Kanye has 'moved out' amid split rumours

It's been widely reported that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are set to call it quits on their relationship.

But OK magazine has published new claims that Kanye may have already moved out of the family home.

The publication notes that it's been 47 days since the couple were seen in public together. According to a source close to the couple, "Kanye is back living in his Hollywood Hills bachelor pad."

The couple have yet to officially announce a split, but a source close to the stars reveals that the pair are trying to make the situation as easy as possible for their two kids North, 3 and Saint, 1.

Recently, Kim has been left with all the responsibility of attending events for their kids' clothing brand The Kids Supply, and has been avoiding questions about her husband, only mentioning his name in regards to their fashion collaboration.

The source tells OK that Kanye hasn't been to his Los Angeles home since early this month and has been staying at a retreat in Wyoming 1200km's away from the family home.

Between Kim's Paris robbery and Kanye's mental breakdown last year, things have been tough for the stars, and a family insider tells NW that although they were desperate to make it work, they just can't fake it anymore.

"She's had these papers drawn up for a long time, since well before Kanye's mental breakdown in November," the source told the publication.

"Things between them really weren't great and she was preparing to end it."

NW claims that Kim has already spoken to her divorce lawyer Laura Wasser to start the legal proceedings.

However the publication reported that momager Kris doesn't want Kim to give up just yet, as she wants to use Kim's martial problems to lift up ratings for Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

The source continued, "He's [Kanye] lost all his credibility and status and I'm is convinced it's going to tank her stock too. She feels like she has no choice but to walk away before this marriage destroys her."
