In a revelation that's sending shockwaves through both the entertainment and legal worlds, Kim Kardashian has announced her most ambitious career move yet - she's training to become a divorce lawyer.
The reality television icon and business mogul dropped the bombshell during a recent interview, explaining that her own highly publicised divorce from rapper Kanye West served as a major catalyst for this unexpected career pivot.
From Reality TV to Courtroom Drama
The 43-year-old SKIMS founder revealed she's currently deep in her legal studies, balancing her billion-dollar business empire with the demanding preparation required to pass California's notoriously difficult 'baby bar' exam.
"This isn't just a passing interest," Kardashian emphasised. "I'm fully committed to this path and have been quietly working toward this goal for some time now."
Prison Reform Work Ignited Passion for Law
Kardashian's journey into the legal profession began with her highly publicised prison reform advocacy, which saw her successfully lobby for the release of several non-violent drug offenders.
Her work with the #cut50 initiative and meetings at the White House demonstrated her serious commitment to criminal justice reform, but this new direction into divorce law marks a significant expansion of her legal ambitions.
A Personal Connection to Family Law
The mother-of-four explained that navigating her own divorce proceedings gave her unique insight into the emotional turmoil couples experience during legal separations.
"Going through my own divorce opened my eyes to how challenging this process can be for families," she shared. "I want to use my experience to help others navigate these difficult waters with compassion and understanding."
Balancing Business and Books
Despite the demanding nature of legal studies, Kardashian insists she won't be stepping back from her business responsibilities. She continues to oversee her shapewear line SKIMS, skincare company SKKN, and various other ventures while pursuing her legal education.
"It's definitely a challenge balancing everything," she admitted, "but when you're passionate about something, you find a way to make it work."
This career revelation positions Kardashian to join the rare group of celebrities who have successfully transitioned into legal practice, potentially following in the footsteps of stars like Gerard Butler and John Cleese who obtained law degrees later in life.
