Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will be taking some time away from their globe-trotting careers after their wedding later this month in order to spend quality time as a family.
The couple – who have 10-month-old daughter North together – are tying the knot in Paris on May 24 and, although they will be jetting off on honeymoon after their nuptials, they will also be taking an extended break from their globe-trotting careers to spend time as a family.A source said, “They’re planning on taking some time off for sure. They’re used to busy schedules but they want to have some downtime as newlyweds – and together as a family.”
Meanwhile, the loved-up pair – who got engaged last October– insist their big day will be a small and intimate affair, with just their close friends and family present.
The duo were initially rumoured to have tied the knot earlier this month in a private ceremony in Los Angeles after allegedly securing a marriage licence last month.
However, Kim, 33, took to her Twitter account last weekend to confess that she and the rapper, 36 – who currently reside in California – haven’t got married yet.
Although, it is believed the couple will be forced to legally wed in California before their romantic bash in Paris as the French law requires a strict 40-day residency before they can get hitched in the country.
Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian is spending $750,000 (that’s around R7 780 000) on a “glam room” in her new home.
The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star and her fiance Kanye West have had their new Bel Air mansion undergoing renovations for over a year, with the building work unlikely to be completed before they marry later this month, and one of the changes they are making to the luxury property is the installation of a special make-up room for the brunette beauty.
The staggeringly-priced room comes equipped with a “glam bath” that she can access through metal doors from her master closet.
Among the other changes the couple – who have 10-month-old daughter North together – are making to the house is the installation of a wine room and wet bar, a music studio next to an existing library and a top-of-the-range gym, which boasts its own closet, bath and full-length mirror wall.
Kim and Kanye’s master bedroom will boast separate closets, and their bathroom will have his and hers sinks and toilets, while their baby daughter will also sleep in the lap of luxury.
Her room across the hall from her parents will feature a walk-in closet, a private bathroom and chalkboards on the walls.
And the renovations will extend to a new maid’s bedroom and bathroom, as well as restained wood floors, new Balzac limestone floors, new wood, metal and glass doors throughout, new stone sinks and sconces, tempered glass showers, and a $30,000 (R311 000) kitchen.
In the grounds of the property, the current pool will be replaced with a fenced-in 16-foot by 62-foot infinity pool with cabana.
The pool house will boast a concrete recreational area with bluestone paving, a bar, fire pit and planter boxes, while olive trees will line the property.
The couple will be able to park their cars in a three-car garage, while another floor added to the outbuilding will feature a patio.
