Developing.....Kim Kardashian Reportedly Planning to Divorce Kanye West

Is Kimye on the rocks?  Two and half years after Kim Kardashian and Kanye West got married in a multimillion-dollar ceremony at a 16th-century Italian fortress, "she wants a divorce," a Kardashian friend claims, according to Us Weekly.

The reality star is already a two-time divorcee after previously being married to record producer Damon Thomas and basketball player Kris Humphries, so the 36-year-old mother of two isn't rushing to file papers just yet, says the friend, but she is planning her next steps.  "It will take some time before she can do anything," claims the friend, alleging that Kim is trying to build a case for full custody of the kids, 3-year-old North, and 1-year-old Saint, "but she doesn't want to stay married."

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is reportedly distancing herself from the Life of Pablo rapper.  This is a stark contrast from what was reported less than a week ago, as a source said Kim did not leave Kanye's side while he was at UCLA Medical Center Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital, for his nine-day stay for what his physician Michael Farzam dubbed an episode of "temporary psychosis."  West has been receiving outpatient treatment at an L.A.-area rental; a source told People he was at home with Kim and the kids.

The friend, however, tells Us Weekly, that Kardashian-West who has remained with the children at their 9,000-square-foot spread in L.A.'s Bell Air, "is being very protective and doesn't want Kanye around the kids right now."

The friend adds that Kim hasn't entirely shut out West, 39.  Hours after the 21-time Grammy winner was released, he attended the balloon-filled "low-key" family party she held for Saint days before his December 5 birthday.

Kim won't make any decisions until Kanye is fully recovered, says the friend. Until then, adds the pal, "she's being a supportive wife."  And the reality star - who has been in self-imposed seclusion since being robbed in Paris October 3 - is happy the musician is on the mend.

“She cares about Kanye and feels relieved he’s getting the help he needs,” continues the friend, “but she’s felt trapped for a while.”
