Kim and Kanye saw each other, more married. The start of 2021 seems to be the death knell for this monument couple: according to multiple sources cited by the Page Six and People websites, “Their divorce would be imminent”.
Kim Kardashian has reportedly hired celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser who was already in charge of her previous split from basketball player Kris Humphries. Kanye West would wait quietly at his Wyoming ranch. “This divorce is happening now, because Kim has grown a lot, can we read on the US sites.

Courage, because it risks squatting the media and networks for days, even weeks. Why this fixette?
For memes
When you want to react as a gif to a Facebook or Twitter comment, there is a good chance that the platforms will offer you the face of Kim or Kanye. The couple are a real gimmick machine, from the smile that ends in the rapper's scowl to that of the entrepreneur hiding behind a fern. One of the best memes of the past decade? KKW in PLS, when she realizes her marriage to Kris Humphries will end after just 72 days. Imagine the sequences that we may be entitled to after a romance of four years …
For the reality check
They are so rich that they can afford a birthday party on a desert island in the middle of a global pandemic. They are beautiful and the marriage of their genes has given birth to a family of four children, each one more adorable than the others (North, 7 years old, Saint, 5 years old, Chicago, 3 years old, and Psalm, 19 months old) . They are talented: prodigal rapper for him, to whom we owe pearls like 808s & Heartbreak and The Life of Pablo, ultra-influential entrepreneur for her. And yet … If this probable divorce interests us so much, it is because it is a healthy reminder: to be sitting on a mountain of privileges is good, but it is not a guarantee for love. Something to reassure us about our admittedly confined and lonely daily life, but ultimately not much more trivial than that of the kings and queens of the world.

For culture
Whatever you think of pop and its cardboard icons, they remain a magnifying and exciting mirror of reality. Here, Kanye West, withdrawn to his ranch where he tries to cope with his mental illness issues and his flop in a particularly lunar presidential election – between him and Donald Trump, there were still two candidates for the post of head of the globe who participated in reality TV shows. Could we do more 2020? There, Kim K., who must take the responsibility, like so many women, to end a marriage that leaves in blood sausage, and will find herself a single mother. Of course, money, power, and access to the best highlighters in the world should help make it happen, but pop once again combines spectacular entertainment with feelings so simply human, as only she can.
