Kanye and Kim Kardashian West – who married in 2014 – have had a difficult time this year after her life was threatened in Paris. This followed by the rapper being hospitalized for exhaustion and depression.

Thankfully, the two are feeling more positive these days and “looking forward” to the New Year, as revealed by close friend Jonathan Cheban.

He told Us Weekly: “Kim and Kanye are looking forward to the new year, new changes. They’re going to be great. Kanye’s doing much better. We’re all looking forward to the new year.”

And the source has denied that the couple – who have two children together – are struggling in the romance department.

He shared: “Well, I can tell you the divorce is not happening. I was so surprised when someone asked me that on a red carpet … But I’ll tell you they are definitely not getting a divorce.”

Overall, Jonathan insists they are in good spirits.

He previously added: “I just FaceTimed with Kim and Kanye and everyone’s talking about some divorce rumours and I was laughing because I didn’t hear that all day and I guess everybody else apparently here did and it’s so funny to me because it’s so not true.

I don’t know where people come up with stories but it’s literally hysterical but Jennifer Aniston has also been pregnant like 1,000 times so it’s kind of a joke. They’re in good spirits.

I don’t want to talk much about them because it’s not my business but I do have to say that the divorcing is kind of hysterical, that I will mention, because I just spoke to both of them on FaceTime literally before I was coming here and when I heard that I literally burst out laughing.”
