Kim Kardashian Opens Up About Her Life After Divorcing Kanye West In A New Interview
In a new interview with The Sunday Times, the reality star got candid about her dating life following her highly publicized divorce from Kanye West, explaining why she has spent the past several years prioritizing other parts of her life instead of rushing into another serious relationship.
Kim and Kanye married in 2014 and share four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. After years together, Kim filed for divorce in February 2021, and their divorce was finalized in November 2022. Their split played out publicly, with the former couple navigating co-parenting while Kanye's increasingly controversial public behavior continued to attract attention.
"I was really single for five years," she told the UK publication. "And that felt great. I could focus on my kids and projects that I really wanted to be involved with."
Kim Says She Needed To 'Heal' After Her Relationship With Kanye
While the SKIMS founder has been open about the challenges of her divorce, she also explained that taking time away from dating was about more than simply adjusting to life as a single mother. After spending years in a high-profile marriage, she wanted to focus on her own well-being and give herself the space she needed to move forward before letting someone new into her life.
Like, I really didn't feel empty," she continued. "I felt like I needed my time. I wanted to completely heal and just work on myself. I wasn't ready to open up. I really wasn't even thinking about it. The universe works in your favor when you just allow it to."
After spending years focusing on herself, Kim has since found a new romantic connection with F1 driver Lewis Hamilton. The pair sparked dating rumors in early 2026 and have since been spotted together on several occasions.
However, the mom of four is still keeping some details of their relationship private, even declining to discuss the romance directly in her recent interview when asked about it.
"In the most respectful way, I'd probably rather not," she stated.
