Behind the scenes details of Kim Kardashian’s marriage breakdown with rapper Kanye West have been revealed in the last episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

In February, the reality star filed for divorce from West, who she married in 2014 and has four children with, citing irreconcilable differences.

The pair were rumoured to be experiencing difficulties in their relationship last year when West made an unsuccessful bid to become president of the United States.

In the latest episode of the family’s reality TV show, which aired on Thursday, Kim, 40, opened up about the couple’s difficulties with Kanye living on a ranch in Wyoming while she remained in California.

She said: “Kanye’s been in Wyoming and he’s been posting a lot of things on social media.

“That is a little bit frustrating, but you just have to kind of separate yourself from what’s going on at home and what’s going on on the internet.”

She said: “I am happy to come tomorrow, I am happy to come next week, whenever he wants.

Sister Kourtney said “she can’t possibly navigate this on her own”, while her mother Kris Jenner said Kim was “struggling”.
