Kim Kardashian has admitted that she misses the version of Kanye West that she married.
The Kardashians star officially divorced rapper Kanye in March of last year, after being married for six years and welcoming four children together.
Now, Kim has been taking the opportunity to open up about her feelings regarding her recent divorce.
In a teaser for an upcoming episode of The Kardashians, Kim breaks down in tears as she speaks to her sister Khloé Kardashian about her split from her ex-husband.
The teaser showcases Khloé looking concerned for her 42-year-old sister and asking if she is okay.
“I’m not okay,” Kim cries out in response. The SKIMS founder then goes on to cry into Khloé’s shoulders, letting out her emotions.
“I just can’t,” she exclaims through tears, before explaining her feelings towards Kanye in a confessional.

“It's so different from the person that I married,” Kim notes in the teaser. “That’s who I loved and that’s who I remember. I'll do anything to get that person back.”
In a previous episode in the third season of The Kardashians, the mum-of-four confessed that she has been finding it difficult to watch Kanye’s behaviour unfold.
"It’s the hardest feeling to watch someone you really loved and you have a family with just be so different than who you knew," Kim stated to the camera at the time.
"Sometimes I feel like if he were to hit rock bottom, that’s his journey that he needs to figure out on his own. I used to run around and call everyone behind his back, and be like, 'It's gonna be OK, it's gonna be OK, don't worry. Just give him another chance.’ I just don’t have that energy,” she added.
Kim and Kanye had been in a relationship since 2011, before marrying in 2014. They became parents for the first time in 2013 with the birth of daughter North (10). The former couple subsequently went on to welcome baby boy Saint (7) in 2015, followed by Chicago (5) and Psalm (4) via surrogacy.

This is not the first time that Madonna’s health has affected one of her tours. In 2019, the Material Girl singer was forced to cancel dates on her Madame X Tour due to “overwhelming pain”.
"Doing my show every night brings me so much joy and to cancel is a kind of punishment for me but the pain I'm in right now is overwhelming and I must rest and follow doctors' orders so I can come back stronger and better,” she had stated at the time.

“I’m doing quite an exciting project, it’s an exciting shoot which I can’t say too much about. It’s just great to be doing stuff again and so quickly, I feel like the turnaround to doing work again has been so quick but that’s what I wanted,” she continued.
“I’m a workaholic. I’m very excited,” she added.
In her interview, Molly was also asked if she would consider returning to the show. “I mean if I was offered it I absolutely would. Just never say never," she teased.

Were you a fan of Bird Box when it was first released? Well, we have some great news for you!
Back in December 2018, audiences were riveted when Netflix dropped the hit film. With a cast led by Sandra Bullock, the initial premise consisted of a family embarking on a dangerous journey blindfolded, in an attempt to avoid making contact with a deadly force that can kill through sight.
On the back of its huge success, the streaming giant announced in January of last year that it was producing a brand-new story with a similar premise to Bird Box.
Now, Netflix has finally shared the full trailer and release date for the second movie in the anthology series – Bird Box Barcelona. The trailer is available to watch here:
Directed by brothers David and Àlex Pastor, the cast contains a whole host of brilliant actors, including the likes of Mario Casas, Georgina Campbell and Diego Calva.
The Spanish-language thriller will introduce audiences to a brand-new set of characters, who once again must take on their own ruthless journey in order to survive.
“After a mysterious force decimates the world’s population, Sebastian must navigate his own survival journey through the desolate streets of Barcelona. As he forms uneasy alliances with other survivors and they try to escape the city, an unexpected and even more sinister threat grows,” Netflix’s teasing description of the film reads.

The 32-year-old explained, “Oliver and I are both big family people, so we’ve always wanted to have our own. Once we’d had the wedding, it just made sense.

“We’re not planning on having a gender reveal party, although we do know what we’re having. We were so excited to find out, it’s nice to keep that information just for us”.

“She’s a rock to so many people – a super mumma – and I hope I can be one, too”.
Pixie went on to discuss the pregnancy symptoms she’s been experiencing so far. “I’ve been lucky enough to feel good throughout my pregnancy so far, I escaped very lightly in terms of sickness, there was just a lot of tiredness in the early stages”.
The Cry Me Out singer also revealed their baby is due to arrive in September so they really don’t have long to wait, but they are making sure to squeeze in a babymoon before the birth.
Every now and again, we read the results of scientific surveys and our blood boils enough that the steam contributes to global warming. This latest survey has succeeded in causing such rage.
Apparently, men spend HOURS hiding in the toilet from 'nagging wives', kids and household chores and suffer from a lack of 'me-time'. Really? Like, in all seriousness?
Considering they don't have to put in tampons or sanitary pads, we often wondered what can take some men so long in the bathroom, but now we know the answers.
Men are viewing bathrooms as their safe haven from the chaos of family life, retreating to the sanctuary to escape chores.
The study was conducted back in 2018 and it focused on the reasons why men hastily run away from their responsibilities to such a strange (and unhygienic…) part of the home.
According to the study, which surveyed 1000 male participants, men rack up seven hours of time spent in bathroom per year.
The reasons? They ran away from nagging partners, house chores, noisy children and also wanted the chance to use their phones in peace. Funny how mums don't get the same opportunity.
The study was commissioned by bathroom expert Pebble Grey, and discovered that one-in-10 bathroom visits would be interrupted. This adds up to 171 interruptions every year.
45 percent of the study's male participants said they rarely get any 'me time'. Among these men, a quarter of them stated that their partners aren't understanding of how hectic their lives actually are.
Somehow, we don't have sympathy considering women get paid less for their time and still have zero moments of self-care in their lives…
Stephen Lustig-Webb has spoken out after being on the receiving end of a homophobic verbal attack.
The Gogglebox star is well-known for appearing on Channel 4 screens every week, reacting to TV highlights with his husband Daniel.
However, Stephen has now revealed that the couple are continuing to receive homophobic abuse in their hometown of Brighton.
Taking to his Instagram account earlier today, the 50-year-old shared an image of a Pride rainbow flag.

"Last night Daniel and I were called 'f**king f*ggots' this was on hove sea front!” he detailed in the caption of his post.
Stephen concluded his message by writing: “The fight continues! Be aware be safe! #gay #pride #homophobiastillexists".
Many of the reality star’s followers have since taken to his comments section to express their sadness and disgust at the homophobic abuse.
“It’s pathetic that so many people are obsessed with others’ relationships. They must be utterly miserable in their own lives. Ignore them and be proud,” one fan wrote.

“They picked the wrong town. Come to think of it the wrong decade. Sorry you had to deal with someone elses major character flaws x,” another commented.
“I’m so sorry this happened to you both. Be proud and strong,” a third added.
Stephen has been a star of Gogglebox ever since the series first began in March 2013. He started out the show by appearing with his former partner Chris Ashby-Steed, and was also briefly joined by his mum Pat.

Stephen and Daniel, who are both hairdressers, later tied the knot in 2018 and now appear regularly together on the Gogglebox sofa.
In an interview with OK! earlier this year, Stephen admitted that he initially declined the offer to appear on the hit series.
“I said no originally. I didn’t want to be known for some awful reality show. But they won me around when they said they would pay us,” he teased at the time.
The About Damn Time singer attended Queen Bey’s Renaissance Tour performance in Warsaw last night, where she was taken aback by a tribute from the Crazy In Love hitmaker.
On her social media pages last night, Lizzo let her fans in on her reaction to Beyoncé’s surprise, by sharing a video with her 13.5M Instagram followers.
The video showcases the 35-year-old getting teary-eyed as she watches her idol pay homage to her fellow Black women in music.
On the stage screen, Lizzo’s name popped up amongst a list of many iconic Black female musicians, including the likes of Nina Simone, Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland, and Beyoncé’s sister Solange Knowles. The heartwarming display was lit up as Beyoncé sang one of her most recent hits, Break My Soul (The Queens Remix).
In the caption of her video, Lizzo went on to express how much the inclusion of her name meant to her.
“In that moment I was thinking about baby me, listening to Happy Face by destiny’s child and crying myself to sleep because of bullies…” the Truth Hurts hitmaker wrote.

“I thought about Beyoncé jumping into the room where Tina Turner was waiting to meet her for the first time. I think of what we all mean to people and how cyclical it is,” she continued.
Lizzo concluded her post with a final message to her hero. “We are all so infinitesimally and maximally connected and significant. It’s an honor. Thank You @beyonce,” she gushed.
Many of Lizzo’s fans have since taken to her comments section to congratulate her on her recognition.

“OMG!!! You are so humble and down to earth!! You deserve everything!!! Go Lizzo!” one follower replied.

Mehdi Edno has been opening up about his time in the villa!
The Love Island star was surprisingly dumped from the series last night, alongside co-star Mal Nicol. The pair were voted the least favourite boy and least favourite girl by the general public, and were told to immediately say farewell to their castmates.
Viewers watched in shock as Mehdi’s partner Whitney Adebayo got emotional as the pair were forced to say their goodbyes to one another.

The two Islanders, who were coupled up for several weeks, had a rocky journey with their relationship but ultimately left things on good terms.
Now, following on from his departure from the villa, Mehdi has been speaking out about his time with Whitney.
In his exit interview with ITV after his stint on Love Island, the 26-year-old Frenchman was asked how he felt about his relationship with Whitney over the past few weeks.
“I’d say it was great,” he stated in response.

“We had ups and downs but if we focus on the ups they were so good,” Mehdi continued.
The model went on to say that he would not rule out reuniting with the 25-year-old entrepreneur again in the future. “Obviously it’s hard for me to leave now as we had something good going on but I’m hopeful we can make things work, for now she needs to live her experience to the fullest,” he insisted.
In his post-exit chat, Mehdi also admitted that he was tempted by another girl in the villa. "I did want to explore a connection with Leah, but I was always drawn back to Whitney," he confessed.

Mehdi’s exit from the villa now leaves Whitney alone as a single Islander. Co-star Mal’s departure means that her partner, Sammy Root, has also been left single, with the potential to reunite with his former partner Jess Harding.
You can catch all the action again tonight, when Love Island airs at 9pm on Virgin Media Two.
