MUMBAI: Just hours ago, the SKIMS founder Kim Kardashian asked the public to offer their "compassion and empathy," as the 43-year-old rapper continues to struggles with bipolar disorder.

In a series of tweets, that have since been deleted, West made several comments about Kim, Kris Jenner and other celebrities. He also claimed he's "been trying" to divorce his wife of six years.

Kim Kardashian's "heart hurts" for Kanye West.

In light of Kanye's recent posts, a source tells! News the longtime couple is "spending time apart for now."

"[Kim] is still in Los Angeles and [Kanye] is staying in Wyoming. He hasn't seen the kids in a week. Kim has been trying to fly to Wyoming to get Kanye help and he is refusing it," the insider shares. "She wants to help him and has been trying for over a month now. Kanye's behavior has progressively gotten worse."

According to the source, Kourtney Kardashian has been taking care of North West, 7, and Saint West, 4, so the KKW Beauty founder can "deal with the situation at home."

It's unclear if Chicago West, 2, and Psalm West, 14 months, are also staying with Kourtney, however, the source says they too are protected from the situation. "Kim doesn't want the kids knowing an ounce of this situation or seeing their dad in that light," the insider explains.
