American rapper Kanye West has bought a mansion close to the house where his ex-wife wife, Kim Kardashian resides.
Although the former couple, who have four children together, are currently going through a divorce, they have remained amicable and West has splurged $4.5 million on the property in Hidden Hills California, in order to remain close to his family, according to reports.
It sits on a 1.07 acre of land and the house itself measures 3,651 square feet, while containing 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.
His newest pad boasts a large outdoor swimming pool and a horse corral, plus a stable for three horses, but internally needs mayor renovation.
The rapper’s latest move may be connected to his bid to reconcile with Kim.
Kanye and Kim filed for divorce earlier in the year after seven years of marriage and four children: North, 8, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2.
West, who has officially changed his name to Ye, paid $421,000 more than the original asking price so that he could purchase the home directly across from where Kardashian lives with their children North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, three and Psalm, two.
Kardashian, 41, and West, 44, previously agreed to seek joint legal custody of the kids in their divorce, with a source explaining: “[Kardashian] wants Kanye to be a big part of the kids’ lives. He will be invited to all holidays and family celebrations.” (GulfNews)
