Kim Kardashian is known as a reality TV star once married to Kanye West. However, she’s expanding her legacy by studying law. In 2018, she enrolled in a four-year apprenticeship with a law firm in San Francisco and plans to focus on criminal justice reform. Now, an insider alleges that Kardashian has “barely” completed her current coursework and will delay taking the bar examination until 2026.
Kim Kardashian allegedly plans to delay taking the bar exam until 2026, an insider says
Kim Kardashian has high hopes of becoming a lawyer, and she’s been working hard since 2018 to accomplish her dream. In 2021, she passed the “baby bar” after taking the test three times.
“For anyone who doesn’t know my law school journey, know this wasn’t easy or handed to me,” Kardashian captioned an Instagram post after passing the “baby bar.” “I failed this exam 3 times in 2 years, but I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it!!!”
An insider told The U.S. Sun that Kardashian’s coursework went to the wayside in 2024. “Kim had originally planned to take the California bar exam in February 2025, but she is pushing it back to 2026,” the source claimed. “The reality is Kim hasn’t been able to study much for it yet, and there’s no way she’s going to be able to tackle the exam in February. She’s barely gotten through 20% of the coursework.”
The source added that Kardashian hoped to become a lawyer before her show, All’s Fair, premieres in early 2025. However, with this news, this won’t be possible. Additionally, Kardashian allegedly dislikes “any questions about her pursuit of her legal credentials” and “gets mad” when people bring it up.
“She says she’s a full-time working mom of four with a business empire, so of course it’s going to take a little longer,” the insider added.
Kardashian fans will have to wait and see what she decides, as another source close to her claimed she doesn’t intend to delay taking the bar.
Another source claimed that the reality star still plans on taking the bar exam in February
While an insider claims that Kim Kardashian wants to delay taking the bar exam, another source told In Touch Weekly in October 2024 that Kardashian intends on taking the exam in February 2025.
“Kim’s passion and drive to become a bona fide lawyer is still going strong, and her plan is to take the bar exam in February,” the source alleged. “She has a ton of work to do to prepare and knows that the odds of passing it the first time aren’t super high, but she’s convinced she can pull it off, so she’s really pushing herself hard right now with her studies.”
Additionally, Kardashian wants to change her look to reflect her new career.
“She knows passing the bar will be huge, but she also wants her image to be more traditional, so she’s getting all sorts of mood boards together for her new, more professional look,” the source continued.
A source said that Kim Kardashian is operating as ‘a single mom’
Kim Kardashian shares four kids with Kanye West: North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5. Kardashian and West filed for divorce in 2021 but appeared committed to co-parenting. Unfortunately, a source told People that Kardashian has taken the brunt of the parenting as West tours the U.S. and beyond with his wife, Bianca Censori.
“Kanye is sadly not around very much,” the source alleged. “She’s pretty much a single mom. Although she has help, it’s still a lot of work for her to balance and coordinate everything.”
The insider noted that Kardashian’s entire life revolves around her kids’ schedules and her work. This might make it difficult to study for the bar exam.
“Kim’s life is around her kids’ schedules,” they said. “When they are in school, she works. When they are off, she’s very much focused on being a mom.” Kardashian is allegedly “not even dating anyone now. It’s all about work and the kids.”
