Kanye West seen for the first time in months amid Kim Kardashian divorce

He has kept a low-profile since it was confirmed that his marriage to Kim Kardashian was officially over in February this year. 

Continuing to fly under the radar, Kanye West was seen ducking into a building in Los Angeles last Friday, just days ahead of what would have been their seventh wedding anniversary on May 24. 

It is the first time that Kanye has been pictured out publicly since March 4 this year.  

While, Kim, 40, has been embracing her single life on nights out with friends and experimenting with new looks on her social media pages, Kanye, 43, has been largely staying out of the spotlight.

The sighting comes amid reports that Kanye’s Yeezy Gap line is on track to launch by the end of June, which could be why the rapper was seen in a hurry as he carried a pair of his sneakers into the building. 

The rap mogul was seen on a phone call as he was accompanied by a security guard while entering into the a building in LA.

Business of Fashion reported the end of June date over the weekend, meaning the rapper now has just over a month to complete the line.

Last month, Kanye responded to Kim’s February 19th divorce petition, asking for joint custody of their four children.

The rapper/fashion designer’s filings were practically the same as his reality star ex’s, also asking for joint legal and physical custody of North, seven, Saint, five, Chicago, three, and Psalm, almost two. 

Joint custody would not necessarily mean a 50/50 arrangement, with Kim likely to be their primary caretaker. 

Neither Kanye or Kim – both Forbes billionaires – will seek spousal support. Both have agreed to pay for their own legal fees.

A prenup is already in place, likely providing a strong framework for how the pair will divide their assets.

Kardashian has hired top Hollywood divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, reportedly the inspiration for Laura Dern’s Oscar-winning role in Marriage Story.

The attorney also represented her when ending her second marriage to husband Kris Humphries, which lasted only 72 days. Prior to that the star was wed to producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004.

Kim officially filed for divorce back on February 19th, with sources saying it had been months since she and Kanye last spoke. 

‘It’s gotten to the point where they haven’t spent time together as a married couple in months,’ a source told E! News in January, before things were made official. 

‘They’ve seen each other for the sake of the kids but have been living separately. Kim knows the marriage is over. She’s known for a while.’
