Luckily for Kardashian, she listened and didn’t take one of her rings – the original one he proposed with – to Paris with her.

She described it as “the most important” one. 

“Kanye saw it and he goes, ‘Don’t you ever wear both of your rings at the same time. Are you looking to get robbed?'” she said.

She added about the saved ring: “That one, I’m gonna give to Northy [daughter North West], because she was with me when I got engaged and she held it after and I took a photo and she was just, like, a few months old.”

The pair were married in 2014 but filed for divorce in 2021. Her marriage to Kanye was her third.

Kardashian and West, who settled their divorce in 2022, share four children; North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.
