Kardashian West, 39, told Grazia magazine: “Kanye had it way at the beginning, when nobody really knew what was going on. It was so scary and unknown. I had my four babies and no-one else in the house to help.

“I had to go and change his sheets and help him get out of bed when he wasn’t feeling good. It was a challenge because it was so unknown.
“Changing his sheets with gloves and a face shield was really a scary time.”
The reality star said her 43-year-old hip-hop star and fashion designer husband tested positive for COVID-19 around the same time that Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson revealed that they had it in mid-March.
West told Forbes magazine in July that he had had coronavirus in February. He later tested negative for the virus in March.

Having to be with four kids and not have their friends or their routines and no help. It was a very different side of us that I don’t think anyone’s really seen.”
