Kim and Kanye may have four children, but their eldest daughter North apparently likes to think she's the only one.
The couple married when their firstborn child North was just under a year old. After welcoming three more children into their lives, the couple ultimately separated and filed for divorce in 2021.

Kim Kardashian hasn't always been a fan of Kanye West's new wife, Bianca Censori.
Even with Kanye's shortcomings, this isn't to say that Kim has been perfect in the journey either. While both parents have busy professional lives, Kim was also the first of the exes to dive into a new relationship.
When she was dating Pete Davidson, Kim spent a lot of time with the comedian, and so did her kids. Pete likely had to sign an NDA while dating Kim, and he even got tattoos for his then-girlfriend, and the two got pretty serious.
After their split, however, Kim's kids were left without a consistent male figure in their lives, leading Kim to an interesting choice.

With her children, most notably her son Saint, showing some behavioral challenges, Kim knew she needed to take steps to have positive male role models in her children's lives.
Knowing that Kanye isn't always reliable with his intense schedule, frequent traveling, and life circumstances, she decided to bring a male nanny on board to make up for any shortcomings that have occurred with Kanye's frequent absences and mental health struggles that have taken place throughout the years and post-divorce.

During a recent episode of 'The Kardashians,' Kim confessed she has more fun spending time with her sons than her daughters.
Understanding that her family is primarily female-dominated and that her schedule is jam-packed, Kim Kardashian made the decision to hire a male nanny instead of another female. After all was said and done, she stated that she was scared to tell Kanye because she didn't know what his reaction would be. However, the meet and greet and subsequent encounters went very well.
When Kanye dropped the children off at Kim's house one day, she initiated an introduction between the new hire and her ex-husband. To her surprise, Kanye didn't respond negatively.
Instead, the musician and the new nanny started to engage Saint in a game of football outside on Kim's lawn, with Kanye directing the nanny not to take it too easy on his son and to make sure he doesn't make things too simple for him, referencing the nanny picking something up for Saint that he could have done himself.
During the meeting, Kanye even commented to the nanny where he referenced what he wanted the nanny to do if he was going to be a person helping him raise his son.
When the decision was made to hire a new caregiver who would primarily care for her son Saint, Kim had a lot of worry about how the child's father would handle the news. Thankfully, it would seem that Kim's fears didn't come true with the way that Kanye embraced the individual and worked alongside him to orient him to the position in a friendly manner.
Yet not everyone was happy about Kim's decision; fans dragged Kim for hiring a manny, even though Kanye was totally supportive.
