12 signs that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West might not last

Keeping up with Hollywood's biggest family is hard work. As Kim Kardashian climbs the royalty ranks, she's now the most talked-about woman in Hollywood. Wherever she goes, so does her brood. While the sisterly love on the TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians is strong (as is the E! $150 million contract the family signed to continue airing), Kim's marriage to the rapper, Kanye West, is proving to be less steady. The two may be photographed hand-in-hand with smiles on their faces, but everyone knows that Hollywood marriages have a short shelf-life. This family is insanely rich. In 2016, Kim famously tweeted that she was "transferring $53 million" into her and Kanye's joint account. Considering those were one-year earnings from her Kim Kardashian Hollywood game, that's some income. Kim can earn up to $500,000 per sponsored Instagram post, and the initial stock of her KKW Beauty line sold out in just three minutes. Kim's horizons aren't set on millions, they're set on billions . She's super-savvy at protecting her assets, and she doesn't care if that means bringing in the lawyers. Although her marriage to Kanye seems happy on the surface and they recently welcomed their third child, divorce rumors are rife. Sources are saying there's trouble in paradise, and Hollywood Life even suggested that a $1 billion divorce is on the way. Here are 12 signs proving that might just be the case. 12 MID-NUPTIAL DIVORCE SETTLEMENTS DO NOT SAY "HAPPY MARRIAGE" Kim and Kanye tied the knot in 2014 in a lavish and very beautiful wedding in Paris (naturally, with a ton of celeb guests). This was Kim's third marriage, although, she really felt she'd finally found "the one." Nevertheless, this didn't stop her from stipulating a strict prenup, where The Daily Mail reported that she'd get $1 million for each year she's been married to Kanye, plus their $20 million Bel Air mansion. This was four years ago, though. In 2017, reports surfaced that Kim had once again decided to protect her assets in a mid-nuptial agreement following Kanye's debt troubles and his increasingly erratic behavior. An insider told Radar Online that Kim "wants it all ironed out and watertight." Prenups are pretty standard in celeb land. What's less frequent though, is calling the lawyers four years in—especially when the family now consists of five. Is Kim freaking out that she'll soon be single again? Guess we'll see... 11 KIM ADMITS SHE IS SELF-ABSORBED We all want a loving and caring significant other. When you're the most self-obsessed person on the planet though, making room for anyone else is a bit of a problem. Kim has no shame when it comes to admitting she's self-centered. Releasing an entire book of selfies and calling it Selfish kind of proved her point and just recently, she personally confessed to being "self-absorbed." A world where Kim isn't permanently in the spotlight isn't one worth living in for this mom of three, and polishing her image is her number one priority. Between makeup tutorials, sell-out contour kits, and her global appearances—is there any room in Kim's life for a real marriage? Over 100 million of us follow her on Instagram. Considering 95% of the pics are of herself, we think it's safe to say Kim is definitely self-absorbed. 10 KANYE IS SO NARCISSISTIC, HE LITERALLY THINKS HE'S GOD Kanye West also lives on his own planet. The rapper, producer, and fashion designer claims he's a "genius" and psychologists have said he suffers from narcissistic personality disorder. To be fair, they have a point. Calling your own son "Saint," and your fashion line, "Yeezy," are tall orders in themselves, plus, Kanye has personally referred to himself as "a God." Kanye couldn't handle Taylor Swift's success at the 2009 VMA awards, although, he's since found easier ways to dictate his self-proclaimed status. He refuses to acknowledge that anyone else in the industry is better than him. "I'm like a vessel, and God has chosen me to be the voice and the connector," he said. Aren't phrases like that supposed to be for priests? Kanye doesn't care though. According to him, he's above a preacher. 9 $1 BILLION DIVORCE RUMORS ARE RIFE That's right— $1 billion . In December 2017, Star magazine's cover story made waves, as it was suggested that Kim and Kanye were set to divorce with what could be a $1 billion dollar settlement. Kim can earn millions in a day. Although their current joint fortune may be around $310 million, that's nothing compared to what they're actually worth. Kim plans her finances in advance, and with her endorsements, beauty lines, and TV appearances, she's richer than ever. Kanye rakes in a decent amount. Although, he's personally tweeted about being in debt, plus, he's had to cancel some of his tours. While Hollywood Life 's reports of Brad Pitt and Angelina's divorce settlements were looking at around $100 million, Kim and Kanye's figure could be closer to $1 billion. If Kim isn't happy and set to make a ton from a divorce, is she sitting there thinking it's in her interest to do it? 8 KIM IS STRUGGLING WITH KANYE'S ANGER ISSUES 2016 gave us a huge dose of Kanye breakdowns, as it was alleged that his behavior was manic and unpredictable. Kanye landed himself in the hospital, and The Daily Mail used the words "exhaustion" and "paranoia," and Kim was having a "really difficult time holding it together." We got to see Kanye's meltdowns on Saturday Night Live (another of his rants), and it's reported that Kim just can't take his anger issues anymore. Magazines have reported that they're in couples therapy, although given Kanye's total inability to listen, we dread to think how those might be going. Kanye lashes out at everyone around him on social media, including Kim's own family. He's slammed Kylie Jenner's Puma deal and rapped about Rob Kardashian's rocky relationship with baby mama, Blac Chyna. We know we wouldn't put up with Kanye in our home, so will Kim? 7 DIVORCES KIND OF RUN IN THE FAMILY ke a look at Kim's family for a minute. Khloe may be loved-up with her current beau and dad-to-be, Tristan Thompson, but she's been married and divorced. Her 2009 marriage to Lamar Odom didn't last, and it was a similar story for Kim's sister, Kourtney. Scott Disick and Kourtney may have three kids together, but they broke off their long-term relationship in 2016. It's a double deal with mom, Kris, who was married to Robert Kardashian and Bruce Jenner (although, we're all aware that Bruce is now Caitlyn, following a gender transformation). Kendall and Kylie may be on the young side, but new mom, Kylie has had her fair share of splits. Their lower-profile brother, Rob Kardashian, has had his heart broken by baby momma, Blac Chyna, and the Cheetah Girls star, Adriene Bailon, so it's fair to say that break-ups run in the family. Kim values her family more than anything, so will she follow in their footsteps? 6 THEIR SCHEDULES MEAN THERE'S NO FAMILY TIME Fact: Celebs have insane schedules. They may find the time for luxury Caribbean getaways, but given the number of private jet Instagram posts we see, it's obvious that they're always on the move. Kim is always flying somewhere. She was recently in Japan, plus, we saw the sisters take a bonding trip to San Francisco. It's a similar deal for Kanye, who is busy recording and performing, which means he's never home, and his commitments to the Yeezy fashion empire just make it worse. E Online say the couple have virtually no time together, and that means hardly any family time with their kids. We may see them heading to fancy restaurants on-screen, but the reality is that these two have impossible schedules and their marriage is crumbling as a result. Would a divorce just make that easier? It would mean booking a hotel suite for one, but we're assuming Kim can handle that. 5 KANYE IS COMPLETELY OUTNUMBERED BY KIM'S FAMILY Well, that's what you get for marrying into Hollywood's biggest family. Kanye may be bursting with confidence, but he's heavily outnumbered by Kim's family. Four sisters, a brother, a controlling mom, grandma, plus, Kim's squad of celebrity friends means she's got protection from every angle. Meanwhile, Kanye is alone and doesn't have much family since he tragically lost his mom in 2007. It's thought that Kanye feels hugely pressured by the family pack, particularly from Kris, who's always there for Kim and definitely always has an opinion. If it does turn into a divorce, Kim will have her crew to back her up, but Kanye will have no one. Fortunately, given that he thinks he's a genius (and a God), we'll assume he won't find that too troubling. 4 RUMOR HAS IT THERE'S BEEN SOME BETRAYAL Oh dear, here come the rumors. Kim and Kanye were friends for quite a while before becoming a couple, but they've had their fair share of straying rumors. Kim infamously dated the NFL player Reggie Bush while Kanye was with the model Amber Rose. Both of those relationships blew up in smoke. Amber even spoke to Star magazine, calling Kim a "home wrecker." You may think that term is reserved for Angelina Jolie, but it looks like Kim's had the label slapped on her, too. Kim and Kanye project a solid image with their three kids. They make sure they're photographed holding hands, but we all know that means nothing. Is someone being bad, here? It's not Kim's style to take to social media with aggressive statements, but that doesn't mean she isn't feeling insecure. Rappers have a bad rep when it comes to being good to their spouses, so it looks like they both need to watch their backs. 3 KANYE IS THE CONTROLLING ONE, LEAVING KIM "SMOTHERED" It's said that Kanye's demands on Kim are so insane, they're leaving her unable to cope. Radar Online said that Kanye forces Kim to keep her eyes glued to him during live performances and that he insists on making all of her decisions for her. Apparently, Kanye won't allow their clothes to be washed together and he's even said to attempt controlling who Kim spends her time with. Since they've been married, we've seen Kim's wardrobe change immensely and she mostly wears Yeezy attire now, and while it's good for his brand, it doesn't seem to give her much freedom. Radar Online also reported that Kim feels "smothered," and that Kanye's demands are crushing her. Kim is an independent businesswoman who likes her own sense of control. If Kanye is compromising that, will that drive her to leave him? 2 THEY ARGUE ALL THE TIME Couples arguing is kind of part of being together. We get into stupid fights about taking out the trash or who got the TV remote first. Between Kanye's notorious meltdowns and Kim's self-sufficient personality though, it's unlikely an argument between these two will end well. Sources say the two are at each others' throats, and that the house is basically one giant fighting zone. The Daily Mail actually reported that Kanye fired one of Kim's security crew just because the guy was talking with her, not to mention reportedly banning her from doing any more spin-off shows. We know we'd put up a fight if our partner made demands as extreme as these, so we can't imagine what the little fights look like in that house. 1 KANYE DISLIKES INSTAGRAM, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KIM Okay, this one is just bad news. Kim K is an Instagram queen, with over 100 million followers. She uses the platform to promote herself, her products, and her brand, and it's basically the backbone of her empire. Whether she's shocking us with bold bathroom selfies or just letting us know that her KKW Beauty line is back in stock, this woman lives on Instagram. Trailing behind with less than half a million followers, Kanye is hardly ever on there. He uses Instagram only occasionally—probably because it doesn't let him go on crazy rants. Part of being a compatible couple is having common interests. Isn't that something we use to make a first date work? With Kim's love for Instagram and Kanye's apparent disinterest in it, this really isn't a good sign.
