Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Splits

 Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce from Kanye West after months of media speculation around the status of their marriage, a court official confirmed to Vulture. According to TMZ, who first reported the news, Kardashian is filing for joint custody and has agreed to a prenup, with the outlet dubbing the split as “amicable as a divorce can be.” The couple is also working on dividing their properties, given the complicated ownership of their Calabasas home. They married in May 2014 after dating for two years, and they have four children together: 7-year-old North, 5-year-old Saint, 3-year-old Chicago, and 21-month-old Psalm. According to gossip reports, West’s failed 2020 presidential run strained the couple’s marriage, especially after West divulged private details about their marriage on the campaign trail, including that they had considered getting an abortion. That prompted a rare public statement from Kardashian on her husband’s mental health, asking for “compassion and empathy” at the time. West did not attend Kardashian’s 40th-birthday island getaway, just weeks before the election, but did send a hologram of her late father, Robert Kardashian. Since then, reporting on the state of the couple’s relationship has swayed from claims that they weren’t living together and were splitting time with their children to claims that they were attempting to mend their marriage in counseling.

Kardashian kicked off the New Year by retaining celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser, who TMZ reports made the divorce filing. Just a week ago, Kardashian was spotted without her wedding ring, while West was spotted wearing his on February 17. That day, a source told People that West was “not doing well,” adding, “he knows that the marriage is over, and there’s nothing that can be done right now. He also knows what he is losing in Kim.”

The news comes after the final season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians wrapped filming. While West was not featured in the trailer, the season (premiering March 18 on E!) will reportedly tackle the buildup to their divorce.

Happy birthday to my lady, my love and Purpose Partner,
My world, my wife and Baby Mama.
I didn't think it was possible for you to be more beautiful than you already were... but I was wrong.
Because you're not just beautiful, you're strong.
You're grace and favour personified, and you're so much more.

Words cannot properly express how grateful I am for you, how much I love you, or what we've been through.
I'm thankful that you're mine
And that God made everything beautiful in His time
He turned our tears into triumph, and our loss into laughter
He's changed our lives forever, here's to the next (and best) chapter
Nothing I can say or do can top what He gave us
My baby had a baby and he's everything we prayed for

@adesuaetomi
Happy birthday "Mama Zaiah"
I love you SCATTER.

COVID 19: LARRY ZUKA, MY PERSPECTIVE

At times like these all we feel is pain, sorrow and frustration. A world in complete recess, Loved ones gone and earth seemingly in need of direction.

Never has it been that humans globally at same time will be locked in,not even when sadly the nuclear bomb was used. That brings me to my perspective.

As we grief together let's be hopeful together knowing that we will heal together with earth . Imagine the emissions that have gone silent , the oceans as they replenish, the wild that have rebirthed. An almost complete green earth awaits. Mother nature has forced us indoors so she could heal from our unrelenting battery.

The cars are off, the planes are down , the factories and their emissions are silent not for too long but for enough time to have clean air. Families have reunited , Enough time given for individuals lost in hustle and purpose  to Re-find themselves.

To all those that have left  because of the pandemic may they rest in peace and may God comfort there loved ones, And those fighting to survive..We will win together, and to the frontliners every day exposing themselves may God bless you.

When they rainbow finally shows and it's time to come out again , remember never to take earth for granted .@larzuka
