Kanye West will have to pay an eye-watering sum to Kim Kardashian in child support, court documents seen by TMZ show.

The celebrity couple officially split up in February although it is believed they have been separated for some time.

Divorce papers state ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the split, although Kim has since commented that she decided to “put herself first” in an interview with Vogue. 

She said: “For so long, I did what made other people happy. And I think in the last two years I decided, I’m going to make myself happy.

“And that feels really good. And even if that created changes and caused my divorce, I think it’s important to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy. I’ve chosen myself. I think it’s okay to choose you.”

Kim and Ye have four children, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm, together.

According to court documents seen by TMZ, Page Six, People and Rolling Stone, Ye has agreed to pay his ex-wife $200,000 every month in child support.

They’re also committed to ‘equal access’ to the children.

Ye recently met with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort, with the former president seemingly coming away quite scathed from the rendezvous.

Trump said West is “a seriously troubled man” who needs help as he’s “been decimated in his business and virtually everything else”.

Although West requested a meeting “alone,” he showed up “with 3 people, two of which I didn’t know”, Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

One of those people were Nick Fuentes, a far-right activist infamous for his white supremacist and antisemitic views.
