Kim Kardashian keeps married name in SNL promo ahead of 'nervous' debut

Kim Kardashian has used her married name in the first promo for her eagerly awaited episode of Saturday Night Live.

The mum-of-four, who is said to be 'nervous' about her debut says: "Hi, I'm Kim Kardashian West and I'm hosting SNL this week with Halsey" in the clip.

The promo comes amid reports her estranged husband Kanye, 44, has been "quietly advising" Kim ahead of her SNL appearance this weekend.

The Gold Digger star has apparently been giving the pint-sized star notes on her "performance, her opening monologue and even her costumes for the show."

A source told Page Six : "Kim is nervous about hosting SNL. It's a big challenge but she is determined to be a success.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star will be the first of her family to host the show and Kim has been calling on the help of quite a few famous faces.

She is said to have discussed her upcoming role with the likes of Ellen DeGeneres , Amy Schumer and James Corden as well as Dave Chappelle and Michelle Wolf, who have all been giving her advice about how best to perform her monologue.

As Kanye is said to have helped the SKIMS founder, the pair have reportedly put their divorce 'on hold' with fans convinced they're going to reconcile.

Kim filed for divorce from the Touch the Sky rapper in February, but the pair have been spending a lot of time recently.

They were last seen heading out for dinner in Malibu on the weekend and of course Kim made quite the appearance at Kanye's bizarre listening parties for the release of his album Donda.

The KKW Beauty founder even donned a wedding dress for one of the shows, during which Kanye claimed Kim, 40, was still in love with him.

And now, insiders say they are in no rush to push their divorce through the courts.

A source said: “Kim and Kanye’s split appears to have brought them closer together," reports The Sun.

They added: “Kim and Kanye are separated but the divorce is not being rushed through.

“For them, the most important thing is their children.”

The reality TV star has four children with estranged husband Kanye - North, eight, Saint, five, Chicago, three and two-year-old Psalm.

Rehearsals for Kim's show started earlier this week and the reality queen kept her fans up to date with events on Instagram.

Kim is set to make her hosting debut this weekend on Saturday, October 9.
