Reality television icon Kim Kardashian has disclosed a serious health diagnosis during a conversation with her sister Kourtney. Medical scans revealed the SKIMS founder has a small aneurysm in her brain.
The 45-year-old shared concerns that her condition might connect to emotional turmoil following her divorce from rapper Kanye West. Kardashian admitted the diagnosis causes significant worry as she navigates parenting her children.
Protecting Her Children Amid Health Crisis
Kardashian emphasized that safeguarding her four children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—remains her primary focus. “I feel more stressed probably just because I have to protect my kids,” she confessed during the emotional disclosure.
The media personality explained that while others can handle difficult situations, her instinct is to shield her children from life’s challenges. This protective instinct has intensified since discovering her brain condition.
Divorce and Health Connection
Medical professionals suggested possible links between Kardashian’s aneurysm and the stress of her highly publicized divorce. After marrying West in 2014, their relationship endured years of public disputes before finalizing divorce in 2024.
The former couple co-parent children ranging from six to twelve years old. Kardashian’s health revelation highlights the physical toll of emotional distress during major life transitions.
