Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian have been considering a divorce for weeks prior to his Twitter meltdown on Tuesday night, according to new reports. 

 The rapper, 43, shocked fans earlier this week when he claimed he had been looking to end his marriage to the KUWTK star, 39, since November 2018. 

 Kanye's incendiary tweets came after he revealed at his South Carolina rally on Sunday that he and Kim considered aborting their daughter North, now seven.

 It has now been claimed that the couple have been considering a divorce for weeks as both sides feel the marriage is 'over'.
A source told People that a separation between Kanye, who struggles with bipolar disorder, and Kim, had been in the 'process for several weeks'. 
It follows claims that the couple had been living at opposite sides of their home during lockdown and at each other's throats.

 They said: 'There has been enough communication, both in the past few days and in the weeks prior, to establish that both sides feel the marriage is over.'
While another source claimed that divorce deliberations have been 'a long time coming' with the two 'even attempting to figure out the most amicable and loving co-parenting situation.'

 Kanye and Kim have four children - daughters North, seven, and Chicago, two, and sons Saint, four, and Psalm, 14 months.  

 The source continued: 'But now Kanye has, well, he has gone down a different path. Both in terms of deciding to announce his presidential bid, and also in terms of how he is choosing to express himself and the things he is choosing to say.

 'They have work to do, as parents and as a spouses who want to end this phase of their relationship. Kanye knows all of this, and everything that is happening right now is just like a horrible sideshow to what the real issues are.'
