Kim Kardashian has broken cover after her husband Kanye West issued a grovelling apology to her over Twitter.
The reality TV star, 39, looked sombre as she headed out for a solo drive in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon.
It's the first time Kim has been seen in days as she opted to take time away from the spotlight and social media following her husband's explosive comments about their marriage.
Kim looked like her usual glamorous self as she sported a full face of make up but was notably without the diamond engagement ring Kanye presented her with back in 2013.
The couple of six years are said to be at breaking point and living apart with Kanye claiming he's been trying to divorce Kim for months and she wants him 'locked up.'
After a week of digs at Kim and her family, Kanye took to social media on Saturday to apologise for his behaviour. He also admitted that he knew he'd hurt his wife of six years with his comments.
Kanye, who is said to be struggling with his Bipolar disorder, said: "I would like to apologize to my wife Kim for going public with something that was a private matter.
"I did not cover her like she has covered me. To Kim I want to say I know I hurt you. Please forgive me. Thank you for always being there for me."
Hours after his Twitter post, Kanye was pictured arriving at Cody Regional health in Wyoming.
According to TMZ, he arrived at the hospital via the emergency entrance and stayed around ten minutes before leaving.
Before that the rapper is said to have made a visit to California but did not stop to see Kim.
Kim has kept a low profile throughout the episode but did make a brief return to Instagram to ask for understanding from fans.
She said her husband was a 'complicated but brilliant' man and admitted she was feeling 'powerless' to help him while he continued to fire out nightly Tweets about their marriage.
Speaking out across three posts on her Instagram story, Kim wrote: "We as a society talk about giving grace to the issue of mental health as a whole, however we should also give it to the individuals who are living with it in times when they need it the most.
"I kindly ask that the media and public give us the compassion and empathy that is needed so that we can get through this. Thank you for those who have expressed concern for Kanye's well being and for your understanding."
