Kim Kardashian Says Kids Know About Kanye West’s Behavior, More Takeaways From ‘The Kardashians: An ABC News Special’

As the Kardashian-Jenner family prepares to debut their new Hulu show, Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian are getting candid about their lives, telling all in a new special with Robin Roberts. Kim, 41, was in the hot seat during The Kardashians: An ABC News Special, addressing her relationship with ex-husband Kanye West at the top of the Wednesday, April 6, broadcast. "You want to take the high road and sometimes it's hard," the Skims designer told Roberts. "I've always been a champion of him speaking his truth." More than one year after their split — Kim filed for divorce in February 2021 — West continued to make headlines for his public posts about their dynamic. While the rapper, 44, initially tried to win Kim back after she moved on with Pete Davidson, he later made claims about her trying to keep the kids from him and threatened the 28-year-old Saturday Night Live star as his romance with the reality TV personality got more serious. Kim told Roberts that the exes’ eldest kids, North, 8, and Saint, 6, “know what’s going on” with their parents. [jwplayer 1JR7HrdZ-zhNYySv2] “The younger ones don’t understand as much,” she said of Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 2. "You have to just be there for them. No matter what, even in this crazy life that we live, you just have to have a really open dialogue with your children. Kanye and I have had conversations. We have to talk daily for the kids, so you know, I hate that it had to play out like that. But when it comes to family, I mean, Kanye and I will always be family." Relationships were a topic throughout the special, with Roberts asking Khloé, 37, who is in the “best place” at the moment when it comes to their romances. “I think all my family members, besides me,” she responded with a laugh before naming Kourtney, 42, and Travis Barker. “I think Kourt and Trav are in an amazing place.” Overall, Khloé added, “I think at the end of the day, all of us just aspire to have blissfulness. We want to be happy. We want to feel safe.” Scroll through for more quotes from The Kardashians: An ABC News Special:

Kim on Kanye

“I am a relationship kind of girl, for sure, and I wouldn’t be with someone if I didn’t plan on spending a lot of my time with them,” Kim told Roberts about Davidson. “Obviously, I want to take my time, but I’m very happy and very content. And it’s such a good feeling just to be at peace.”

While Kris added that the comedian is a “really nice guy,” Khloé noted, “He just makes her laugh, and she laughs all the time.”

Khloe on Tristan

The Revenge Body alum’s on-again, off-again relationship with Tristan Thompson ended for good in 2021 after he fathered a third child with another woman. The scandal marked the third time the NBA player made headlines for being unfaithful.

“I still think he’s a great guy, and he’s a great dad. He’s just not the guy for me. I think at the end of the day, all of us aspire to have blissfulness. We want to feel happy. We want to feel safe,” she said during the special, adding that she “did feel incredibly safe in the beginning” of their romance. “I felt really good for a time.”

Khloé also reflected on the first time Thompson was caught cheating on her — right before she gave birth to now 3-year-old daughter True in 2018.

“I remember when he cheated on me right before I gave birth, and I was able to still have him in the delivery room. So yes, it might have looked strange to the outside world, but when my daughter watches my home videos, those videos are going to be as pure and perfect as I was able to make them,” she said.

How Kravis Turned Romantic

“It’s so funny when we think about, like, 'This is us. Can you believe it? We’re, like, Kourtney and Travis, who are friends,'” Kourtney told Roberts. “I felt like deep down, if we looked into each other’s eyes and made it, you know, physical, that it would just be over.”

Where Kris Stands With Caitlyn

“We’re fine. We’re friends, I see her when she’s at a family thing. It’s, you know, settled down a lot,” Kris said of her current status with ex Caitlyn Jenner.

Of the former athlete’s transition, Kris added, “It’s a subject that I never thought I’d have to directly deal with, confront, be understanding about something I didn’t understand.”

Khloe on Body Image

"My whole life I would say — I've always wanted my nose done, forever. But it's in the middle of your face and it's scary to think about. But I finally got the courage, and I did it, and I love it,” Khloé told Roberts while discussing body image.

During a Twitter Q&A after the special aired, the Good American cofounder said her “only regret” is she didn’t go under the knife sooner. “I got it a couple weeks before True‘s first birthday. Love it!” she tweeted.

Kim on Work Comment

After coming under fire for her “advice for women in business" — telling Variety last month, "It seems like nobody wants to work these days. You have to surround yourself with people that wanna work” — Kim claimed the remark was taken out of context.

“It became a sound bite really with no context. And that sound bite came off the notion and the question right before which was, ‘After 20 years of being in the business, you’re famous for being famous.’ My whole tone and attitude changed with the previous question that went into that question about what advice would you give to women,” she told Roberts. “It wasn’t a blanket statement towards women or to feel like I don’t respect the work or think that they don’t work hard,” she said. “I know that they do. It was taken out of context, but I’m really sorry if it was received that way."
