They have four kids together: daughters North, 12, and Chicago, 7, and sons Saint, 9, and Psalm, 6. Allen Berezovsky / Getty Images On the latest episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kim was asked about how coparenting has been since the split - and unfortunately, it sounds like it's still challenging. Call Her Daddy / Via youtube.com Kim said, "It's not easy. I mean, I raise the kids, you know, full-time. They live with me." Kevork Djansezian / Getty Images While it's tough, Kim said she encourages a strong relationship between Ye and their children. "I welcome a great healthy relationship with my kids and their dad," she shared, "and I think he knows that. I push for it all the time, but I also protect them when it's time for that. And it goes in waves and phases, and it's a lot of work." Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Images Kim explained that her approach to coparenting stems from the close relationship she had with her own father and what she sees between Tristan Thompson and his and Khloé Kardashian's two kids. "I have the best memories and the best relationship, you know, with my dad," she said. "And even like, I love that, you know, I see Tristan puts, you know, their kids to bed every night and takes them to school every day when he's not, you know, in season. So I just welcome healthy relationships, but it's not easy." Nbc / Getty Images When asked when their kids last saw Ye, Kim answered, "Whenever he'll call for them and ask. It's probably been a couple months since we've heard from him." Call Her Daddy / Via youtube.com According to Kim, part of the challenge is that Ye lives in multiple countries while she and the kids are based in LA. She said, "They always knew that he had a big life traveling before and was always on tour and all of that, so it's, you know, and that he lives in different countries all the time and loves to live all over the place. So, you know, we manage it really well. Like, they love, like, their life, their routine, and their schedule. And I think just [my] job as their mom is just to make sure that they stick to their routine and they're healthy and happy." @kimkardashian / Via instagram.com But Kim made it clear that she doesn't intentionally "keep" their kids from Ye - a claim that he has made several times publicly. Steven Ferdman / Getty Images "I've never once done that," she stated. "Like, there's been so many times where I've been like, 'Oh, I just wanna show all of these texts. What are you talking about?' Haven't heard? I begged them, you know, to go hang out or things like that. It's more of just the narrative that, like, I think it's all good and we're living our life and then I just wake up and there's all these tweets about how I've kidnapped the kids, and I'm like, it's not a kidnapping, it's a divorce. You know, we can still all be in each other's lives and have group dinners. I mean, I just grew up so differently, seeing my family coparent so great. And I see it with Khloé and Tristan, and I just see really healthy relationships." Nbc / Getty Images Kim also clarified that, "If there's a time where it's just really super unhealthy, I will, you know, say, 'Hey, let's do it here at my house, or let's figure out a different time.' But actually, when he is like that, he doesn't really want to see the kids a lot, so if he's having a hard time, he doesn't, so it's always worked out." She again stressed that she's "never once denied" Ye when he's asked to see their kids: "No, I don't keep the kids, and I think that all that narrative really sucks for me, and if I spoke out about it and rebutted it, I'm just not that girl..." Elsewhere, Kim also reflected on the breakdown of her marriage to Ye, whom she began dating in 2012. When asked whether there was a final straw, Kim said that there wasn't just one moment - but rather "a lot of things that [she] wouldn't deal with," including speaking negatively about her family and airing personal matters online. Marc Piasecki / Getty Images "Just not feeling safe, you know, not even physically, just, like, maybe emotionally or even, you know, financially," she explained. "I would, like, come home, and we had, like, five Lamborghinis, and I'd come home and they'd all be gone if he was in an episode. And I'd be like, 'Oh, wait. Where's all our cars? Like, my new car?' And it would be like, oh, he gave them away to all of his friends." Consolidated News Pictures / Getty Images Kim said she would have "done anything to make it work," but ultimately, Ye was unwilling "to make changes" that, to her, would ha
