Kim Kardashian Opens Up About Raising Her Four Kids on Her Own

Kim Kardashian recently shared how challenging solo parenting can feel, especially when caring for her and Kanye West’s children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. Despite being a celebrity, Kim admits that raising four young kids sometimes feels overwhelming.

On the November 12 episode of the What in the Winkler? podcast, Kim spoke openly with friend Zoe Winkler about the realities of parenting alone. “I think you and I have connected a lot on parenting,” Kim said. “Sometimes you feel like you’re doing it all by yourself, even with the support system around you.” She explained that the late-night moments—when kids are restless, crying, and sneaking into bed—often make her feel alone. “People might assume it’s easier because I can afford help,” Kim shared. “But at the end of the day, I’m raising four kids mostly by myself.”

She went on to describe the morning rush of getting her kids ready for school. “This morning I had five kids to drop off,” she recalled. “Everyone wants something different and at a different time, so I feel like a pit stop worker in a race.” Kim reminded herself, and other parents, that it’s important to show yourself kindness during those hectic days.

Kim’s focus on “giving yourself grace” is something she’s held close since her 2022 split from Kanye. When it comes to talking about the divorce with her kids, Kim is thoughtful, aiming to help them feel safe and loved. “The most important thing is for kids to feel loved and heard,” she said in a recent interview with GQ. “They’re young, and it’s hard to process big changes. I try to keep things at a level they can understand. Showing vulnerability is okay, but I make sure not to go negative.”

Kim also believes in being honest with her emotions, even if it means being open about the harder moments. “Just because I know how to handle stress doesn’t mean I don’t feel emotions,” she admitted. “If I’m sad, I allow myself to feel it.”

In her candid conversation, Kim showed that no amount of fame or resources can eliminate the challenges of parenting—but self-compassion can make it a little easier.
