Kim Kardashian has opened up about a serious health concern in the new teaser for the upcoming season of The Kardashians on Hulu. In the clip, Kim is seen undergoing an MRI scan and later tells her family, “There was a little aneurysm.” Her sister Kourtney reacts in shock, saying, “Whoa!”
Kim explains that doctors told her the aneurysm was caused by stress. She admits she’s been under intense pressure lately — juggling motherhood, her businesses, and her law studies. The teaser shows her struggling with part of the bar exam and breaking down in tears, showing just how much the stress has affected her.
The preview also touches on her emotional journey after her divorce from Kanye “Ye” West, with whom she shares four children. Holding back tears, Kim says, “I’m happy it’s over. My ex will be in my life no matter what. We have four kids together.” She later confesses her frustration, saying, “Last night I was like, ‘Why the f—- is this happening?’ ”
A brain aneurysm, according to the Mayo Clinic, is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain. Most aneurysms are small and harmless, but if one leaks or bursts, it can lead to dangerous bleeding in the brain, called a hemorrhagic stroke.
This isn’t the first time Kim has faced health issues linked to stress. In the season 7 premiere of The Kardashians, she revealed that her psoriasis — a condition she hadn’t dealt with since her divorce — had returned. She admitted that she had been feeling more anxious lately, saying, “I felt more stressed, probably just because I had to super, super protect what I had to protect.”
Kim also spoke about her role as a mother to North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, emphasizing how important it is to protect them from negativity and public scrutiny. She knows they’re growing up and will soon be able to see and understand things for themselves, so she wants to make sure they feel safe and supported.
When reflecting on her relationship with Kanye, Kim shared that she used to feel responsible for his well-being. She often thought she should have done more to help him, but now she’s realized she can’t carry that burden anymore. “It is so f—— sad,” she said, showing how deeply the situation still affects her.
The new season promises a closer look at Kim’s health, her emotional healing, and how she’s learning to balance her personal life, career, and motherhood while dealing with the intense pressures that come with fame.
