Interestingly, just weeks before announcing her separation from the athlete, the “With You” songstress had been leaning on the Skims founder for support. “Jessica hasn’t made any decisions. She’s still researching her options and talking to her friends, especially the ones with kids that have been through a divorce,” the source said. “It’s really not something she wants to do. Her divorce from Nick [Lachey] was beyond tough, and there were no kids involved, so she knows this will be 10 times worse.”
The insider concluded, “Jessica has a lot of great women in her life that have circled around to be there and guide her, but Kim is very much front and center. She’s really stepped up to be there as someone to talk things through with.”
