The Reason Kanye West Still Calls Kim Kardashian His Wife

Kim Kardashian pulled the plug on her union with Kanye West in February after just seven years of marriage. A series of events — including Kanye's troubled appearance at a campaign rally in South Carolina, in which he made some shocking admissions about their marriage — contributed to the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star to make some serious changes in her life, as TK reported. And although they've managed to keep things as amicable as possible, with Kim even attending a few of Kanye's "Donda" listening parties in Atlanta and Chicago, she admitted during the final "KUWTK" reunion special that the split was inevitable. "I honestly don't think I would even say it here on TV, but it was not like, one specific thing that happened on either part. I think it was just a general difference of opinions on a few things that led to this decision," she said, according to Refinery29.

Kim has hinted that she has moved on from their marriage, as there are even reports of a possible romance between her and "Saturday Night Live" star Pete Davidson, per People. But Kanye isn't done calling Kim his "wife" just yet, and his reasoning might pull on your heartstrings.

Somewhat surprisingly, Kanye West is still calling Kim Kardashian his "wife" in public, doing so in a candid November 4 interview with Revolt TV's "Drink Champs." Kanye also made the heartbreaking admission that their four children — North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm — still want to see their parents together. Explaining that he still "wants to be" with his reality television star wife, Kanye said, "I never even seen the papers. We're not even divorced."

Kanye also made it no secret that he didn't appreciate the "Saturday Night Live" writers supposedly making Kim say, "I divorced him," during her October appearance on the show, as they technically aren't divorced yet. "That ain't no joke to me," he stated. When hosting "SNL," Kim also appeared as Jasmine while Pete Davidson was Aladdin in a skit portraying the classic Disney film. While in character, Pete shared some of his concerns about taking the next step with Kim's Jasmine character before they shared a passionate kiss. So does that make Kanye the Jafar character in this story? Well, considering the divorce isn't official yet, he may still have a chance of being Kim's Aladdin.
