Kim Kardashian Speaks Out: “It’s Probably Been Months” Since Kanye West Saw Their Kids
In a rare and frank appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kim Kardashian has opened up about her growing concerns around the relationship between her children and her ex-husband, Kanye West. At age 45, Kardashian revealed that, for months, the four children she shares with Kanye—North (12), Saint (9), Chicago (7), and Psalm (6)—had had little contact with their father.
“It’s probably been a couple months since we’ve heard from him,” Kim Kardashian said, adding that when the children ask for their father, she tells them he has to travel for work. While she affirmed that the children live with her full time, she stressed that she still wants them to have a “great, healthy” relationship with their father—but the reality has been far more complicated.
Parenting, Protection & Public Pressure
Known for carefully managing her public image, Kim Kardashian’s decision to speak so openly about Kanye West’s role in their family speaks volumes. She directly rejected the narrative Kanye West has publicly offered—that he is being kept from the kids—and instead portrayed the situation as “waves and phases,” in which she simultaneously encourages visits and protects the children when she judges the timing to be off.
Kardashian emphasized that parenting through separation requires balancing openness with protection. “I push for it all the time,” she said, but “I also protect [the kids] when it’s time for that.” The shifting nature of interactions—“it goes in waves and phases”—points to a deeper dynamic than mere physical absence.
Kanye West, now 48, made headlines earlier this year after publicly saying he’d been diagnosed with autism following a misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder in 2024. While mental-health concerns have been cited as part of the background to this parental reality, Kardashian made it clear that, regardless of personal hurdles, the children’s emotional and relational stability remains her priority.

The Stakes for the Kids
For North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm, the absence of a consistent presence from their father isn’t just a tabloid storyline—it’s real life. The message from their mother is unmistakable: “Your father loves you, but you deserve stability, you deserve presence.”
Kardashian’s disclosure indicates that this is more than private family drama—it is a call for accountability. By “hoping” that Kanye West will recognise “what he’s missing out on before it’s too late,” she has placed the family’s future dynamic into the public realm.
As Kim Kardashian uses her platform to bring attention to her children’s needs, the world watches a highly public figure make a deeply personal plea. It’s not just about social-media headlines any more—it is about the emotional fabric of four young lives and the father they share.
In the end, this isn’t just about celebrity. It’s about parenting, presence and the promise of connection. And in this case, Kim Kardashian is telling the world that the kids are waiting—and so is she.
