Kim Kardashian was ‘single for five years’ as she ‘healed’ from traumatic Kanye marriage before Lewis Hamilton romance
KIM Kardashian was single for five years as she needed time to “heal” following her traumatic divorce from Kanye West.
Apart from a brief fling with comedian Pete Davidson, the reality superstar shunned dating until falling for F1 ace Lewis Hamilton earlier this year.
Kim, 45, said: “I was really single for five years. And that felt great.
“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 favour when you just allow it to.”
The mogul filed for divorce from Ye, 49, in February 2021 following a turbulent period driven by his erratic behavior and public breakdown.
In a new interview with The Sunday Times, the Skims founder admits she worries about exposing her four children with the rapper – North, 13, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 7 – to her stratospheric fame.

Describing herself as an “intermediate-strict parent,” Kim bans her kids from taking part in any storyline drama on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
She said: “I do worry about it. Each kid does what they’re comfortable with.
“So, my little ones come around when I’m filming but they don’t really do storylines.
“North loves it a little bit more than the rest. I hold her back. All she wants to do is forward-facing projects.
“And with her, since it’s more music-related, that is something that her dad and I have better communication about. We make sure that we’re aligned and that she’s in projects that we both approve.”
The star, worth £1.9 billion, recently branched out into acting with a role in the popular but critically panned Hulu drama All’s Fair.
Addressing the backlash, she added: “I am so used to it, I have a really thick skin.
“I mean, at the beginning, to the girls, my cast, I was like, ‘Wait, are we OK? Did I ruin everything?’
“And they were like, ‘Listen, we are OK.’
“I didn’t realise that in the film business as well you get so much criticism. But we had so much fun.”
