Whilst refreshing viral feta recipes in my feed and muting Meghan Markle trolls, my mind turns to Kim Kardashian. After seven years of marriage (were we ever so young?), she filed for divorce from Kanye West last week. The initial report that Kim Kardashian West was dropping the West was immediately overshadowed by the zoo of men dressed as Viking fertility art storming Capitol Hill, the announcement felt like a fever dream. But the divorce is imminent, and it was Kanye’s erratic presidential bid that allegedly tipped the marriage balance from manageable to divorce-able.
It’s never nice when couples break up, and like Daft Punk, we are witnessing the demolition of a creative powerhouse. We never know the true interior worlds of the celebrities we follow like deities; we can see their breakfasts, but can we ever truly know their thoughts? Kim and Kanye always seemed so right for each other, each marveling at the other and enamored with what they saw.
