Kim Kardashian Engagement Rumors: Kanye West 'Not Sure' About Marrying Into Reality Star's Family
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will reportedly not walk down the aisle any time soon, despite engagement rumors, as the rapper is reportedly not yet sure about marrying the reality TV star despite them recently having a baby together.
On June 15 Kardashian, 32, gave birth to the couple's first child, North West, and while reports claimed the rapper, 36, proposed shortly thereafter, sources claim this is not true. West is reportedly happy with his present relationship as is and focused on work, particularly his upcoming world tour which is scheduled for the fall.
"Kanye has the perfect out, he can't marry Kim yet because he is going on world tour later this year," a source told RadarOnline.com. "He loves Kim, but just isn't sure about marrying into the family."
While sources claim West has not entirely ruled out marrying Kardashian, reports claim he is apprehensive because of the intense media scrutiny that surrounds the Kardashian family.
Kardashian, whose divorce from Kris Humphries was finalized in May, and her mother Kris Jenner infamously hosted an over-the-top, lavish televised wedding in 2011 and West reportedly fears that they may push for something similar with him.
"Kanye thinks Kris will want a big televised wedding and he's really not up for that. He loves Kim but he hates all the scrutiny that comes from being with her. When the photographers follow him, he flips out.," the source said.
"Can you imagine him as part of a big televised wedding? It may happen one day but it's definitely not going to be this year and it's going to take a lot of persuading to get him to do it," the source added.
In May, Kardashian admitted that she and West, who is renowned for lashing out at paparazzi, are "different." The reality TV star often embraces paparazzi attention, however, West admittedly loathes it.
"We live different lives, but I love being open. That's who I've always been. That will never change because that is who I am. It does worry me when I think about it," Kardashian previously told Fabulous magazine during her pregnancy.
"I'm definitely more of a recluse since I'm pregnant but I haven't necessarily decided to hold myself back, it's just preparing myself for respecting the privacy of my child and my boyfriend," she went on.
