Kanye will ‘never’ marry Kim

Kanye West will "never" marry Kim Kardashian, sources claim.

According to Radar Online, the 36-year-old rapper wants a "modern" relationship with the reality star, who gave birth to their daughter North in June, and prefers the idea of them as "partners" rather than husband and wife.

The insider said: "Kanye is telling friends that he’ll never marry Kim.

"He has no need or desire to make their relationship official in the eyes of the law … Kanye prefers the idea of them as ‘partners’.

"He sees marriage as outdated and he’s all about embracing the modern and the new. He doesn’t feel like he has to marry Kim just because they have a [daughter] together."

And the insider claims that Kardashian is happy to go along with West’s wishes.

The souce said: "Kim feels like she’s been there, done that when it comes to a big, splashy wedding.

"She used to be so much more into the fame game, but now that she’s drifting away from the family and trying to do her own thing, she’s becoming more adamant about doing things on her own terms and keeping it low-key.

"It took her a while to learn the value of privacy, and to abandon the idea of another over-the-top wedding, but she’s getting there thanks to Kanye’s influence."

Some things will never change though – Kardashian shared this racy snap of herself on her Instagram page!
