Kim Kardashian Reveals She Was Diagnosed with Brain Aneurysm

American reality star and business mogul Kim Kardashian has disclosed that she was recently diagnosed with a small brain aneurysm, a condition doctors discovered during a routine MRI scan.

The 45-year-old SKIMS founder made the revelation during the premiere of The Kardashians Season 7 on Thursday, where she opened up to her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, about the health scare.

Kardashian explained that doctors attributed the aneurysm to the emotional toll and prolonged stress she endured following her high-profile split from rapper Kanye West. The reality star described the experience as frightening but said she remains focused on recovery and protecting her children.

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

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

While Kim did not disclose further details about her treatment, sources close to the star say she is under close medical supervision and has been advised to reduce stress and focus on her well-being.
