Who Do Kim And Kanyes Four Kids Live With Now?
From 2012 to 2021, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West seemed like an unstoppable force. The power couple had millions of fans around the world and a combined net worth of over $2 billion. But fans were shocked when it was announced that the estranged husband and wife were moving forward with a divorce.
Perhaps the most tragic aspect of any break-up is the children who have their lives turned upside down. Kim and Kanye share four children together, and details of their custody agreement were released to the press when Kim officially filed for divorce in 2021.
Since their divorce was finalized, Kim and Kanye have come to blows on social media, with the rapper lashing out at his former wife about their differing ideas on raising the children. Kanye has since admitted to Kim that he needs help, but did this affect the custody agreement? Who do Kim and Kanye’s kids live with now?
Who Are Kim Kardashian’s Kids?
Kim Kardashian has four kids with her former husband Kanye West. North West, their first daughter, was born in June 2013. The following year, Kim and Kanye tied the knot in Florence, Italy, after two years of dating.
Their second child, a son called Saint, was born in December 2015. Saint was the last child that Kim carried naturally due to health issues. She was open about her struggle with her two previous pregnancies on her family’s reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
During her pregnancy with North, Kim suffered from pre-eclampsia, also called toxemia, and with both pregnancies, she experienced placenta accreta after each delivery and required surgery. Her doctor advised her not to become pregnant again.
The couple’s third child, Chicago, was born in January 2018 via surrogate. In May 2019, Kim and Kanye welcomed their final child together, Psalm.

Does Kim Kardashian Have Custody Of Her Four Kids?
Sources reported that Kim initially sought joint custody of her four kids with Kanye. Fans have noted that indirect comments from the couple themselves seem to confirm the fact that they are sharing custody.
Page Six reports that in March 2022, Kanye shared a photo of North’s backpack, which was decorated with pins of Kim and Kanye when they were in a couple. The backpack was also adorned with an alien.
Kanye captioned the photo, “This was on my daughters [sic] back pack when I was ‘allowed’ to see her last week. This is why I go so hard for my family I am wired to protect my family at all cost As the priest of my home Don’t worry Northy God is still alive.”
Initially, fans thought that Kanye’s caption alluded to a change in the custody agreement, giving Kim full custody. But Kim herself clapped back in the comment section.
“Please stop with this narrative, you were just here this morning picking up the kids for school,” wrote the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star.
The photo has since been deleted from Kanye’s Instagram feed.
Hello confirmed that, as of April 2021, the four kids were primarily living with Kim, in Hidden Hills, California. However, they were seeing their father regularly.
Kanye is thought to visit his children on a frequent basis while splitting his time between California and his ranch in Wyoming.
Kim and the children are believed to still be living in the family’s all-white compound where Kanye once lived too. According to Hello, Kanye owns the house but Kim owns the property around the house.
North West was famously spotted at the Super Bowl in February 2022 with her father, highlighting the fact that she does see him at least occasionally.
Even though it has been reported that the couple has shared custody, fans do suspect that Kim sees her children more than Kanye does as he publicly criticized Kim for letting North use the platform TikTok without his consent.
“I told y’all before about this tik tok stuff,” Kanye captioned an Instagram post just before he posted the photo of North’s backpack (via Page Six), referencing a video in which his daughter was lip-syncing to a Machine Gun Kelly song. “Now my 8-year-old on here singing she fell in love with an emo girl Leftist don’t want fathers to have no say in our children's lives,” he continued.
