As we discussed on Sunday, Kanye West is living separately from Kim Kardashian following his release from UCLA’s psychiatric ward. My assumption is that Kim and the kids are living in the family home, and that Kanye is either staying in a rental, or he’s staying in some other property that he owns, like his old bachelor pad (which I don’t think he ever sold). There’s been a lot of gossip about the Kimye marriage and whether Kim is trying to do some kind of tough-love situation, or whether Kim has been leaking stories to advance a storyline which will have her filing for divorce. E! News – home to the Kardashians’ reality shows – claims that divorce is not on the table. I guess.

Kanye West has the support and love from wife Kim Kardashian as he continues his recovery following a more than weeklong hospitalization for exhaustion. The rapper was released from UCLA Medical Center Wednesday and has since then been treated as an outpatient and spent time with his family.

Kanye “will remain getting outpatient treatment till he is fully recovered,” a source told E! News exclusively. “Kim wants him to continue getting therapy even after all of this. He has support from so many people.”

“Kim is doing okay despite reports,” the source continued. “She has many things on her plate so being overwhelmed is expected. She wants to get Kanye back on his feet. She is not leaving him. She loves him.”

Another source told E! News, “Kim will of course always stay by Kanye’s side and support him and help him through it all.”

Some people believe all or some of this is being faked, or that certain stories are being used o further some agenda. Personally, after years of covering the Kardashians, I feel like I have a good handle on which stories are being used as reality-show storylines and which stories are actual tragedies and bad moments that are unfolding in real time. I don’t think this is a reality show storyline. I think Kim has been over the reality show sh-t since the Paris robbery, and now that Kanye is struggling in a huge way, she’s really just trying to keep her head above water. While Kris Jenner might be pushing certain angles – I would not put it past Lucifer’s Homegirl – I’m choosing to take most of this stuff at face value. Kim loves Kanye, but she’s tired. She’ll always support him but she wants him to be an equal partner to her. They’re not splitting up, they’re just working through a really rough time.
