KARDASHIAN ROOTS
Kim has been clear to share with her fans that she stays connected to her father’s Armenian family roots, as all four of his grandparents emigrated to the United States in the early 1900s.
Back in 2015 when Kim was still married to Kanye, 44, the couple took a special trip with their first child.
The happy couple at the time took North West with them to Jerusalem for her to be baptized on her second birthday.
At the time, Kim tweeted a photo of her and Kanye inside of an ornate Armenian church.
Kanye stood by Kim’s side dressed in white as the reality star cradled North in her arms.
Kim, pregnant at the time with Saint West, tweeted about the moment: “Baptizing North in Jerusalem in an Armenian church with our new baby in my belly was so special.”
MARRIAGE CRUMBLES
Six years and two more pregnancies later, Kim and Kanye filed for divorce in 2021, but Kanye hasn’t been letting things slide easily.
The Sun exclusively revealed a source reported Kanye thinks Kris Jenner’s boyfriend Corey Gamble, 41, “convinced” her to divorce him.
According to the insider, Kanye, whose divorce was finalized on Wednesday, also blames Corey for his own strained relationship with Kris, 66.
Kanye’s bizarre belief is apparently the reason he reposted unproven claims about Corey cheating on Kris and slammed him as “godless” in another tirade.
A source told The Sun: “Kanye believes that Corey is to blame for his separation from Kim. Bizarrely he thinks Corey told Kim to leave him.
Kanye shared an article about Corey claiming he had cheated on the momager back in February but quickly deleted it.
The source continued: “Kanye believes that Corey came into the family and made everyone more liberal than they had ever been.
“He thinks that if he can change their political views, then he has the power to convince Kim to leave him and Kris to stop talking to him.”
Additionally, the source confessed: “He doesn’t want to concede that his own behavior was behind Kim’s decision to leave.
“Kris has previously encouraged her daughters to stay with the fathers of their children and even when they split, she always tries to keep the peace and stick by them just like she did with Scott Disick, Lamar Odom and Tristan Thompson.
“That’s why he believes Corey is behind he and Kris’ relationship breaking down.”
FAKING IT
Along with Kanye’s claims about Corey, the Donda 2 rapper hasn’t been taking his official divorce well.
Furthermore, a source revealed Kanye has been spending time with other women in hopes of making Kim jealous.
“Kanye’s latest relationship with Chaney Jones is not real at all.”
The rapper confirmed the romance by posting a photo of them on Instagram with a heart emoji.
A source continued to tell The Sun: “He chose Chaney because she is a lookalike of Kim, they are almost identical. He just wanted her on his arm to try and upset Kim.”
The source said: “Kanye has even told friends the whole thing is for publicity, as he knew he would be photographed with her.
“In his mind, it will make Kim jealous – even though Kim has clearly moved on. Seeing Kim with Pete is driving him insane and this is his way to get back at her.”
Kanye has also made threats to Pete, as the comedian’s friends think the new Eazy music video took things a step too far.
In the video, he ties Kim’s boyfriend up and drives him via four-wheeler to an abandoned area where he buries him.
As for Chaney being Kim’s look-alike, Kanye is hoping all of the photos will come back around to his ex.
The source said: “He’s only just started to realize that this divorce is for real and can’t stand that he has lost Kim.
“He has no intention of starting a relationship with anyone right now, but likes being pictured with other women because he likes the attention it brings him and he knows that the pictures will reach Kim.”
