day. She didn’t work because someone had to take care of us and they couldn’t afford day care. It was HIS fault for hiding the financial stuff from her, brushing her off like she didn’t need to be concerned about it even when she pestered him.

        It’s not always as simple as you make it sound here.

        That being said, after watching my mother I would NEVER allow myself to be financially dependent on a man. But I’m 37, child-free, and have lived on my own for the past 20 years so it’s easier for me to make that decision. My mom was a 22-year-old French au pair when she met my father and married him a month later. Hers was just a very different experience than mine.

        I do like the way you handle things though. Separate checking accounts would be a must for me.

      • Nikki says:

        Christin, , I just had to say I’m so sorry for your losses. I can’t imagine losing both parents so close to each other. And Kitten, best wishes.

  17. crab says:

    Does anyone get the feeling that if Kim left Kanye he would totally flip out (even worse than he is now) and be a stage 4 stalker?

    • NewWester says:

      Yes
      He will not take the end of his marriage well.

      • Betti says:

        Yes and the Klan will make sure it’s played out in front of the worlds press and they are making money off it.

      • Kate says:

        No he will not and it sounds like the K Klan is banking on him losing it completely so that Kim comes out looking like the sympathetic character rather than the valid woman who has now married and divorced 3 times

    • Kitten says:

      I’m just imagining what kind of terrible sh*t he’d say about her.

    • Gardenia says:

      Yeah. I’m worried about his reaction when Kim finally walks. I feel pretty bad for him, even though he’s a jerk. He seems unwell mentally and profoundly unhappy. I think he’s been lost and lonely since his mother passed away. If/when he loses his new family, it’s going to be terrible for him. The worst of it is I don’t think he’s going to see it coming at all. We can all see the writing on the wall, but he can’t. It’s going to be an awful shock for him.

    • me says:

      Maybe she’d see him more then!

    • Almond shake says:

      I agree. He’s totally crazy about her (and her fame). But Kris would just think all this as a great storyline to have on the show, even while she’s working to make sure Kim’s money, and as a second priority, the grandkids, are out of the reach of Kanye’s craziness.

  18. Tiffany27 says:

    I’m giving it 2 more years tops. Kim is slowly prepping to walk.

    • Kate says:

      That’s generous. I give it 6 months.

    • Christin says:

      At the rate this is going, I am thinking three months (before summer).

    • Jwoolman says:

      It will depend on when he loses connections that benefit them. If Kim stops getting invites and covers due to his influence and Kendall becomes no more interesting that the average nice looking young woman to the designers – then Kim will race to the courthouse. They will become especially desperate if their paid apps don’t bring in enough subscription income, since that will be a clear sign of waning interest in all things Kardashian. Unless they buy subscriptions to their apps like they buy Twitter followers and books/magazines. Kim’s edition of that video game may have a short lifetime also so she should save her profits. There are others now featuring younger celebrities like Demi Lovato. I saw one that is set up to easily plug in new celebrities and stories frequently and in parallel. Gamers can get bored and move on to new games.

  19. platypus says:

    Ugh, I feel like I’m watching a trainwreck. Kim and PMK are going to milk his breakdown for all it’s worth until the sympathy meter is maxed out, and he will go completely off the rails when she walks. His ego could not possibly handle that. This is not a man I GAF about, but genuinely scared for him…

    • Gardenia says:

      Yeah, I hope he’s got a support system, friends who will be there to help him when Kim walks. It’s going to be awful.

    • Lex says:

      Woah can you imagine the rants he’ll come out with when they split.
      He was all about Amber while it was happening but afterwards he was name-calling like nobody’s business!

      I imagine there are a few skeletons there we don’t know about. Love it.

  20. gillian says:

    And so the seeds of an ending are planted….. surprise, surprise, surprise!

  21. Tiffany says:

    The thing is, money will have to exchange hands and isn’t money earned potential community property. If that’s the case, be prepared for a marriage was never legal story.

    • swak says:

      Thought they got married in LA before the wedding in France or where ever. Also, if they have a prenup then that will be enforced unless someone disputes it. Also think that his debt obtained in the marriage is also her debt. I had student loans for our children in my name that my ex has to pay on as part of the divorce agreement.

      I’m sure they haven’t clocked 10 years yet, so the prenup conditions will still hold strong. If it’s over 10 years, isn’t it just half and half?

  22. Kitten says:

    “but I do hope she comes out for an Oscars party two weekends from now”

    Why?
    Oh, you mean so we can make fun of her outfit?
    Ok yeah that’s always fun.

    • ldub says:

      I literally LOL’d at this comment.

    • Shambles says:

      And yet here she looks completely normal, and no one has said anything. We’re not going to give her any credit for dressing like an actual human being? Funny how different she looks when Kanye isn’t making her dress and style herself a certain way.

  23. kri says:

    That is the most reasonable outfit I have seen her in this age. And look…running shoes. They will be putting all his shit in a box to the left anytime now.

  24. Skins says:

    I have a feeling that the rats will be deserting the sinking ship very soon

  25. Snowflake says:

    “Kim’s not a spendthrift ” hahHhhhhaaaaaaaaaa. Bwah hahaha:-) 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

  26. Rhiley says:

    Girl looks like she raided Jennifer Garner’s shoe closet.

  27. Josefina says:

    Am I a horrible person for looking forward to this? I’m no fan of the Kardashians but if they’ll be the ones who’ll take on the role of destroying Kanye’s ego bit by bit, I’m all for it.

  28. HK9 says:

    Wow. Look at her prepping us for the divorce. Kanye has no idea does he? This is going to be epic.

  29. My Two Cents says:

    This marriage was ending the day of the wedding. These two have never acted in love in public. Kim needed a boost up on the social scene and at that time he could provide it. He is no longer useful to the K brand. I guess he thought she and family would be his full time models for his fashion (yikes). Everything in between is just tabloid fodder.

    • minx says:

      I’ve mentioned it before, but that picture of their first kiss at their wedding said it all. He stood completely upright, not leaning in to her at all. No connection.

      • HappyMom says:

        Especially weird when you compare pictures of him with Amber Rose-he is radiating happiness and just staring at her adoringly. Totally different vibe.

      • FingerBinger says:

        Kanye’s not in love with Kim. He fell in love with the idea of her. He only talks about her looks and that she’s influential.

      • Almond shake says:

        I think he’s crazy about Kim, but that comes with her fame too, and a sense that he’s made it fame-wise. He rarely smiles these days because it’s “not cool.” With Amber he was more himself and not trying to project a trash-reality-TV-royalty vibe.

  30. Mar says:

    Kim’s face is ruined. She barely has a nose

    • fiona says:

      She used to have the most beautiful face because of her old nose. She hasn’t even aged terribly, she just ruined her face with a nose job and changing her eyebrows too much. She looks like her mother now.

  31. MsAubra says:

    I know that’s right! I find nothing wrong with a woman who doesn’t want to work outside the home and her husband is the breadwinner. However, in this day and age where we have the choice to do one or both, women need to maintain their finances for themselves and be more than just ‘ok’ if they’re ever no longer a Mrs. There are too many opportunities out here to just let money sit around and not stack it for yourself and have your own

    • Miss Jupitero says:

      I have no problem with women deciding to be SAHMs, etc. But it is still a partnership and has to be treated as such, no matter where the money comes from. There should be total clarity and understanding both sides. I do not understand willful ignorance.

      Also, as the saying goes, if you aren’t at the table, you are likely to end up on the menu. divorce happens. Death happens. Don’t be an idiot.

  32. Miss Jupitero says:

    Split coming soon, according to my Magic 8-Ball.

    Meanwhile, good for her for thinking about her finances. I know a number of women who don’t, including my sister-in-law, and it makes me want to pound my head on the wall.

  33. JRenee says:

    This would be epic. Maybe Kanye is pulling tricks and setting something up with the rants and I’m down $53M. ..

  34. holly hobby says:

    And the escape plan has hatched….

  35. me says:

    Kanye keeps saying he has to earn money for his family. I truly believe that Kim doesn’t spend a dime of her money and instead Kanye is funding their lifesyle. They have also been living for free with PMK for years.

  36. Riemc526 says:

    Is the end near???

    ETA: I know it’s probably not bc they all thrive off the attention and this is making them bank right now but one can hope… I just want the all to fade into oblivion.

  37. SKF says:

    You should always be able to support yourself if things go south

  38. PaulY says:

    Good for her! Having 2 sisters myself, I wish for all women to experience the same sense of freedom and independence.

  39. Babsie says:

    Off topic, but is it wrong for me to say She looks better here than she has in weeks? Maybe because she’s not trying so hard?

    And yeah, totally laying the groundwork for sympathy if she walks. (But smart of her to keep her assets separate and pay attention to her money.)

  40. Miran says:

    There is no way she had injections if these are immediately post photos. Youd be able to see it, trust me. I see it every day.

  41. SM says:

    More like for WHEN things go south. It is a twisted world we live in when someone with no talent and nobreal profession can make a fortune just by being famous

  42. Lizzieb says:

    I thought this guy in France was his boyfriend.

  43. Jwoolman says:

    Kim actually looks pretty good in these pics. She also has reasons other than Botox and lip fillers to visit a dermatologist (wouldn’t she have done that before the NYC trip?). I’ve heard she has facial skin problems (maybe self-consciousness about that is why she trowels on the makeup?) and she also has psoriasis. I assume a dermatologist would be her specialist for both skin conditions.

    Of course she has separate money. With the kind of money she and Kanye had, it would be foolish to just pool it together. Sharing the money is really more appropriate for people who are partners at a much lower income level, especially if one person gets an outside paycheck while the other manages the household and kids. That paycheck is really for both of them. Folks who have gobs of money coming in separately can just pay their share of joint expenses.

  44. Abbess Tansy says:

    Ok she’s somewhat repaired her image after her last disastrous marriage. She has 2 kids and sufficient funds. Now she can begin the work to dump Kanye by the end of the summer.
    Tick tock countdown to divorce drama and more material for the show.
