Is Kanye West Married?
He has been married twice — first to Kim Kardashian , from 2014 until 2022. The Skims founder previously opened up about their divorce in an episode of The Kardashians, where she said, according to People, “When you don’t foresee something happening that really changes a person’s personality and then they’re not the same person and you can’t ever get that person back, but you can’t live with the new person. I get it.”
She added, “It’s tougher when you don’t want your marriage to end off of personal reasons but circumstances change that force your marriage to end…When you weren’t planning on that and that’s not really the outcome you want but there’s no other option, I think it makes it harder to get over.”
Kim continued, “I very much desire to be divorced. I have asked Kanye to keep our divorce private, but he has not done so. Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private family matters and co-parenting on social media which has created emotional distress.”
Ye eventually married Bianca in 2022, and their relationship has had its ups and downs.
