As Kanye West forges ahead with his independent presidential campaign, he and his wife Kim Kardashian West are privately working to save their marriage, a source tells PEOPLE.
The rapper, 43, launched an unlikely bid for president of the United States last month, which sources have said comes amid a new cycle in his bipolar disorder. And after West divulged deeply personal details about his family and marriage on the campaign trail and on Twitter, his relationship with Kardashian, 39, landed in crisis.
According to the source, the couple is currently in the Dominican Republic, where the “focus is on their marriage.”
“They decided to travel together so they can be away in private,” the source says, adding that Kardashian is “exhausted.”
“Between the kids, work, and dealing with Kanye’s bipolar episodes, it’s been hard for her to think clearly,” the source says of the star, who shares daughters North, 7, and Chicago, 2, and sons Saint, 4, and 14-month-old Psalm, with West.
