Kim Kardashian has admitted she’ll love Kanye West “for life” amid their divorce.
The reality star filed to divorce her husband on February 19, after almost seven years of marriage.
The rapper turned 44 on Tuesday, and his ex-wife marked the occasion by posting a sweet tribute to him on Instagram.

Alongside a photo of her and Kanye with three of their children, Kim wrote: “Happy Birthday. Love U for Life! 🎈”
One fan commented on the post: “Aww this made me sad. I loved you guys together ❤️”.
A second wrote: “We want kimye back😢😢😍😍”, while a third penned: “I hope they get back together ❤️”.
The former couple are requesting joint legal and physical custody of their four children – North, 7, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2.
Fans feared the couple were headed for a divorce last July, when Kanye spoke about almost aborting their daughter North during a presidential campaign rally in South Carolina.
Kanye said: “Even if my wife wants to divorce me after this speech, she brought North into the world even when I didn’t want to. She stood up and she protected that child.”
At the time, sources claimed Kim was “furious” that Kanye had “shared something so private.”
After the rally, the Yeezy founder posted a number of shocking statements on Twitter, and he even accused Kim of trying to get him “locked up”.
The rapper also claimed he’s been “trying to get divorced” from Kim ever since she met Meek Mill back in 2018 to discuss prison reform, and he also appeared to slam his mother-in-law Kris Jenner.
Kanye later deleted the tweets, and a few hours later Kim released a statement addressing her husband’s behaviour.
In the statement, the reality star opened up about her husband’s mental health – explaining how “incredibly complicated and painful” it can be to struggle with bipolar disorder.
The mother-of-four also asked the public to show their family “compassion” during such a difficult time.
Days later, Kanye posted a public apology to Kim on Twitter.
The couple then put on a united front by taking their kids on a “make or break” trip to the Dominican Republic.
But since then, their relationship has deteriorated, and Kim finally decided to file for divorce on February 19, 2021.
Kim and Kanye tied the knot back in 2014, and the couple share four kids – North, 7, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2.
