It is official. The couple of decades of divorces. After months of constant rumors Kim Kardashian He has formally filed for divorce from the rapper Kanye West ending a six-year marriage between two of the century’s most important stars.
The impact of the news in the United States, a country with no royalties but inclined to treat celebrities as if they were, is similar to that of the break between Brad Pitt Y Angelina Jolie with one difference: they belonged to Hollywood’s elite, while Kim and Kanye were the kings of social networks.
Until then, no couple had been so exposed. The traditional model for making a profitable relationship between two stars was based on studied public appearances, photos stolen by the “paparazzi” and some exclusive engagements.
But Kim Kardashian found a mine on Instagram that she could exploit to share her family moments directly, whether it was one of her first romantic dinners, the photo in the bathroom mirror showing her pregnancy, or a video after she was victimized. gotten from a robbery.
Kardashian-West: The Union of Two Internet Stars
In mid-2012, the union of the musician and the star of the Kardashian clan was perfect for popular culture.
On the one hand, she was the ‘influencer’ par excellence, an example to follow for a whole generation of celebrities who showed up on social networks. She learned from the first “famous for being famous”: Paris Hilton. And after years as his assistant, the leak of a sex video and the premiere of a family “reality show” put his name on the map.
Kanye West’s fame, on the other hand, was more conventional. He is considered one of the most important rappers in history thanks to albums such as My beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010) n Jesus (2013), but his controversies eventually eclipsed the image of a cult musician.
A love that is exploited at first sight
Long before they were dating, Kim and Kanye were exploding into their first flirtation. Bee reality Kourtney & Kim Take New York You could see the chemistry between the rapper and the famous, who insisted their friendship was a friendship.
In fact, they had known each other since 2003, when they fell in love with her during a recording session (she was in a relationship with a producer).
What entered through the eyes was not through the letters. Kanye didn’t really know who she was and called her “Kim Kardajan” and “Kim Kar-dijon.”
As of 2012, the surname was learned and they were seen on fashion runways, NBA games, and red carpet awards. The audience had witnessed the collision of two media stars. Documented daily.
First baby and wedding in style
If their love story was morbidly lacking, they took it upon themselves to record it. In June 2013, the couple announced that they were expecting their first daughter, named North West on a show of creativity, just a day before ending her divorce from Kris Humphries (married for 72 days and separated for nearly 20 months).
Then the wedding came. For all high. A pre-party at the Palace of Versailles (France) and the link at the Forte di Belvedere in Florence (Italy).
It was the farandulero event of the year. Steve McQueen, David Blaine, Serena Williams, John Legend and Jaden Smith stood out on the guest list. Lana del Rey and Andrea Bocelli were in charge of the music. But the plan didn’t convince the “rival” couple: Beyoncé and Jay-Z.
All attendees signed a nondisclosure agreement. You couldn’t negate the exclusivity of a family who made a fortune of $ 2 billion selling their lives in all sizes.
Enmity with Taylor Swift, theft and first crises
As great executives of the celebrity business, the couple had to find a new vein to exploit.
Kim joined her husband in an addictive all-out war with the best-selling singer of the decade, Taylor Swift, who made headlines in 2016 with a rap in which he called Swift a “bitch”, reportedly with her endorsement. Pure gold for pop culture.
That year, during Paris Fashion Week, she was tied up in her hotel room and suffered a robbery worth $ 11 million. He went through several tricky episodes and was shot in 2018 for a nervous breakdown.
Love for Trump, Presidential candidacy and divorce
The couple, with four children, continued to make headlines but no longer had full control over their fame, also worn away by the admiration between Kanye West and Donald Trump
The crisis worsened when the rapper presented a surreal bid for the US presidency in mid-2020, followed by an episode of erratic behavior.
For the first time, Kim asked for privacy on Instagram, the same platform on which their relationship exploded. On the day the divorce was confirmed, her posts were limited to advertising her clothing line. It’s time to get on with the business. (I)
