In a preview clip of Season 7 of Hulu’s The Kardashians, the Skims founder, 45, revealed that her doctors had discovered a brain aneurysm during an MRI scan.
In the clip, Kim is shown undergoing an MRI and later telling her family, “There was a little aneurysm.”
As for the cause of the aneurysm, Kim said, “[The doctors] were like, ‘Just stress.’ ”
According to the Mayo Clinic, a brain aneurysm is “a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain. If the brain aneurysm leaks or ruptures, it causes bleeding in the brain, known as a hemorrhagic stroke.”
While brain aneurysms are common, most “aren’t serious, especially if they’re small. Most brain aneurysms don’t rupture.”
After sharing the news, an emotional Kim was seen discussing her divorce from ex Kanye “Ye” West.
“People think that I have the luxury of just walking away. I’m happy it’s over,” she says. “My ex will be in my life no matter what. We have four kids together.”
Kardashian and West married in 2014 and finalized their divorce in 2022.
In 2021, Khloé Kardashian revealed Kim had been struggling in her marriage to the rapper.
Kardashian and West share four children.
“Kim has been struggling privately behind camera about her relationship and it’s tough because Kim is clearly redirecting so much of her frustration and sadness and anger,” she said in a confessional during an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
“Sometimes you just take things out on something that has nothing to do with what you’re going through.”
“Kim is one of the most incredible human beings literally ever, and she tries to protect their union at all costs, but it’s hard when you carry that responsibility on your shoulders and I just want her to take care of herself, too,” she said.

Tearful Kim Kardashian Reveals Brain Aneurysm Diagnosis — and Blames Kanye West
In a preview for the rest of the season, Kardashian, 45, got an MRI and then told sister Kourtney Kardashian, on the phone, “There was a little aneurysm.”
“Whoa,” a shocked Kourtney, 46, responded as she put her hand over her heart.
Kim explained that doctors told her the aneurysm comes from “stress.”
An aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in the wall of a blood vessel, according to the Mayo Clinic. Aneurysms can rupture which causes bleeding inside the body and often leads to death.
During the premiere, the Skims founder noted that her stress comes from ex-husband Kanye West. They were married from 2014 to 2021 and have four children.
“I feel more stressed probably just because I have to protect my kids,” she said. “Everyone around can handle [the drama], but I want to protect my babies. They are going to know things. They’re going to grow up and see.”
“So my job as a mom is to just make sure that at a time when that behavior is happening, is just to make sure that they are protected,” Kim added.
Kim also revealed during the episode that her skin condition recently flared up again.
“I haven’t had psoriasis since I got divorced, and it just started coming back,” she shared while stating that she recently felt “pretty tested” by West, 48.
“I felt more stressed, probably just because I had to super, super protect what I had to protect,” Kim added.
In another scene, Kim said that she had “Stockholm syndrome” during her relationship with West.
“I always felt like I had a little bit of Stockholm syndrome, to where I always felt really bad and always protected [him] and always wanted to help [him],” she explained.
After their 2021 split, Kim and West went through a contentious divorce that was finalized in November 2022.
During her recent appearance on Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Kim opened up about the demise of the former couple’s marriage.
“People can say that there was, like, signs and maybe I didn’t, wasn’t paying attention to them,” she said.
“And I think when someone has, like, their first, like, mental break, you know, you wanna be super supportive and you wanna, like, help figure that out and you wanna really get into that with them and be there for them,” she added.
“And it changes everyone’s life forever.” (New York Post)
