Kim Kardashian opens up about her divorce from Kanye West and the 'changes' she made that may have caused their split: 'I've chosen myself'

• Kim Kardashian West said that she's prioritizing herself and her own happiness in her 40s.
• She told Vogue that this may have factored into her divorce from Ye, formerly Kanye West.

Kim Kardashian West told Vogue in a new interview for the magazine's March cover that in the past two years, she's decided to focus on her own happiness "even if that created changes" and caused her divorce from rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.

Kardashian West, 41, filed from divorce from Ye in February 2021 after seven years of marriage. In December 2021, her lawyers asked California judges to make her "legally single," a measure that would restore her birth surname and single status.

Kardashian West told Vogue that in her 40s, she's focusing on herself and suggested that it contributed to their split.

"For so long, I did what made other people happy," Kardashian West told Vogue. "And I think in the last two years I decided, I'm going to make myself happy."

She continued: "And that feels really good. And even if that created changes and caused my divorce, I think it's important to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy."

Kardashian West told Vogue that her "40s are about being Team Me," and that she would focus on exercise, healthy eating, having fun, spending time with friends and family, and putting her phone down.

Ye appeared to indirectly respond to his ex's Vogue interview, posting photos of Kardashian West with the pair's four children North, Saint, Psalm, and Chicago from her cover story. He recently deleted all of his Instagram posts about Kardashian West and their children after publicly arguing about North's presence on TikTok, where she shares an account with her mother.

"GOD PLEASE BRING OUR FAMILY BACK TOGETHER," Ye wrote in the caption of the post.

Before her Vogue interview was published, Kardashian West had responded to Ye's comments over North's TikTok, saying that his "constant attacks" on her were "more hurtful than any TikTok North West might create."
