Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's marriage is thought to be on the rocks.
And according to an insider, reality personality Kim, 39, is "one step away from filing for divorce" from the rapper - who she shares children North, seven, Saint, four, Chicago, two, and Psalm, one.
They add that 43-year-old hitmaker Kanye "doesn’t want to face the situation" so is avoiding his wife by jetting off around the world to "find himself."
“Kim is one step away from filing for divorce, but first she wants to sit down with Kanye and talk over the important issues, such as the kids and finances. He is doing everything he can to avoid that, so on the rare occasion he does see Kim, it’s just for a brief dinner, and then he’ll dash off as quickly as possible," a source told Heat magazine.
They added: “He doesn’t want to face the situation they’re in right now. He keeps saying he needs to find himself before he can think about the future.”
It comes after Kim took to Instagram on Saturday and hinted that the stresses of the current year would soon be behind her, but also made reference to unnamed people trying to seize her happiness in a slightly cryptic post.
She wrote via Stories: “A year from now, everything you’re stressing about won’t mean a thing.
“Be thankful, smile more, spend more time with family and don’t stress the small things.
“This is our one chance at life.
“Don’t let anyone or anything take away your happiness.”
Kim and Kanye's marriage has been deeply challenged after Kanye announced his intention to run for President of the USA in the upcoming 2020 election.
While on the campaign trail, Kanye made shock claims that he and Kim considered aborting their eldest child, North West, when Kim first realised she was pregnant with her daughter.
And the rapper went on to brand his mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, a white supremacist, accused his in-laws of trying to have him locked up by a doctor, and claimed he had been trying to divorce his wife for over a year.
His outbursts have been attributed to the fact he suffers from bipolar disorder – with Kim being praised for a compassionate post she shared online following her husband’s shock comments.
Kanye later publicly apologised to his wife for his comments.
At the end of September Kanye shared a video of himself urinating on his Grammy Award and in another post said he feared he would be murdered or have daughter North taken from him.
The hip hop star was also banned from the site for 24 hours after sharing the phone number of a Forbes magazine editor.
