Kanye West lost hope in saving marriage to Kim Kardashian months before divorce
By Cody Schultz
On Feb. 19, Kim Kardashian made the difficult decision to finally submit the formal paperwork to set into motion her divorce from Kanye West. The move came after weeks of speculation suggesting a divorce was in the works and Kim was simply trying to find the right time to proceed with making it official.
While we might not ever know the true turning point in Kim and Kanye’s relationship, Kanye seems to have a pretty clear idea of when hope in repairing his marriage to Kim disappeared. In fact, the hope seems to have faded away several months before their relationship became so bad divorce emerged as the best possible option.
Kanye West blames his Presidential run for ruining his marriage
According to a new report from PEOPLE, Kanye believes it was his decision to run for president in 2020 that was the true turning point in his relationship with Kim — the moment in which any hope of mending their relationship dissolved and reached its point of no return.
“He thinks that the Presidential run was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” a source revealed. “Before that, there was hope. After that, none. It cost him his marriage.”

It’s a fair assessment as Kanye and Kim’s troubles did seem to snowball after Kanye entered the Presidential race beginning with his infamous campaign speech in which he unveiled personal details about how he and Kim had considered abortion during Kim’s pregnancy with North.
From there, things went from bad to worse setting the stage for Kanye’s Twitter tirade which raised many red flags among fans. In the months that followed, Kim and Kanye seemed to grow further apart eventually leading to their divorce.
