Behind the scenes details of Kim Kardashian’s marriage breakdown with rapper Kanye West have been revealed in the last episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

In February, the reality star filed for divorce from West, who she married in 2014 and has four children with, citing irreconcilable differences.

The pair were rumoured to be experiencing difficulties in their relationship last year when West made an unsuccessful bid to become president of the United States.
