Kim Kardashian’s divorce continues to be a hot topic and now speculations suggest she was jealous of the relationship between her daughter and Kayne West’s new wife Bianca Censori.
The latest reports surfaced after rumours stated that Kanye and Kim’s daughter, North West and Bianca Censori have seemingly built a close relationship, being seen holding hands together recently at Kayne’s 46th birthday bash and chatting happily together on a trip to Japan.
While Bianca has clearly received approval from her stepdaughter, a source told Star Magazine that Kim is not at all happy with their increasing closeness. “It gets under Kim’s skin,” they revealed.
As per Natalie Costa, a children’s confidence and parent coach and the founder of the London-based organization Power Thoughts, the feelings of jealousy that Kim has harboured towards North and Bianca’s relationship are quite common among separated parents.
“Whilst you naturally want your child to be happy, be safe, and to get along with their new stepparents, it is also normal if feelings of jealousy arise,” Natalie told The U.S. Sun.
“Jealousy comes from a space of fear and worry that something will be taken away from us. It comes from a protective space - wanting to protect what’s important to you,” she added.
Meanwhile, a source close to Kim Kardashian had previously revealed that Kanye’s marriage to Bianca has thrown “another wrench” in the works.
“Feeling jealousy is not a bad thing,” Natalie continued, “What is important, is how we respond in these situations, versus getting carried away by our feelings.”
Natalie also maintained that Kim needs to keep her feelings to herself and project them onto North, or her three other children with Kanye. She warned, “We don’t want to be putting our children in the middle of how we are feeling about the situation. This can lead to feelings of guilt or anxiety within our children if they feel that they can’t enjoy the company of their stepparent.”
The Power Thoughts founder added, "We need to allow these feelings within ourselves and have the support to work through them, but without extending this to our children.”
In regards to co-parenting, it means that you put the feelings of your children first and from the looks of it, Kim Kardashian appears to be doing it all right. But she may be feeling that her bond with her kids, in particular North, is becoming strained, which is something many separated parents can feel.
However, it does not mean that her kids value or love her any less.
The 40-year-old children’s confidence and parent coach explained, “You are always going to be their parent, and nobody can replace that. Try to look at the positives of the situation – that your child has another adult in their lives who they have a positive relationship with, versus a negative one, which would be much harder to navigate.”
“We can’t control all aspects of the situation,” Natalie pointed out. “But we can focus on how we respond, the thoughts we choose to pay attention to, and what we say and do."
Natalie also suggested, "Kim should focus on what she does have influence over versus what she can’t influence. If she feels uncomfortable about something, having a conversation, from a space of collaboration is important.”
Natalie has also advised that Kim should go easy on herself.
