Kim Kardashian unveils family holiday card portraits without ex Kanye West… after she tearfully said co-parenting with him is ‘really f***ing hard’ in bombshell interview

Kim Kardashian gave her fans a glimpse into her stunning holiday preparation when she shared some of her holiday family portraits to social media on Monday.

The Boxing Day post featured her four children — North, nine; Saint, seven; Chicago, four; and Psalm, three — while some photos also included her niece Dream Kardashian.

Notably absent from the family photos was Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West, 45, who has publicly harassed the 42-year-old reality icon since her divorce filing.

The post comes as Kim appeared on the Angie Martinez IRL Podcast on Monday, in which she tearfully opened up about her experiences of trying to coparent with the same person lambasting her online for months on end.

United front: Kim Kardashian, 42, shared some of the adorable holiday photos she snapped with her children at her family’s Christmas Eve bash on Monday

Kim looked glamorous in an off-kilter silver sequined dress, which revealed that the photos were taken at her family’s Christmas Eve party.

The look featured an diagonal neckline that highlighted her cleavage, along with one thick strap attached to the lower side, while the higher side featured a more modest strap.

The dress reached to the ground, hiding her footwear.

Kim ditched the dyed-blond hair she has sported in recent months in favor of her natural raven tresses, which were parted down the middle and styled in thick waves running down her shoulders.

The whole gang: The reality star was joined by North, nine; Saint, seven; Chicago, four; and Psalm, three, along with her niece Dream Kardashian, six

Low key: Saint (R) and Psalm (L) were dressed more casually in black and gray ensembles

Joining her was her oldest daughter North, who looked chic in a darker gray suit with bellbottoms that was covered in reflective sequins.

She also wore thick Cuban link chains around her neck and had her hair styled in thick red-tinted box braids.

Kim’s younger daughter Chicago, wore a short dress that was also covered in sequins, along with tall black boots.

Her oldest son Saint looked more casual in a black Prada shirt with matching pants and red-and-black sneakers.

His little brother Psalm sported similar braids and wore a gray button-up shirt and matching pants, also with sneakers.

Joining in on some of the photos was Dream, who is the daughter of Kim’s reclusive brother Rob Kardashian and his ex Blac Chyna.

She looked cute in a ruched gray–blue dress with a fabric flower stitched over her shoulder.

Kim and North rounded out Monday with a playful post to the TikTok account that they jointly run.

The Kardashians star looked chic in an all-black ensemble with chunky wraparound sunglasses, while North was too cool for school with a backwards black trucker hat to cover her braids.

The two posed while Kim pointed at her daughter, before North took the lead and lip synced to a brief segment of Peezy’s song 2 Million Up.

Earlier, Kim was seen breaking down into tears as she discussed what it has been like co-parenting with her ex Kanye West.

The shapewear mogul — who recently shared a sweet throwback snap featuring mom Kris Jenner and her sisters — appeared on the Angie Martinez IRL Podcast on Monday, where she was overcome with emotion as she talked about sharing four children with the 45-year-old rapper.

She explained that she has tried to shield the kids from the public trials and tribulations the former power couple have endured but began to tear up as she compared the lives of her children to hers being raised by late attorney Robert Kardashian.

Kim was crying  as she said: ‘I had the best dad. I don’t want to get emotional. It has just been a day for me. It’s hard. S*** like co-parenting it’s really f***ing hard you know.’

Angie, 51, said that Kim was not co-parenting with the ‘quietest, easiest’ former partner.

Kim replied: ‘Yeah, but I had the best dad and I had the best memories and the greatest experience and that’s all I want for my kids. As long as they can have that, that’s what I would want for them, you know.

‘So like if they don’t know things that are being said or what’s happening in the world like why would I ever bring that energy to them. You know, that’s like real heavy, heavy grown up s***. That they are not ready to, like, deal with.

‘And when they are we will have those conversations and I’ll be so prepared but until then I will do anything to keep their life as normal as possible.’

Kim talked about how she has shielded her four children from the drama — both publicly and privately — between the two A-list parents.

She explained: ‘I definitely protected him and I still will. In the eyes of my kids – for my kids.

‘So in my home, my kids don’t anything that goes on in the outside world and I’ve managed to- I’m holding on by a thread and I know I’m so close to that not happening, but while it’s still that way, I will protect that to the end of the Earth as long as I can.’

Kim continued by saying: ‘So like if they don’t know things that are being said or what’s happening in the world like why would I ever bring that energy to them. You know, that’s like real heavy, heavy grown up s***. That they are not ready to, like, deal with’

‘And when they are we will have those conversations and I’ll be so prepared but until then I will do anything to keep their life as normal as possible’

Kim has truly done all that she can to keep her children away from the drama and even calls her ‘best friends’ the teachers at their school who keep her in the loop of what the kids are talking about.

She revealed: ‘None of the [other] kids have ever said anything to my kids, When stuff’s going down I protect stuff as far as the TVs and the content that’s on. It is [a full-time job].’

She got candid as she admitted: ‘[It’s] worth it because of course I want to disassociate in specific thoughts and things being said because that’s not me, but at the same time in my home, I could be going through something but if we’re riding to school and they want to listen to their dad’s music, no matter what is going on in the world, I have to have that smile on my face and blast his music and singalong and act like nothing’s wrong.

‘As soon as I drop them off I can have a good cry.’

Last month, Kim and Kanye finally settled their divorce after an ugly public battle that raged on for almost two years since they split.

The pair have now come to an accord on the custody of their four kids, parenting plans and division of their multimillion dollar real estate portfolio.

Kardashian will get getting $200,000 in child support monthly, TMZ reported on November 29 after reviewing court docs. West, 45, and Kardashian will share joint custody and have ‘equal access’ to their four kids.

Insiders told TMZ that Kardashian will have custody of the children most of the time.

Under terms of the agreement, West will be responsible for 50 percent of the educational and security expenses for the four kids.

West and Kardashian agreed to attend mediation should they have a parenting disagreement, according to the outlet. Should one not attend the session, the attending parent will get to make the decision on the topic at hand.

Kim married Kanye in Florence, Italy in 2014, and welcomed four children with him. She ultimately filed to end the marriage in February 2021.
