Reality star Kim Kardashian broke down in tears during a recent podcast discussing the struggles of co-parenting with her ex-husband Kanye West. However, she stressed that she often prays with her children because she wants them to have the most “normal” lives possible.

On the “Angie Martinez IRL Podcast,” the 42-year-old mother of four and star of the E! reality series “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” detailed that not only does she make conversations with God a priority in her own life but has taught her children the value of talking with God.

“I pray every night with my kids. Even if I’m, you know, out of town, they have to call me, and we say our prayers together over FaceTime,” she said, referring to her children North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. Her children expect her to pray with them regularly, Kardashian noted.

“They just like that,” she said. “They can’t go to bed without that.” Kardashian, the ex-wife of the controversial rapper, said maintaining quiet time to connect with God is necessary, and there’s always something to pray for. “Health and happiness and calmness, sometimes,” Kardashian said, describing her prayer list.  “Calmness is my superpower. [But], Sometimes, I need a little bit of help in that area.”

Having been married three times, Kardashian, who calls herself a “hopeless romantic,” said she still has not lost faith in God to lead her to someone who she can love romantically. “I believe in God, love, faith in all of it, and He will bring me, my perfect person,” she declared.

Kardashian said she is grateful to God for her ability to manage stress well, even when facing some problematic life hurdles. “I think it’s fascinating that there is a lot of negative hate and energy towards my family because we all really mind our own business. We’re all just obsessed with each other, and we’re like a super close family,” Kardashian said.

“I don’t know where that energy came from or where that started from. But, yet, we definitely are held responsible for a lot of things that aren’t even us.” Kardashian said she has felt some separation from “negative energy” since she filed for divorce nearly two years ago from West, who legally changed his name to Ye. “I started to slowly feel that separation. But, you know, I think that [hateful energy from the public] will always follow me,” she said.

Kardashian said that one of the most important things to her is protecting her children from exposure to public hatred. “In my home, my kids don’t know anything that goes on [in] the outside world. I’ve managed. I’m holding them by a thread. I’m like 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,” Kardashian said.

“My kids don’t know anything. At school, my best friends are the teachers. So, I know what goes on at recess. I know what goes on at lunchtime. I know what’s being talked about. None of the kids have ever said anything to my kids.”

While many Christians may not agree with some of Kardashian’s past actions or lifestyle choices, Kardashian said in the podcast that she has matured over the years. She said everything is not about her satisfaction anymore but her trying to help others.
