Kim Kardashian celebrates daughter Chicago’s third birthday

Kim Kardashian put her marriage woes aside to celebrate her youngest daughter’s birthday on Friday.

The reality star shared an album of snaps which captured sweet moments with her now three-year-old daughter Chicago. 

Among them were some stunning throwback photos of Kim in a metallic swimsuit as she cuddled up to the tot on a tropical vacation.

Kim wrote on Instagram: ‘My Chi Chi princess, today you are three!!! You have the sweetest little high voice that I could listen to all day! You bring so much magic into all of our lives. 

‘My heart is so full that you chose me to be your mommy ✨ I can’t wait to celebrate you with slime and LOL Dolls today! Happy Birthday Chicago.’  

Kim is mom to four kids with husband Kanye West; North, seven, Saint, five, Chicago, three, and Psalm, one. 

The sweet social media posts come as it’s claimed that Kim is figuring out a settlement with her husband of six years, and that a divorce is ‘imminent’. 

A source told People that ‘Kim and Kanye’s marriage is beyond repair’ and the KKW makeup mogul ‘is over Kanye’s chaos’ .

The duo have been living separate lives in recent months.

‘At this point she just wants to focus on the kids and her own life,’ said the insider, adding that Kim’s goal is to ‘create the best life for the kids.’

‘She and Kanye are just not on the same page when it comes to their future as a family.

‘And Kim is okay with it. She will do everything she can for the kids to have a great relationship with Kanye – she just doesn’t want to be married to him,’ they concluded.

The couple had a tumultuous 2020 that included the rap star’s failed run for the United States presidency amid a bipolar episode.

The couple embarked on a make or break trip with the kids in August. Since then they have only been seen together at Kim’s 40th birthday celebrations in French Polynesia in October.

Kanye has been living in Wyoming while Kim is in Calabasas, California, with the kids. 

Earlier this month it was reported by Page Six that Kim has enlisted the services of Laura Wasser, the lawyer who also represented Angelina Jolie when she first left Brad Pitt in 2016.

Laura also previously represented Kim in her divorce from her second husband Kris Humphries whom she was infamously married to for just 72 days.

And although divorce may be the best route for the couple, Kim is concerned about how a possible separation may affect her brood, emotionally and mentally.

‘The children are very important to Kim. She is worried about what a permanent split will be like for all of them concerning their well being,’ explained a source to People.

They continued: ‘She is asking others for advice on how to do this. But for the past few months and even longer, trying to be a normal family has been challenging and frustrating. She wants to move on.’

Kim’s concerns stem from personal experience, being that her own mother Kris Jenner divorced her late father Robert Kardashian in 1991.

The split came after Kris had an affair with the much younger soccer player Todd Waterman, but she and Robert managed to become friendly after the divorce.

A separate source told Us Weekly this week that their four kids ‘don’t know anything about the problems their parents are having’ as they are ‘very used to their dad living in another state.’
