Kim Kardashian Has Known About Kanye West's Relationship with Irina Shayk for 'Weeks,' Source Says
Kim Kardashian is only thinking about her children on the heels of the news that ex Kanye West is seeing model Irina Shayk.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, 40, filed for divorce from the rapper, 43, in February, following a tumultuous year. The former couple, who wed in May of 2014, share daughters North, 7½, and Chicago, 3, and sons Saint, 5, Psalm, 2.
After West and Shayk, 35, were spotted together in France earlier this week, a source says that Kardashian has known about their budding romance "for weeks."
"It doesn't bother Kim that Kanye is dating," the insider says. "Her only concern is their kids. She wants Kanye to be present and spend as much time with them as possible. The kids love when Kanye is around."
The source adds, "Kim doesn't want a new girlfriend to distract Kanye from spending time with the kids."
