Kim Kardashian says a routine MRI flagged a small brain aneurysm. She links it to stress from her split with Kanye West (Ye). The claim appears in The Kardashians season seven premiere.
Her doctor told her stress can track with such findings. An aneurysm is a vessel bulge that can rupture. She earlier detailed Kardashian on Ye’s mental health in a podcast chat.
What the diagnosis means
The show records the doctor calling it a small aneurysm. Many stay stable for years, yet some bring real risk. She will monitor it closely and follow medical advice.
Stress, symptoms and co-parenting
She says psoriasis flared during the tense split period. She also describes feeling near Stockholm syndrome while coping. She adds that co-parenting keeps Ye in daily view.
Kardashian and West married in 2014 and finalised divorce in 2022. She says she tried to help, yet change never came. She left after seeking peace and safety for the children.
The pair now share custody and aim for calm routines. North has publicly praised her father in a sweet note. See our North West father tribute for that message.
