Kim Kardashian and her kids have a new - not so unfamiliar -neighbour: Kanye West.
The rapper, who is going through a divorce with the reality star, has spent R70 million on a nearby property in Hidden Hills, California, and has moved in to make sure he’s close to his family.
An insider told PEOPLE magazine: “Kanye’s new house is a teardown. He only bought it for the location. It’s near Kim and the kids.
“He has a vision for the house and plans on starting construction ASAP. It will be family-friendly.
“He wants to be able to have the kids over as much as possible. Living only in Malibu was making visits more tricky for Kanye.”
Kanye - who has kids North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, three, and son Psalm, two, with Kim - is said to have “jumped at the idea” of the buying the property.
Kim, 41, and Kanye, 44, previously agreed to seek joint legal custody of the kids in their divorce, with a source explaining: “[Kim] wants Kanye to be a big part of the kids’ lives. [He] will be invited to all holidays and family celebrations.”
Earlier this month, Kim filed legal documents asking to be declared legally single as she and Kanye have finished dividing up their assets.
She stated: “Irreconcilable differences have existed and continue to exist between [West] and me, which have caused our marriage to irretrievably break down. No counselling or reconciliation effort will be of any value at this time.”
Arme Kanye seems to be hung up on his ex. During a charity concert earlier this month, he rapped: “I need you to run right back to me, more specifically Kimberly.”
Kim, meanwhile, has moved on and has been jolling with comedian Pete Davidson for the past few weeks.
