When the news of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's divorce broke, fans were shocked as they never saw the loving couple's split coming. Although on-camera and during public events, Kim and Kanye appeared to be head over heels in love with each other, there was certainly a lot going on behind the scenes. The latest episode of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' gave fans a peek of it, which left fans fuming at the rapper.

In October 2020, Kim celebrated her 40th birthday on a private island with her family and friends. After returning from her vacation, the reality star's son Saint West began having a runny nose. At first, Kim just brushed it aside thinking it was nothing, as she also had a lot of things on her plate, like preparing to take a baby bar exam for the second time and planning a huge surprise gift for her mother Kris Jenner's birthday. But when Saint began running a fever, and her other kids too started feeling sick, the 40-year-old star got the whole family tested. Saint's and her reports came back positive.

But the reality star didn't want to put off taking the baby bar exam for a later date, so she continued studying for her exam while taking care of her children. She did it all while she herself was sick with Covid. Kim expressed how she was finding it very difficult to manage everything without any help from anybody, and doing everything by herself. 

This left fans wondering where Kanye was while his children and wife were sick. Kanye was featured on the episode for a brief moment when he helped Kim get Kris's gift ready. But the rapper was nowhere to be seen while his wife was struggling to juggle between her studies and taking care of the kids. Many fans took to Twitter to slam the rapper for his absence. 

A fan tweeted, "Are you telling me that Kanye came back to help with Kim’s present to Kris but didn’t stay to take care of the kids so Kim could study for the baby bar???? Yeah.... I would have divorced him too. #KUWTK." Another fan wrote, "Where was Kanye when his whole family had COVID? #KUWTK."



 



 



 

Another fan commented, "Okay but where the f*** was kanye to take care of the kids when they plus kim had covid #KUWTK." "Kimmy out here studying for the BAR with F***ING COVID and Kanye can’t step up for daddy duty so she can focus?? #KUWTK," expressed an annoyed fan. "Now i fully understand why Kim divorced Kanye. She was studying for the baby bar and there are children screaming and interrupting her studying? Oh hell nah... y’all just don’t know. That studying was near death. AND she had covid? Man what! #kuwtk," pointed a fan.



 



 



 

Despite all the challenges, Kim managed to take her baby bar exam for the second time. The reality star declared it as the toughest thing she ever did in her life, but also added that she was incredibly proud of herself for pushing through and not giving up. 

'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' Season 20 airs every Thursday at 8/7c only on E!
