While Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are both extremely successful in Hollywood, the former A-list couple always puts their kids first. The KKW Beauty mogul and rapper welcomed four children — daughter North West, son Saint West, daughter Chicago West and son Psalm West — over the course of their six-year marriage. Keep reading to learn more about Kim and Kanye’s kids!
Are Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Still Married?
In February 2021, Kim filed for divorce from Kanye after nearly eight years as a couple. Prior to the filing, the Skims founder was “really trying to keep the peace” and “remain on amicable terms” for the “sake of the kids,” a source told Life & Style in early January 2021.

“Kanye is a good father, and Kim wants him to be a prominent figure in the kids’ lives,” the insider added. “She’s hoping this will all roll out as smoothly as possible.”
Prior to the pair’s marital woes, Kim made it clear she and Kanye were done growing their family. “I love my babies so much but four is all I can handle with how busy I am, and each one of my babies needs so much attention,” the E! personality explained during an August 2019 Q&A on Instagram.
“Kim and Kanye feel like their family is complete,” a separate source previously told Life & Style. “Kim carried her two eldest children but went the surrogacy route when it came to Chicago and Psalm. She used her last embryo with Psalm.”
More than one year after their split, Kim admitted that coparenting with Kanye was “really f–king hard” as the rapper has publicly slammed her.
“In my home, my kids don’t know anything that’s going on in the outside world,” Kim said during a December 2022 interview on the “Angie Martinez IRL Podcast.” “I’m holding on by a thread, I know I’m like so close to that not happening but while it’s still that way, I will protect that to the ends of the earth as long as I can.”
What Is Kim Kardashian’s Parenting Style?
After becoming a single mom, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star relies on a strict routine to keep her kiddos in line. “Everything is like super planned out,” Kim told sister Kylie Jenner in a January 2020 YouTube video. “I’m like really, really organized. I think that’s the key to being successful honestly, is being organized. It’s hard. It’s a lot of work. But you can totally do it.”
Even so, things can still get a bit out of control. During a February 2020 appearance on Good Morning America, Kim revealed her daughter Chicago fell out of her high chair and had to get stitches. Thankfully, the adorable toddler ended up being OK.
Kim supports her kiddos to dive into their talents and creativity. North, for instance, loves to practice costume makeup and has even done her mom’s glam.
During Kim’s appearance on the “Angie Martinez IRL Podcast,” she revealed that North has a skill that has been sent down from her A-list musically inclined father.
“The other day, we’re just in the car and she puts on these beats, with no words or lyrics and she just sits in the car,” the beauty mogul explained, noting that North even likes to freestyle. “She could, for hours, just rap over the beats. So, I press record on my phone so that one day she’ll hear it and it’ll be so cute.”
When it comes to envisioning her children’s future careers, Kim just wants them “to be happy in what they do.”

A memorable performance. While many Super Bowls have showcased entertaining and jaw-dropping halftime concerts, few have spurred as much discussion as Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake’s joint effort at the Super Bowl XXXVIII.
During the February 2004 number, the two music stars performed chart-topping hits for the enthusiastic crowd until the now-infamous wardrobe malfunction occurred. At the time, the former ‘NSync crooner ripped off a piece of the “Rhythm Nation” songstress’ costume, revealing her mostly uncovered breast. Since the athletic event is seen by millions each year, broadcasters were notably upset, leading to a lengthy investigation and censorship changes.
Shortly after the wardrobe malfunction occurred, both musicians were shocked during the broadcast before the televised gig cut to commercial. However, days later, fans and critics alike speculated what really happened and who was actually to blame.
“The tearing of Janet Jackson’s costume was unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional and was inconsistent with assurances we had about the content of the performance,” MTV wrote in a February 2004 statement. “MTV regrets this incident occurred and we apologize to anyone who was offended by it.”
Jackson, for her part, opened up in her own statement one day later.
“The decision to have a costume reveal at the end of my halftime show performance was made after final rehearsals,” the Indiana native said at the time. “MTV was completely unaware of it. It was not my intention that it go as far as it did. I apologize to anyone offended — including the audience, MTV, CBS and the NFL.”
Years later, following the success of their The New York Times Presents: Framing Britney Spears documentary discussing Britney Spears’ conservatorship battle, its filmmakers dove into the Super Bowl scandal next with Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson.
“In 2004, a culture war was brewing when the Super Bowl halftime show audience saw a white man expose a Black woman’s breast for 9/16ths of a second. A national furor ensued,” a press release for the documentary read. “‘If the culture wars could have a 9/11, it’s February 1st, 2004,’ said one observer. The woman was Janet Jackson, and her career was never the same. The man was Justin Timberlake; his stardom only grew.”
The program aimed to chronicle the 2004 incident, noting how the Poetic Justice star’s career never fully recovered whereas the Tennessee native’s continued to flourish, as well as touching on the racial and cultural implications of the event. The filmmakers weaved together rare footage from the time and interviews with executives from both the NFL and MTV to break down the now-infamous event.
Meanwhile, Jackson later shared more insight into the incident in Janet, a two-night documentary event, which premiered on Lifetime and A&E on January 28, 2022.

With so many talented musicians and artists, you may be wondering who has the most Grammy awards in history? The record is held by the late conductor Georg Solti with 31 awards, but the top 13 — which includes Beyoncé, Quincy Jones and U2 — aren’t trailing too far behind!
Georg’s last Grammy win was in 1997. He not only holds the record for most awards “won in any genre,” but “he has the most wins in the Classical Field,” according to the award show’s official website. His first win came in 1962 and his categories included opera, choral and classical. That’s an amazing legacy, but there are other amazing performers who have their eye on dethroning Georg as the reigning Grammys champ.

Quincy, for example, has a whopping 28 Grammys under his belt. His wins span “more than 10 Fields, from Children’s to Jazz, Pop, Rap, R&B and more.” His most recent win was for his documentary Quincy, which took home Best Music Film at the 61st Grammy Awards in 2019.
In 2021, Beyonce matched his record by taking home her 28th award for Best R&B Performance for “The Black Parade.” This made her the most decorated woman in history, as well as the artist with the most wins.
As of 2023, she’s been nominated a whopping 88 times (yes, you read that right) and is currently tied with her husband, Jay-Z, as the most nominated artists of all time. She was nominated for nine awards at the 63rd Grammy Awards in 2021 and also took home trophies for Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance and Best Music Video. Meanwhile, she earned nine nominations at the 2023 awards show.
Country and bluegrass artist Alison Krauss was the previous female leader with 27 Grammys. She shares 14 of her awards with her band, Union Station. Composer Chick Corea — who has the most jazz Grammy wins ever — has 27 trophies, while conductor Pierre Boulez has 26 and was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015. The late pianist Vladimir Horowitz comes next with 25.
Tied with 25 wins is Stevie Wonder. The “Isn’t She Lovely” singer is “the only artist in Grammy history to win five or more awards on three separate nights.” John Williams, the genius behind the soundtracks of famous films like Jaws and Star Wars, also has 25 wins under his belt.

U2 currently has 22 awards, with the Bono-led band winning the most wins for a “rock act.” Jay-Z follows closely behind with 21 awards, Jay-Z has the same amount, and got most of them through the rap and R&B categories, but did win Best Music Video for his “Suit and Tie” collab with Justin Timberlake.
Other notable names on the winner’s list include rapper Kanye West and country crooner Vince Gill, who have both won 21 awards. Bruce Springsteen deserves an honorable mention with 20 Grammys and Aretha Franklin and Paul McCartney follow with 18.
It’s amazing to see the incredible record-holding talent that has won through the years. Time will tell what other artists climb the list!

The season 3 couple’s three-bedroom, two-bathroom condominium is currently on the market for $575,000 and was listed by Loren’s mom, Marlene Goldstone, in October 2022.
The 1,430 square feet property sits on the 9th floor, is completely renovated and features a plush wrap-around balcony, offering coastal views from almost every room in the house.
Along with upgraded appliances, the housing complex features a tennis court, gym and a relaxing pool right alongside an intracoastal waterway.
Loren, 34, and her mother bumped heads during season 2 of the couple’s spinoff show Loren & Alexei: After the 90 Days, when she first heard the news that the couple was considering moving to Israel.
“Alexei and I agree that it’s important for our kids to experience where [he] is from to understand the culture,” Loren said during a joint confessional during a December 2022 episode. “But it’s a complete change, it’s not moving to a different state where you still understand American culture. You’re moving around the world to a completely different culture.”
While Loren’s parents immediately rejected the idea, her father, Bryan Goldstone, expressed his concerns over custody if the couple split.
“I think you should know the custody laws in Israel. Israel is a very modern country,” Bryan said during a January 2023 episode. “It’s also a Middle Eastern country with archaic laws and things, and who would have the right to those children? You have to find out, would you even be allowed to take the children back out of the county? Cause that’s a real possibility in the Mideast.”

A legal expert exclusively told In Touch that same month that a move to Israel “would not be advisable” for Loren due to the country’s “difficult” custody laws. “If Loren and Alexei would happen to get divorced there, Loren is using their laws and system so they will use Israel’s custody laws,” Kathleen Martinez, repped by Dominique Enchinton of Dominton Talent House, explained. “Divorcing there and going through custody proceedings would not be advisable if she were my client.”
After Loren and Alexei traveled to Israel alongside their kids and Loren’s parents, the TLC couple told both of their parents that they were considering moving — leading to a blowout fight between Loren and Marlene.
“You really underestimate me as a person. You said to them, ‘I don’t think she’s capable of living here,’” Loren tearfully told her mom. “You also say I don’t have a backbone. You basically think I’m a doormat.”
As of January 2023, In Touch can confirm the couple is still currently residing in Florida.
Reps for Loren and Alexei did not immediately respond to In Touch’s request for comment.

Kratom is a natural supplement rapidly increasing in popularity — and it’s not hard to see why.
The plant — a member of the coffee family — has been linked to numerous health and wellness benefits, including boosting energy, promoting relaxation and easing the symptoms of chronic pain conditions.
Like many other supplements, the kratom market is becoming ever busier with products promising miracle benefits. So, how do you know that you’re buying from a reputable kratom retailer and not a company that promises far more than it can deliver?
We’ve investigated dozens of kratom retailers looking for the best kratom products the market has to offer.
So, if you’re interested in introducing kratom into your supplement regimen in 2023, keep reading to find out more about the plant, its benefits and some of our favorite kratom products.
What is Kratom?
An evergreen tree of the coffee family, kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) has been used as a traditional medicine across Asia for centuries due to its pain-easing and stress-relieving qualities. It’s only been in the last decade or so that kratom has made its way to the wellness market, but it is rapidly growing in popularity.
At lower doses, users report kratom has a stimulant effect, while at higher doses it’s believed to act as a sedative. Several strains of the therapeutic plant are used for supplements, having varied chemical makeups, which may elicit different effects:
Maeng da kratom: Originating from Thailand, this potent strain comes in white, green and red varieties.
White vein kratom: Believed to increase focus and cognition, as well as boost mood and energy, white vein kratom is native to Indonesia.
Yellow vein kratom: The result of drying white vein kratom in a specific way, yellow vein kratom is reported to be a powerful energy booster.
Red vein kratom: Sourced primarily from Bali, this kratom variety is associated with soothing benefits, including an improved sense of well-being and reduced stress.
Green vein kratom: Depending on how much and when it’s taken, green vein kratom can both enhance energy levels and help relieve stress.
The active compounds of kratom are the alkaloids 7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine. Evidence suggests that these nitrogen-rich compounds interact with opioid receptors in the brain and nervous system, which may help with pain relief and promote relaxation, making it a popular alternative treatment for chronic pain conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia.
Once harvested, the green leaves are dried, then crushed or powdered. You can find kratom in a wide variety of supplements including as a simple powder, or as capsules, tablets, pastes, shots and even teas.
Benefits of Using Kratom
Kratom has been used for hundreds of years all across Asia as a natural remedy to treat the likes of fatigue, pain and stomach complaints. While more studies are needed, research has provided some support to these traditional medicine claims.
Pain relief: All strains of kratom have been associated with pain-relieving effects — particularly neuropathic pain — believed to be the result of the plant’s active compounds binding with opioid receptors. While kratom interacts with opioid receptors much like morphine and codeine it’s considered an atypical opioid. This means it selectively inactivates certain signals, which may explain why the side effects of kratom are more tolerable than typical opioids.
Improving mood: Studies suggest that kratom can inspire a positive state of mind, causing an improved sense of well-being. Mitragynine from kratom binds to opioid receptors in the brain responsible for mood regulation, which can reduce anxiety and relieve the symptoms of depression.
Boosting energy: Kratom users often report increased energy levels. This could be in part due to kratom’s ability to boost blood circulation, which means more oxygen is transported to the cells. This enables the cells to metabolize nutrients more quickly to boost energy.
Treating opioid withdrawal symptoms: Kratom has opioid-like effects, but unlike them, it’s only a partial opioid agonist. This makes it useful in opioid addiction treatment as it provides a similar sensation to opioid drugs without the severe comedown.
Other potential health and wellness benefits of kratom include suppressing appetite, boosting libido, promoting relaxation, improving focus and enhancing cognition.
Where to Buy Kratom in 2023
As an increasingly popular supplement, Kratom is becoming more widely available in the likes of health food stores and vape stores. The easiest place to buy kratom is specialty stores, where you’ll be able to find multiple strains and several formulations all in one place.
We’ve researched dozens of online kratom brands to find the best kratom product selection to put a spring in your step in 2023.
The Green Maeng Da Kratom Powder from Super Speciosa is made from 100% kratom leaves and nothing else. This strain of kratom is associated with a number of health benefits including boosting energy, improving focus and promoting relaxation.
Whether you’re new to kratom or a seasoned user, this powder is a great option since you can mix it in your favorite beverages and use as much as you’d personally need. Just start with one teaspoon of the powder and adjust accordingly.
Super Speciosa tested every batch of their powdered kratom to verify potency and to make sure they are free of heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides and any other impurities. Check the results for yourself by scanning the QR code on the product packaging.
For a quick hit of kratom goodness on the go, you can’t go wrong with the Formula 2 Extract Shot from Kingdom Kratom. Ideal for a burst of energy right when you need it, each shot has the equivalent of 6-8g of kratom powder in a handy 10mL vial.
Kingdom Kratom sources its kratom from the best Indonesian organic farmers to make sure you’re getting the freshest and consistently high-quality products. All of the brand’s kratom is tested for potency and contaminants, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
Boosting a high potency of 45% mitragynine extract, the Gold Capsules from MIT45 offer a convenient kratom experience, whenever you are feeling a little sluggish pre-workout or looking for a post-exercise boost to your recovery.
Each capsule is turbo-charged with white pepper, turmeric and ginger, which may boost the anti-inflammatory properties of kratom, as well as provide some additional benefits, such as boosting immunity and pain relief.
All MIT45 products are thoroughly third-party lab tested to ensure they are as advertised in terms of potency, and are free of contaminants and toxins.
For those wanting to get the most out of their day, the Green Maeng Da Kratom Powder from JustKratom is an excellent choice. Although it is a milder strain, through the use of natural grafting techniques, Maeng Da was created to embody the best of several kratom strains in one, making it a popular option for beginners.
Kratom powder is a versatile supplement. It dissolves well, so it can be added to your favorite drinks, stirred through hot soup, or even sprinkled over pasta. It can be combined with food and moderate amounts of alcohol, but the effects of kratom powder will be slightly delayed.
Green Maeng Da is available in bags of 30g, 60g, 150g or 1/2 kilo or 1 kilo, and each batch of powders is third-party tested to ensure purity and safety. If you’re not a big fan of powdered supplements, JustKratom’s Green Maeng Da Kratom is also available in capsule form.
The Red Smash Kratom Powder from Top Extracts is a blend of three different kratom strains — Red Bali, Red Horn and a dark fermented red variety of the plant — to get the maximum benefits possible.
A full serving may help you experience a sense of warmth and calm, while a low serving is believed to have a mild stimulant effect.
Top Extracts source their kratom from small-scale, local farmers from Indonesia and once it’s imported it goes through a rigorous round of heavy metal, microbial, and DNA tests before it reaches the manufacturing facility. The powder is tested once again in third-party labs, so you can be sure you’re getting a safe product.
Not any old kratom product will do. We set strict criteria that needed to be met for a kratom product to secure a spot on our list.
Kratom Source
The finest quality kratom comes from the best farms. Therefore, we only considered brands that disclose the source of their kratom and have a long-standing relationship with farmers. We favored brands that source their kratom from fair trade and organic growers.
Natural Ingredients
We prioritized brands that created their kratom products using all-natural formulations – no additives, no bulking agents, and no artificial colors or flavors, just 100% pure kratom leaf powder.
Independent Lab Testing
From a kratom product to make our list, independent lab testing for purity and potency was an absolute must. The certificate of analysis (COA), which shows the results of testing, should be available for customers to view either on the website or via a QR code on the packaging.
The COA should verify that the kratom concentration is as advertised and that the product is free of contaminants, such as pesticides, heavy metals and potentially harmful microbes.
Although further research is needed, there is evidence that long-term, regular users of kratom are at risk of developing a dependency on the plant extract. Regular exposure to kratom increases the body’s tolerance to the plant’s active compounds, meaning more and more is needed to experience the same effects. Eventually, this can lead to dependency.
The risk for kratom dependence is highest in people who consume more than 5 grams per day, more than 5 times a day. If these people suddenly stop taking kratom they’re likely to experience mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability, mood swings, nausea, insomnia, stiff joints, muscle pain and runny nose.
How to Take Kratom Safely
Due to tolerance and dependency issues, the FDA has warned against the dangers of using kratom and therefore, there are no guidelines for its safe usage as a dietary supplement. This means we can’t make recommendations for kratom use and stress that people considering taking the supplement do so at their own risk.
That being said, we can suggest some things you can do to reduce your risk of side effects, tolerance, and dependency when you start taking kratom.
Start with a low dose
With kratom it’s wise to start with a low dose to help minimize your risk of side effects and to ensure that you tolerate it well. Plus, you should only increase your kratom dose if absolutely necessary.
Only take kratom when needed
You can reduce your risk of kratom tolerance and dependency if you only take it when needed as opposed to daily. For example, if you’re using it to improve your stamina in the gym, only take it before workouts, or if you’re using kratom for its soothing properties, could you just take it to help you relax on stressful days?
Avoid when pregnant or breastfeeding
While further studies are needed, research indicates that kratom use during pregnancy can lead to low birth weight babies and kratom dependence in newborns. Therefore, kratom is best avoided while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Consult your doctor
Kratom is not suitable as a supplement for people with certain health conditions including epilepsy, heart issues, substance use disorder, and some mental health problems.
Furthermore, kratom interacts with certain medications — including some sedatives, antidepressants and therapies for opioid dependency — which can change the effects and side effects of these medications. Consequently, you should speak to your doctor if you’re considering kratom supplementation.
FAQs:
Is kratom the same as CBD?
Kratom and CBD are both plant extracts that are associated with similar therapeutic benefits, including reducing anxiety, easing pain, and improving sleep quality. However, the compounds responsible for these benefits are different.
CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is responsible for maintaining balance in numerous body systems. Whereas, the therapeutic alkaloids of kratom interact with the opioid system in the brain and nervous system to promote certain benefits.
When it comes to side effects, those of CBD are milder than those of kratom. Additionally, it’s only long-term use of kratom that can lead to increased tolerance and dependency.
Can I take kratom every day?
Kratom exposure every day is likely to increase your tolerance over time. This means that you’ll gradually need a higher and higher dose to achieve the same effect. This can result in kratom having no noticeable effect on sleep, pain, or energy levels, and eventually, dependency.
To reduce your risk of tolerance and dependency, take the lowest dose of kratom you can and only take it when needed. If you’re worried about kratom tolerance, you can do a kratom cleanse by stopping taking the supplement for a few days. This will flush kratom out of your system.
Will kratom make me high?
Some regular kratom users claim that in higher doses, kratom has a similar effect to opioids. This is likely due to 7-hydroxymitragynine – one of the main therapeutic compounds in kratom – binding to opioid receptors in the brain.
Kratom is a plant-based supplement that is linked to several health and wellness benefits, including helping you to relax at the end of a hard day and providing you with a burst of energy when you need it. However, more research is needed to fully understand the effects of kratom on the human body.
There are side effects and potential dependency issues associated with kratom use, but your risk can be minimized by taking the supplement responsibly and by talking to your doctor before you start taking it.

Over the past couple of decades, TAO Park City’s pop-up has attracted tons of high-profile guests including Pharell, Maroon 5, 50 Cent, Zoe Kravitz and Lil Jon.
The 2023 Sundance Film Festival – the first in-person festival since 2020 – started on Thursday, January 19 and ends on Saturday, January 29. The program will feature some anticipated films such as Brooke Shield’s documentary Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields, Fair Play which stars Dynevor and Michael J. Fox’sStill.

This year’s celebration did not disappoint and we look forward to coming back next year.”

On season 3 of 90 Day Fiancé, Alexei Brovarnik moved from Israel to be with future-wife Loren Brovarnik (née Goldstone) in her native United States. However, after seven years of living in Florida, the beloved TLC couple considered moving their family from America to Israel on season 2 of their spinoff, Loren & Alexei: After the 90 Days. So where do Loren and Alexei live now? Keep reading to find out everything we know about their current home base.
Where Did Loren and Alexei Live on ‘90 Day Fiance’?
While Loren was living in New York City prior to Alexei’s arrival, the couple moved into her parents’ three-bedroom condo in Florida as the Israel native couldn’t work during the 90-day process and Loren couldn’t afford their lifestyle alone in New York.
“I’m just a little nervous that we’re moving in with them and you’re meeting them for the first time,” Loren told her fiancé during their season 3 debut, which premiered in October 2015. “It’s going to be chaotic and stressful.”
In a private confessional, Loren admitted she was afraid Alexei was going to hate America and there was a possibility of losing him.
The couple ultimately wed in September 2015, and their wedding aired in an episode of season 3. In 2016, the couple got married for a second time in 2016 in Israel, which played out on season 2 of the spinoff 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?

Did ‘90 Day Fiance’ Stars Loren and Alexei Move to Israel?
Loren and Alexei returned for the spinoff Loren & Alexei: After the 90 Days and on season 2, the couple, who was expecting their third child at the time, revealed they were considering relocating to Israel with their sons Shai and Asher. They later welcomed their daughter Ariel in September 2022.
“Alex and I agree that it’s important for our kids to experience where [he] is from to understand the culture,” Loren said during a joint confessional during a December 2022 episode of the spinoff. “But it’s a complete change, it’s not moving to a different state where you still understand American culture. You’re moving around the world to a completely different culture.”
While Loren’s family was less than pleased with the news, her father, Bryan Goldstone, expressed his concerns over custody if the couple split.
“I told Alex that you need to speak to a, it’s not a divorce attorney. A custody attorney. I think you should know the custody laws in Israel. Israel is a very modern country,” Bryan said during a January 2023 episode. “It’s also a Middle Eastern country with archaic laws and things, and who would have the right to those children? You have to find out, would you even be allowed to take the children back out of the county? Cause that’s a real possibility in the Mideast.”
A legal expert exclusively told In Touch in that same month that a move to Israel “would not be advisable” for Loren.
“Israel has some difficult custody laws. If Loren and Alexei would happen to get divorced there, Loren is using their laws and system so they will use Israel’s custody laws,” Kathleen Martinez, repped by Dominique Enchinton of Dominton Talent House, explained. “Divorcing there and going through custody proceedings would not be advisable if she were my client.”
However, the immigration attorney added that Israel’s laws are very intricate and vary on the situation. “Israel employs the Tender Age Doctrine, which is a presumption that for children under 6 years old, it’s in their best interest to be placed with the mother,” she shared. “However, it is possible to appeal this.”
Where 90 Day Fiance’s Do Loren and Alexei Live Now?
Following a major blow-up with Loren’s mom, the couple left their Israel trip without a definite answer on their cross-continental move.
As of January 2023, In Touch can confirm that Loren and Alexei currently reside in Hallandale Beach, Florida.
