Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were one of the most discussed celebrity couples. The duo got married in 2014 and share four children; North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm West. The couple later hit a rough patch and eventually divorced in 2022. But Kardashian’s romantic gesture for West once got her a lucrative surprise.
Ye’s surprise came after Kardashian rejected an ad that impressed her then-husband. Fairly enough, Kiki could have said yes to the brand but she was far from going against the wind where Yeezy would be hurt as it was her then-husband’s rival brand.
Kim Kardashian Turned Down An Ad, Got A Stunning Surprise From Kanye West
Rapper and singer-songwriter Kanye West was impressed with his former wife Kim Kardashian after she rejected an ad offered by a rival brand of Yeezy’s fashion line. Kardashian went to West for advice on the offer as the brand asked her to post her photos wearing the products of the brand that offered a whopping $1 million. But West was not in favor of her wife accepting the offer.
“I don’t want to say who the brand is, but they typically knock off Yeezy … [Kanye was] like, ‘No babe. I really don’t want you to do that,'” Kim said on Ashley Graham’s Pretty Big Deal podcast in 2018.
One week passed after the reality TV star rejected the offer and Mother’s Day was on the corner. Ye sent her flowers to celebrate the event but there was a huge surprise— a million-dollar check in an envelope complemented with the flowers.
“I open the envelope and it’s a million dollar check, and it was a note saying thank you for always supporting me and not posting. And then, in the rest of the envelope, it was a contract to be an owner of Yeezy, to have my percentage.”
Romantic indeed, the support for each other to strengthen the bond was exemplary. However, the duo eventually failed to sustain their marriage.
Kim Kardashian Shared The Reason For Her Divorce With Kanye West
Kardashian and West’s divorce was a shocker and it was the talk of the town for quite a while. Kardashian later shared the reason for her divorce on numerous occasions where the 43-year-old candidly stated that at her age she does not need a husband that lives in a different state.
After turning “40 this year, I realized, ‘No, I don’t want a husband that lives in a completely different state,’” she told Kris Jenner during the season finale of Keeping Up With the Kardashians (via POPSUGAR). In an exclusive chat with Vogue, Kardashian explained her divorce once again. “For so long, I did what made other people happy,” she told the outlet.
“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.”
The Television personality went on to add that she was planning on having more personal time.
“My 40s are about being Team Me. I’m going to eat well. I’m going to work out. I’m going to have more fun, spend more time with my kids and the people who make me happy. I’m going to put my phone down. Unfollow if I don’t want to see something on Instagram. Khloé came up with the best phrase for that yesterday. She said, ‘Post and ghost.'”
After a huge buzz of Kardashian dating football wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr after West, the duo has been reportedly split (per Capital FM). Currently, she is a single mother taking care of her children.
