Kim said that she and her now ex-husband Barry were living apart during Season 4 of the reality program. She mentioned that they were spending time apart as she relocated to an empty rental house. Kim went on to say:

“I never expected it to be this way. It’s simply a moment of great transition right now, and I’m not sure what that will look like. Barry tried for a while, but I had the impression he wasn’t really trying.”

Kim revealed Barry’s futile efforts to repair their relationship. She went on:

“It’s as though he wants me to remain, but I’m not sure he wants to change.” “I don’t see how that emotional closeness can be re-established.”

In explaining his side of the tale, Barry admitted to feeling deceived and upset by the circumstances that led to their split. He stated:

“I can’t help but feel cheated.” We were the one thing I believed would never be disturbed. It’s completely changed now. It’s simple really sad. It’s tragic… When I look at her, I see a woman who is stuck. I’ve purchased flowers and gifts, but I’m still holding out hope that she’ll change.”
