American reality TV star and business mogul Kim Kardashian has opened up about her recent health scare, revealing that she was diagnosed with a small brain aneurysm following a medical scan.

Gossip News Now reports that the revelation came during the Season 7 premiere of The Kardashians, which aired on Thursday.

The 45-year-old SKIMS founder shared the emotional news with her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, explaining that doctors discovered the aneurysm during a recent MRI scan.

According to Kim, her medical team suggested that the condition may be linked to emotional stress, particularly stemming from her high-profile separation and divorce from rapper Kanye West.

The reality star admitted that the discovery has taken a mental toll, revealing that she now feels “more stressed” as she focuses on protecting her four children — North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

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

Kardashian added that her primary concern since learning about her condition has been maintaining a sense of normalcy and security for her children, despite her personal struggles.

Kim and Kanye West were married in 2014, and their divorce was finalized in 2024 after years of public controversies and custody battles. The former couple share four children aged between six and twelve.

While Kardashian did not disclose whether she would undergo further medical treatment, she noted that she remains under close observation by her doctors and is determined to stay strong for her family.
