Kim Kardashian West cried "all weekend" when it was announced 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' is to end.

To our amazing fans - It is with heavy hearts that we’ve made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up with the Kardashians. After what will be 14 years, 20 seasons, hundreds of episodes and numerous spin-off shows, we are beyond grateful to all of you who’ve watched us for all of these years – through the good times, the bad times, the happiness, the tears, and the many relationships and children. We’ll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we’ve met along the way. Thank you to the thousands of individuals and businesses that have been a part of this experience and, most importantly, a very special thank you to Ryan Seacrest for believing in us, E! for being our partner, and our production team at Bunim/Murray, who’ve spent countless hours documenting our lives. Our last season will air early next year in 2021. Without Keeping Up with The Kardashians, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who has watched and supported me and my family these past 14 incredible years. This show made us who we are and I will be forever in debt to everyone who played a role in shaping our careers and changing our lives forever. With Love and Gratitude, Kim

She told Grazia magazine: "Oh, it was honestly the most emotional day. The tears. I mean, I think I was crying all weekend. I'll probably get emotional now on the phone."

"It was just a really emotional decision."

Kim has already asked to keep her personalised microphone pack as a memento.
She quipped: "Whoever thought we'd miss getting mic'ed?"

The Skims founder - who has North, seven, Saint, four, Chicago, two, and 16-month-old Psalm with husband Kanye West -insisted it was the right time to end the show because her family are all in need of a "break" and want to be there for their kids.

She said: "This was a dream of all of ours.

"We never imagined we would get onto season two. Now we're on 20. Sometimes we just need a break. It's really simple. We just need a minute to regroup."

"You know, we haven't had a break for 14 years. We've gone in filming a season, then a spin-off and I think there's no other way to say it other than, we just live such big lives. And we have kids now. And they need us."

"There's so much going on that, even just for a minute we need a break."

Kim has promised the final season of the show will reveal a whole new side to the clan because it will chronicle how they coped with the coronavirus pandemic and being in lockdown.

She said: "If anything, it'll be really interesting to see what all of us were doing during the pandemic. We were so scared and cautious and we shared every moment of that.

"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."

The season will begin with footage they shot themselves on their phones, but filming is now up and running properly.

Kim said: "Now the production can happen, in a very careful way, but the end of the season goes back into a little bit of normalcy. We want to fully live this out."
