Despite Kanye West's very public posts against Kim Kardashian and the fact that they're dating other people, a source tells Entertainment Tonightthat West is still hoping for reconciliation between the two.
“Kanye still has hope that him and Kim will get back together and he has been telling his close friends that they will,” a source said. “Kanye has been lashing out on social media because he is really hurt. He misses his kids and wants what is best for his family. Everything he has been doing has been coming from a place of feeling deeply hurt and detached from the people he loves the most in the world.”
That source added that “all Kanye cares about is that his family is good, taken care of and happy. He has been showing it in the wrong way, but that's all that matters to him. This is his way of fighting to get his family back.”
Kardashian hasn't been charmed by it though. For the first time last week, she released a public statement after West posted about their daughter North West being on TikTok against his will. Kardashian and North have a joint account. She wrote:
Kanye’s constant attacks on me in interviews and on social media is actually more hurtful than any TikTok North might create. As the parent who is the main provider and caregiver for our children, I am doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision—because it brings her happiness. Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye’s obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all. From the beginning I have wanted nothing but a healthy and supportive co-parenting relationship because it is what is best for our children and it saddens me that Kanye continues to make it impossible every step of the way.I wish to handle all matters regarding our children privately and hopefully he can finally respond to the third attorney he has had in the last year to resolve any issues amicably.
