American media mogul and reality star Kim Kardashian has revealed that doctors discovered a small aneurysm in her brain, a condition she says may be linked to emotional stress from her highly publicised divorce from rapper Kanye West.

Kardashian made the disclosure during the premiere episode of “The Kardashians” Season 7, which aired on Thursday.

Speaking to her sister Kourtney Kardashian, the 45-year-old SKIMS founder said the diagnosis came after undergoing a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.

“They found a little aneurysm in my brain,” Kim shared during the episode, adding that the discovery was emotionally overwhelming.

She hinted that years of public scrutiny and the strain of protecting her children from negative attention may have contributed to the condition.

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

Kardashian finalised her divorce from Kanye West in 2024 after a decade-long marriage that began in 2014. The pair share four children — North (12), Saint (9), Chicago (7), and Psalm (6).
