The star revealed he had been speaking on the phone to the reality star and he wasn't aware of any issues
KIM Kardashian's best friend Jonathan Cheban has slammed claims she's set to divorce hubby Kanye West.
The star, who previously appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, insisted he wasn't aware of any split rumours, and he'd just spoken to the couple himself moments before.
According to , a friend to the Kardashians claimed: “It will take some time before she can do anything. She doesn’t want to stay married.”
The insider added that Kim won’t make any decisions until Kanye is fully recovered, stating: “She’s being a supportive wife. She cares about Kanye and feels relieved he’s getting the help he needs but she’s felt trapped for a while.”
Now, Jonathan has hit back at the claims, and told the : "It's kinda funny to me," before adding: "I didn't know there was rumours about it."
Jonathan went on: "I didn't hear any rumours today, 'cause I've been busy today, but it's - I mean, I just literally got off the phone with them."
He then clarified he had been on Facetime with the couple, who are currently taking time out from the limelight following Kanye's hospitalisation in November because of a mental breakdown.
While Kim has reportedly been doing all she can to help aid the rapper’s recovery, US sources are claiming that the reality star is ‘unhappy’ in the relationship.
It has been widely speculated that the couple may be experiencing marital issues after it was claimed that the rapper is living apart from his wife and their two kids - North, three, and Saint, 12 months - as he receives outpatient care following his 10 day stay in UCLA Medical Center.
A source told magazine: "Kim is being very protective and doesn’t want Kanye around the kids right now.
“Kanye’s behaviour took a huge toll on their marriage. But Kim feels relieved he is getting the help he needs. She thinks this is what it will take to save him — and help their marriage.”
While another source added: "He is receiving outpatient care else with a medical team. Kim still seems concerned but is supportive.
"They don’t know for how long Kanye will need outpatient care ... There are frustrations and problems, like any relationship, but they love each other deeply."
However, it has also been reported that Kanye was allowed to attend the low key 1st birthday party for the couple's son, Saint.
Kim has been married twice before after she eloped with music producer Damon Thomas in 2000 at the age of 19.
However, the marriage was over two years later and Thomas filed for divorce. Kim went on to claim the pair seperated due to emotional and physical abuse in the relationship.
Kim then married basketball star Kris Humphries in August 2011 but the marriage famously last for only 72 days.
