In love with Kim Kardashian for many years, Ye had managed to seduce her in 2012. Their love affair materialized the following year, in 2013, with the birth of their eldest daughter, North. They were then engaged on October 20, 2013, Kim’s birthday, then married on May 24, 2014 in Florence, Italy. The couple then welcomed their second, third and fourth children, Saint, Chicago and Psalm (6, 3 and 2), the last two thanks to two surrogate mothers. The large family apparently lived in harmony.

“The only thing I think about is how to reunite my family and how to heal the pain I have caused“Ye explains in a shared prayer for Thanksgiving last November.

“I suffered a bipolar episode (…) and they imposed heavy medical treatment on me. I have since stopped and then resumed this treatment, which exposed me to new bipolar episodes, which my wife, family and fans had to endure.Kanye recalls. He continues with a reference to former United States President Donald Trump, whom he had publicly approached: “My God, my wife hated that I was wearing that red cap. I made me and my family a target by refusing to align with Hollywood’s political stance, and it was tough on our marriage. Then I was a candidate for the presidential election, without a good preparation and without an ally in each camp [républicain et démocrate, NDLR]. During the first and only press conference, I embarrassed my wife by publicly mentioning information about my family“.
This info was about their eldest daughter, North. During his meeting, Kanye revealed that he and Kim Kardashian had considered terminating the pregnancy. By remembering this desire for an abortion, Ye justified his anti-abortion stance.
Following these statements, Kanye publicly accuses his wife of having cheated on him with another rapper, Meek Mill, and of scheming with his family to intern him. He barricades himself at his ranch in Cody, Wyoming, and cuts off all contact with his wife and in-laws. Kim Kardashian will eventually go to Cody and confront her husband, with whom she will have a very emotional discussion.

Kim was one of the most coveted single women on the planet. Rappers, actors, athletes, entrepreneurs and royals have activated their networks to get closer to her. The superstar ended up falling for the comedian Pete Davidson, whom she met on the show Saturday Night Live.
It was then that Kanye West backtracked and decided to do everything in his power to win back his wife. He and Kim officially saw each other again on November 30 in Miami, the date of Louis Vuitton’s “Virgil Was Here” parade in tribute to its artistic director Virgil Abloh, who died two days earlier.
Kim and Kanye then attended the funeral of Ye’s former protégé, who suffered from a rare form of cancer.
