Kim Kardashian and family are ‘shielding the kids’ from the drama surrounding Kanye West‘s ongoing string of erratic behavior.
The reality star – who reunited with her husband for the first time in weeks on Monday – is trying to keep things as normal as possible for daughters North, seven, and Chicago, two-and-a-half, and sons Saint, four-and-a-half, and Psalm, 14-months.
‘She is shielding the kids. All of her family is. They’ve circled around the kids and are insulating them from all of this,’ a source told People. ‘And everyone else has decided to create an atmosphere of normalcy around them.’
Kim flew to Kanye’s Cody, Wyoming compound on Monday to speak to him. Things appeared overwhelming for the star, who was seen crying during a conversation with West.
‘She is very emotional about everything, and also exhausted,’ a source told People magazine Monday. ‘She feels very hurt by Kanye. She has tried to reach him multiple times and he just ignores her. It’s all a bad situation.’
The insider added: ‘She decided to fly to Cody to speak with him in person. She doesn’t want to be ignored anymore.’
On Sunday Kanye publicly said sorry to his wife via Twitter.
‘I would like to apologize to my wife Kim for going public with something that was a private matter. I did not cover her like she has covered me. To Kim I want to say I know I hurt you. Please forgive me. Thank you for always being there for me.’
People’s source said he understands how much he hurt his wife, telling the magazine: ‘He definitely understands that he upset Kim. He feels very bad about it. It’s obvious that he still loves Kim.’
Last week, Kim took to Instagram following Kanye’s controversial behavior, admitting that she was ‘powerless’ amid his meltdown, calling her husband ‘brilliant but complicated’.
