Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are reportedly heading towards a divorce.

If last year was all about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie grabbing the headlines due to their divorce, this year could see another prominent celebrity couple calling it quits. No, it is not Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban or Pitt's ex Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux. There is a new entry and the couple goes by the name of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.

This is definitely out of the blue but it is said that Kim has made up her mind about separation. The reality TV star has a clear picture in her mind as to where she sees herself in near future and her rapper husband does not figure into the equation. Notably, rumors of the couple facing troubles in their marriage have been doing the rounds for a long time.

However, things worsened in the recent past after Kim returned from Paris after the notorious robbery incident. It is said that she did not feel at ease in their home as Kanye did not make any attempt to protect her. Troubled by his insensitivity, she took the drastic step of moving out from their Bel-Air home to live with her mother Kris Jenner in Calabasas, claims Daily Mail.

According to the publication, the 36-year-old reality star has been staying with her mother for two months. Though media outlets had earlier claimed that the move-out was because of Kim's fear of staying alone, now it is being said that she relocated in order to get away from her marital troubles.

Speaking of marital troubles, differences had sprung up between the couple after the birth of their son Saint. The two would find themselves bickering quite often and despite Kim's efforts, things could not become normal. The robbery incident made things worse and since Kanye was allegedly battling mental breakdown at the same time, the couple grew further apart, reports TMZ.

Insiders say that they have become so estranged that their marriage is over. Kim is ready to file the papers and she has also got everything worked out. She did not tell West anything because she wants to avoid the gossip and media glare.

It is worth mentioning here that recently fans had blasted Kim Kardashian and Kanye West over their Christmas party photo for looking so distant despite being in the same frame.
