Even without knowing the man, one could be forgiven for feeling alarmed by the increasingly erratic Kanye West and the ongoing acts of self-sabotage that have served to undermine his once flourishing career. 

But for Kim Kardashian – whose eight-year marriage to the rapper, producer and entrepreneur came to an end in 2022 – the controversy that continues to dog her ex-husband has provided a valuable lesson in self-preservation. 

Speaking to Vogue Italia, the 42-year old insists the responsibility of motherhood – Kardashian shares four young children with West – has taught her to emotionally distance herself in an attempt to provide her growing family with as stable an upbringing as possible. 

She said: ‘If it’s something concerning my kids’ dad and I’m upset, I try not to show as much emotion. I have to be ready to explain why I’m upset and it might not be appropriate for them to know. 

‘There’s nothing worse than “You’ll understand when you’re older”. I don’t want to be that person. But if I’m upset about other things that they can understand, I absolutely will show emotion and cry.’
