Kim Kardashian Says Family Goes Into ‘Lockdown’ to Protect Her Kids When Ye Makes Negative Headlines

Kim Kardashian activates a “lockdown” mode to shield her four children from the media's negative coverage of her ex-husband, Ye, or the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, during moments of mental health crisis. This tactic involves disconnecting her children—North (13), Saint (10), Chicago (8), and Psalm (7)—from the outside world by turning off TVs, radios, and Sirius XM, replacing them with movies and music on their phones.

Kim Kardashian admits she still worries about her ex-husband, who has been open about his mental health struggles, despite the improved co-parenting relationship. She maintains open communication with West's family and encourages them to spend time with the children, emphasizing that they are part of their extended family. Kim Kardashian and Ye began dating in 2012 and married in 2014, with Kardashian filing for divorce in February 2021, and the finalization occurring in November 2022.
