Kim Kardashian Westthought of herself as a more independent woman before marryingKanye West.
“I think being with a man like Kanye, you have to learn how to be a little bit not-so-independent,” theKeeping Up with the Kardashiansreality star, 38, said during her appearance on theAlec Baldwin ShowSunday.
“I’ve always been so independent and working, and [had a] schedule, and when you get married and have a husband that has their career and then have kids, your independence … you have to let it go,” Kardashian West said, adding, “I had to learn that being with a man like Kanye.”
The couple, who married in May 2014, shares three children: daughtersNorth, 5, andChicago, 8 months, as well as sonSaint, who turns 3 on Dec. 5.

As of late, the rapper, 41, has been outspoken about his support for PresidentDonald Trump, and has been candid about hispolitical views.
“I think it’s just having an open mind. I love to let my husband be who he is,” the KKW Beauty mogul said. “We definitely have conversations if I don’t understand something in private and talk about that.”
“I grew up in a household where Bruce, my stepdad, had one political view and maybe my real father had a different political view, or my mom,” she said. “We would just always talk about it and be really open about it. It was always okay to have different views.”
“As far as when it comes to my business, to me it’s all very separate,” she told Baldwin.

“She lets him take the lead, and she never disagrees with him publicly,”one insider said. “She has decided that’s the right move, but she isn’t scared to share her disagreements with him behind closed doors… Don’t think that she’s afraid of him, because she’s not. She’s just managing him the best she can.”
