Kim Kardashian said that she keeps news about Kanye West from their four shared children.

She said that she wants to “protect’ them from news and controversy around her ex-husband.

Kardashian said that she’ll be “prepared” to have conversations with her kids when they’re older.

Kim Kardashian said that she keeps news about her ex-husband Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, away from their four children, and will do her best to protect him in their eyes.

Appearing on radio host Angie Martinez’s podcast “In Real Life” in an episode released on Monday, Kardashian said that she will “protect” her children from news and controversy around Ye for as long as she can.

“In my home, my kids don’t know anything that goes on in the outside world,” Kardashian told Martinez. “I’m holding on by a thread. I know I’m like so close to that not happening, but while it’s still that way, I will protect that to the end of the earth as long as I can.”

Kardashian and Ye share four children: North, 9, Saint, 7, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3. Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021, and their split was legally settled in November with Ye owing Kardashian $200,000 per month in child support.

In recent months, Ye has been the subject of a number of negative headlines after making antisemitic statements on Twitter, insulting a Vogue editor who criticized him for wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt, and praising Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Kardashian appeared to denounce his antisemitic comments without directly addressing Ye on social media, saying in a statement that she stood with the Jewish community.

Kardashian said that she protects her children by keeping an eye on the TV and news in their home “when stuff’s going down” with Ye, in addition to monitoring the conversations that her kids have at school through their teachers. Furthermore, none of her children are on social media, she said, with the exception of North West who can only access her TikTok account through her mother’s phone.

Ultimately, Kardashian said, she wants to help her children have the same positive experience and memories that she had with her father, Robert Kardashian.

“If they don’t know things that are being said, or what’s happening in the world, why would I ever bring that energy to them?” Kardashian said. “That’s like real heavy, heavy grown-up shit that they’re not ready to like, deal with, you know? And when they are, we’ll have those conversations, and I’ll be so prepared. But until then, I’ll do anything to keep their life as normal as possible.”
