Kim Kardashian had a complicated 2022 and decided to change her ways in 2023. The billionaire reality TV star spent half of the year duking it out with her ex-husband, Kanye West, over custody issues and bitter internet battles.
And Kardashian was busy for the remainder of the year, caught up in her ex-boyfriend, Pete Davidson‘s complicated dating life.
While dealing with her former partners, Kim Kardashian was embroiled in a few odd scandals, including Balenciaga and Kanye West’s antisemitic comments and White Lives Matter T-shirts.
The Kardashians star appeared on Gwyneth Paltrow‘s Goop podcast, revealing that she has decided to let loose this year.
The 42-year-old mogul said she is drinking alcohol and coffee again. The SKIMS founder stopped indulging in the two beverages years ago because she did not like their strong taste.
Kardashian also told the 50-year-old actress she felt the need to focus and be in control all the time to run her various businesses, study to become a lawyer and care for her four young children.
However, she has reached a point in her life where she is ready to let go and have some fun. Kardashian explained to the actress why she is returning to her old vices by saying: “I started to drink a little bit at the age of 42. Coffee and alcohol. I feel like I just gotta let loose a little bit.”
The reality star cited her hectic work schedule and lifestyle as the reasons why she drinks again.
She said: “Cause why not, you know? I just feel like I work a lot, and I focus… all day after school, then it’s like product meetings and testing things and packaging meetings and everything for SKKN.”
Kardashian concluded by saying that she enjoys only tequila — but in moderation.
She claimed: “I just don’t ever feel comfortable just laying around doing nothing. So my version of that has been to spend some time with my friends and have a drink and stay out a little bit later when I probably wouldn’t have done that before. It just has to be a little shot of pineapple and a shot of tequila. I have two shots, and I’m like so good. It’s been fun.”
According to PEOPLE, Kardashian stopped drinking in 2018 because she has a reputation to maintain.
The source revealed that she partied in her 20s with Paris Hilton, a bit more than she cares for, but by the time she hit 30, she had drastically changed her life.
The person claimed: “She drinks here and there but mostly abstains. She may have a glass of champagne on holiday or for someone’s birthday, but it’s rare. Kim definitely had her years of partying, especially around the time she was friends with Paris. She also used to go to clubs every night of the week. Her life is completely different now.”
Kardashian is ready to write new chapters.
