Kim Kardashian admits she's 'struggling' as a single mom following Kanye West split

Breaking up is never easy - even if you are a mega-star like Kim Kardashian.

In a heartbreaking moment, the mom-of-four revealed that she has ‘struggled’ with her kids after splitting from Kanye West.

Kim filed for divorce from the rapper in February 2021 but it wasn't until November last year that it was officially finalized.

However, a surprising member of the Kardashian clan has been helping her adjust to life as a single mom. Take a look below:

In a candid moment on the The Kardashians, the reality star revealed that her sister Khloé's ex, Tristan Thompson, has been supporting her.

The confession is pretty shocking given that the basketball player notoriously cheated on Khloé multiple times during their on-off relationship.

During the latest episode though, Kim defended Tristan and revealed that he’s ‘stepped up’ in recent years.

Of course, she was well aware that viewers would be a little stunned by her defending Tristan on air.

She admitted: “Oh, I know guys are gonna hate me for this and you’re gonna hate us and you’re gonna think Khloe is whatever… So it’s like you wanna obviously like hate him for that...Yeah, of course, his actions and who he was, like so f***ed up."

However, she then went on to explain how she’s ‘struggled’ as a single mom, with Tristan stepping in to help her out.

“But he’s also shown so many decent things and just has been a really good person and friend. When he saw me struggling with my kids, he stepped up,” she added.

Touchingly, she explained how the NBA star picked her son Saint up, would take her kids to dinner and even came to her defence after her relationship broke down.

“And I just like never forgot that, so it’s like, I’ll never really throw someone away and act like I don’t feel like they can’t grow and evolve,” Kim added.

In spite of her struggles, it seems the 42-year-old is on to bigger and better things as she is also starring in American Horror Story this month.

The TV personality stars as a hard-nosed publicist Siobhan Corbyn in the latest instalment of the horror anthology series.

While it’s not Kardashian’s first acting gig, it seems that she is more than suited to her role as a Hollywood businesswoman.

Clearly, art is imitating life.
