American reality star and business mogul Kim Kardashian has revealed that she was recently diagnosed with a small brain aneurysm.
The 45-year-old SKIMS founder disclosed this during the premiere episode of “The Kardashians” Season 7, which aired on Thursday.
While speaking with her sister Kourtney Kardashian, Kim opened up about the health scare, explaining that the aneurysm was discovered during a routine MRI scan.
She described the experience as emotionally overwhelming, linking the condition to the stress she endured following her high-profile divorce from rapper Kanye West.

“They found a little aneurysm in my brain,” Kim said during the conversation. “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.”
According to medical experts, a brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain, which can be life-threatening if it ruptures.
However, Kim did not indicate that her condition had reached a severe stage, suggesting it was detected early.
The reality star and entrepreneur hinted that emotional pressure and mental strain might have contributed to the diagnosis, especially following years of public scrutiny and personal challenges related to her marriage and separation.
Kim and Kanye West, who tied the knot in 2014, officially finalized their divorce in 2024 after a long and highly publicized legal battle. The former couple share four children, North (12), Saint (9), Chicago (7), and Psalm (6).
Despite their split, Kim has often spoken about her determination to maintain a healthy co-parenting relationship for the sake of their children.
