During the June 3, 2021, episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” the 42-year-old reality TV star finally opened up about her split from the 46-year-old rapper. After a confrontation with her family, her sister Khloé Kardashian revealed during a confessional: “Kim has been struggling privately behind camera about her relationship and it’s tough because Kim is clearly redirecting so much of her frustration and sadness and anger. And, you know, sometimes you just take things out on something that has nothing to do with what you’re going through.”

In previously unaired footage, Kim cried to her sisters about her marriage. “I honestly can’t do this anymore,” she said. “Why am I still in this, like, place where I’m stuck for years? Like, he goes and moves to a different state, every year, I have to be together so I can raise the kids, you know? And he’s an amazing dad, he’s done an amazing job.” She then noted that West “deserves someone that can go support his every move, and go follow him all over the place, and move to Wyoming. I can’t do that. I feel like a f*cking failure that it’s, like, a third f*cking marriage.” Kim previously married songwriter Damon Thomas and basketball player Kris Humphries. “Yeah, I feel like a f*cking loser,” she said. “But I can’t even think about that, like, I want to be happy.”

Kim further elaborated on the reason behind their split during the season finale of “KUWTK” on June 10, 2021, saying she wasn’t fully fulfilled by her marriage. “After turning 40 this year, I realized, ‘No, I don’t want a husband that lives in a completely different state.’ To me, I thought, ‘Oh my god, that’s when we’re getting along the best,’ but then that is sad to me and that’s not what I want,” she told Kris Jenner. “I want someone that we have the same shows in common; I want someone that wants to work out with me . . . it’s like the little things is what I don’t have.” Kim noted that all she wants is to be happy in the end. “I will be happy. I didn’t come this far just to come this far and not be happy,” she added, referencing a quote she saw on the internet.
