Did Kanye West cheat on Kim Kardashian?
While neither party has explicitly confirmed that there was any infidelity, insiders have told The Sun that Kanye West did cheat on Kim Kardashian several times.
One source claimed that Kanye cheated on Kim with an A-list singer around the time that Kim gave birth to their second child, Saint — who is now five-years-old.
"At the time it happened, Kanye was mainly living in his bachelor pad in Hollywood because it was closer to his studio and he wasn't going to go home to Kim and newborn baby when he'd been partying late in the studio," the insider alleged.

They also said that the purported cheating came at a difficult time. Kim was reportedly suffering from body image issues and doing early morning exercise classes after gaining weight during her pregnancy.
"It's really sad. She blamed herself and vowed to 'bounce back' hotter than ever," the source added.
Another insider told the publication that the Yeezy designer confessed to cheating on the reality television star to his inner circle during his Saint Pablo tour in 2016 where he "boasted about having sex with groupies".
"On his Saint Pablo Tour, he was flipping out in front of his team, confessing to sleeping with girls behind Kim's back," they said.
"He even said he'd been f***ing groupies and went into insane detail about his sex sessions. It was very graphic, his language was unreal.
"Those who know him well, they were sitting head in hands and laughing nervously, while crew members who had just joined the tour were left stunned. Nobody could believe what he was saying in front of everybody."
The source claimed that it was "heartbreaking" as they suspected that Kanye was suffering from mental health issues.
However, neither Kim nor Kanye have commented publicly on the rumours.

Speaking about the lyrics to Page Six, an insider said: "The song is in a way his testimony of everything he did wrong and taking accountability for their marriage breakdown."
The source also claimed that the "new chick" mentioned in the lyrics was not a reference to Kanye's short-lived relationship with supermodel, Irina Shayk.
"If you look closer to the lyrics he is referring to his infidelity during his marriage with Kim, even after two kids," they said.
Kanye and Irina called it quits after two months of dating in August.

Why did Kanye West and Kim Kardashian split up?
Kim and Kanye, who share four children — North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm — appeared to have split due to a number of reasons.
Speaking about the split on the Keeping Up with the Kardashians reunion, Kim said: "It was not like, one specific thing that happened on either part.
"I think it was just a general difference of opinions on a few things that led to this decision. And like, in no way would I want someone to think that I didn’t give it my all, or not really try. You know, we have four kids."

According to sources, Kim and Kanye's marriage hit a "turning point" after the rapper made a comment about slavery during a 2018 TMZ interview, when he suggested that 400 years of slavery "sounds like a choice".
Kim revealed that she was seriously upset with her husband following the comments. Kim said: "Did I scream about it? Did I cry about it? Did I fight about it? Yeah."
Additionally, Kanye's desire to relocate to Wyoming in 2019 created tension. Speaking about the issue in a June 2019 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the mother-of-four said: "I just honestly can’t do this anymore. Why am I still in this place where I’m stuck for years? Like, he goes and moves to a different state every year.
"But I can’t do that. He should have a wife that supports his every move and travels with him and does everything, and I can’t. I feel like a f*king failure. It’s my third f*king marriage."
