About this episode

When Kim and Kanye started dating, he legitimized her fame and catapulted her to superstar status. A tabloid princess became a queen. But after seven years of marriage, Kim and Kanye are splitting their kingdom. In this episode, we talk to journalist Zan Romanoff about the future of an American dynasty, getting halfway to Elizabeth Taylor’s legacy, and which of the Kardashians might secretly be glad the show is ending.
