Even before his headline grabbing behavior of the last few years, Kanye West has always been an enigmatic figure. We imagine co-parenting with him can be a challenge at times. According to PEOPLE, it may be even more difficult than we thought for his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

The outlet’s sources say that the TV personality “is pretty much a single mom” to the former couple’s four children, 11-year-old daughter North, 8-year-old son Saint, 6-year-old daughter Chicago and 5-year-old son Psalm. Apparently, Ye is “not around very much.”

The reality TV star/fashion mogul “has help,” but the source explains that she’s basically “all about work and the kids.” Kardashian “is not even dating anyone now.”

“Kim’s life is around her kids’ schedules. When they are in school, she works. When they are off, she’s very much focused on being a mom,” the source told PEOPLE.

As previously reported by The Root, West and Kardashian finalized their divorce in 2022. Their contentious split made headlines, beginning his cycle of increasingly erratic behavior and statements. Recently, he’s been the target of lawsuits by former employees, as well as internet rumors that his current marriage to Bianca Censori is in trouble.

It’s worth noting that this is all coming from “a source close to the reality star,” so if it’s a friend of Kardashian who’s revealing this personal news, it’s likely going to be a little biased.

We don’t know what the real relationship is like between West and his children, but it must be emotionally exhausting for the entire family to see his many controversies constantly play out in front of the whole world.
