Kim Kardashian needed to be single to 'heal' from her marriage to Kanye West

Kim Kardashian needed to be single to "heal" from her marriage to Kanye West.

The Kardashians star split from the controversial rapper - with whom she has children North, 13, Saint, 10, Chicago, eight, and seven-year-old Psalm - in 2021 after almost seven years of marriage, and aside from a short-lived romance with Pete Davidson, the brunette beauty had largely been alone until finding love with Lewis Hamilton, and she insisted she never felt "empty" without a relationship or in a "rush" to get romantically involved with someone new.

She told the Sunday Times Style magazine: “I was really single for five years. And that felt great. I could focus on my kids and projects that I really wanted to be involved with.

"I really felt no rush. Like, I really didn’t feel empty. I felt like I needed my time. I wanted to completely heal and just work on myself. I wasn’t ready to open up.

"I really wasn’t even thinking about it. The universe works in your favour when you just allow it to.”
