American star Kim Kardashian, 44, suffered a brain aneurysm which, according to her, “reportedly caused by the stress of his controversial 2022 divorce from rapper Kanye West”.

“It’s like a little aneurysm”the 45-year-old businesswoman can be heard saying as she appears to be undergoing a CT scan, writes Agerpres.
After the aneurysm was detected, Kim told her family members that “it would have been caused by stress”.
It was unclear if the star had shown any symptoms. Kardashian’s agent, publicist and lawyer did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
A cerebral aneurysm is a bulge or dilatation (sac) in a blood vessel in the brain, being relatively common and not always requiring treatment. Although stress does not cause this disease, it can indirectly influence the factors that increase the risk of suffering an aneurysm.
In 2021, Kim filed for divorce from Kanye West after almost seven years of marriage, according to American media. The information was announced for the first time by the website TMZ, coming after months of rumors about the problems the two had in their marriage.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had their first child, a girl, North, in 2013. They then got married in 2014 and had three more children: Saint, Chicago and Psalm. According to TMZ, the divorce would be an amicable one, with Kanye West agreeing that his partner of the last seven years should keep custody of the children.
