American reality TV star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian has revealed that she was recently diagnosed with a small brain aneurysm.

The 45-year-old SKIMS founder made the disclosure during the season premiere of The Kardashians Season 7 on Thursday.

In an emotional conversation with her sister Kourtney Kardashian, Kim explained that the aneurysm was discovered during a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. She linked the health scare to intense emotional stress following her highly publicized split from rapper Kanye West.

“I feel more stressed probably just because I have to protect my kids. Everyone around can handle, but I just want to protect my babies,” Kim said.

Kim and Kanye, who married in 2014, officially finalized their divorce in 2024. The former couple share four children — North (12), Saint (9), Chicago (7), and Psalm (6).

Fans have since expressed concern and sent messages of support to the reality star, who continues to balance her busy career with parenting and health recovery.
