News reports coming out of the US claim that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may be separating.

Media Takeout say the pair have been FIGHTING recently – mostly about the amount and the degree of the publicity that Kim and he have been receiving.

A source close to Kanye told MediaTakeOut.com last week that at Kardashian’s baby shower, things came to a head.

“Kanye is really trying to give Kim everything she wants. He knows how much [her show] means to her, and he loves her so much that he’s supporting her on it. But that’s not who he is.” The insider continued, “[Kanye] is not the type of [dude] who wants the cameras around everything he does, but that’s who Kim is.”

Kardashian is expected to give birth next month.

Media Takeout reports:

We’re told that Kanye left Kim in Los Angeles shortly after the baby shower. And it’s not clear if he plans on returning.

The pressure from the CAMERAS isn’t the only issue. Kanye’s facing a great deal of public scrutiny over his upcoming album. The insider told MediaTakeOut.com, “Kanye is now in Hawaii, I think he’s working on music. But I also think it’s over for him and Kim.”
