Kanye West is reportedly feeling 'heartbroken' and 'having trouble' seeing ex-wife Kim Kardashian's boyfriend Pete Davidson get close to the four children they share together.
The 45-year-old rapper 'knows that the bond he has with their kids is unbreakable' - but that hasn't stopped him from having feelings of resentment towards the comedian, as he watches him form a bond with his brood.
A source told Hollywood Life: "For Pete and the kids to get so close, so fast, is deeply unsettling for Kanye. It's really difficult seeing photos of them together everywhere he goes, and he just wishes things were different."
A second insider added: "Kanye is still having trouble accepting that he can't fix this and get his family back together.
"He's still very heartbroken and trying everything he can to stall the proceedings. It's painful for him to see Kim moving on with Pete and to see Pete spending all this time with his kids has magnified that pain even further."
It comes as the Kardashians have snubbed Kanye on his 45th birthday today.
His estranged wife wished him a happy birthday last year, but this time around things are different.
So far none of the reality TV legends have acknowledged Kim's former beau's birthday online, after some disturbing behaviour from Kanye earlier this year.
Although Kim and Kanye's split seemingly began on amicable terms - with Kim even 'remarrying' her ex on stage in August 2021 - thanks to Kanye's concerning social media posts and public outbursts over recent months, things have taken a more dramatic turn.
The rapper has struggled to see Kim move on with Pete - often taking aim at the comedian in a string of now-deleted Instagram posts and even "killing" the comic in one of his music videos.
Kanye's social media attacks on Pete saw Kim unfollow her ex back in February this year, and even publicly appealed for the Donda rapper to calm down with his antics.
At one point, the mum-of-four texted her estranged husband to make him aware of the "scary" environment he was creating for Pete, only for Kanye to publicly share the private texts on Instagram.
After a very active stint online, Kanye has been quiet on Instagram over recent weeks, with a promotional post for McDonalds being the only current post visible on the dad-of-four's page.
Despite not showing love for the father of her children online, Kim is making sure Kanye enjoys his birthday with their four children; North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, two.
