One would have thought that reality TV star, Kim Kardashian would revert to her old name after filing for divorce from her husband Kanye West but that is not the case.
The 40-year-old has reportedly decided to keep West in her name for the sake of their kids according to a report by Daily Mail.
Kim and Kanye, 44, share four children together – North, 8, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2 – and it’s said to be important that the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star shares their name.
Despite going their separate ways in February, Kim has continued to support her rapper ex as he launches his new music for the first time in two years. Kim and the kids have been present at all of Kanye West’s Donda album listening parties to date.
The pair according to a report by Daily Mirror are keen to maintain a healthy co-parenting relationship. “Kim has been supporting Kanye and they are getting along,”
While Kim may be intent on keeping her name the same, the musician has reportedly opted to legally change his first name. The star asked his lawyer to file a petition for him to change his birth name from Kanye Omari West to just “Ye”.
It is reported Kanye wants his name change due to “personal reasons” and didn’t appear to give any other details about his decision. However, while she is keeping her name, Kim sparked rumours of a change in appearance recently.
Kardashian began dating rapper and longtime friend Kanye West in April 2012, while still legally married to Humphries. Her divorce was finalized on June 3, 2013, Kardashian and West became engaged on October 21, Kardashian’s 33rd birthday, and married on May 24, 2014, at Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy.
