KIM Kardashian has opened up about love, life and learning valuable lessons with husband Kanye West and their daughter North.
“I am with someone who makes me feel sexy and confident everyday, and we have our daughter, who is so sweet and precious,” Kim said in an exclusive interview with News Limited.
In a candid and wideranging chat, Kardashian revealed:
HER global fame causes stress and hardship on those she holds closest.
SHE wants to be an empowering role model to women.
NORTH has changed Kardashian’s world.

“North has really taught me to appreciate and recognise the important things in life like spending time with family, making memories while I watch her grow,” she said.
“Being a mother is such a gift and North has filled my heart with joy. Family is more important than anything. Learn to enjoy every second with those you love.”
Kim’s comments come as she prepares to venture Down Under to launch a new signature fragrance, Fleur Fatale.

The visit follows a recent juggernaut by Kim and Kanye, known popularly as power couple Kimye and North, for rap superstar West’s Australian Yeezus tour.
Most touring super-celebrities keep it low key by day, and save all the action for the stage at night.
Not Kimye. They were hi-vis all day, everyday; from a visit to a pop-up store and KFC during a thunderstorm in Melbourne, to a shopping mall expedition and taxi ride in Sydney.
Indeed, Kardashian refuses to be a slave to her celebrity, and has vowed to live her life without fear.

“I think that it’s really important to live life to the fullest and enjoy every second of it,” she said.
“Ever since I had North, I realise how precious every moment is and I want to make lasting memories with my family.
“Being a slave to celebrity just isn’t an option.
“Our priority is always North’s safety and happiness,” Kardashian said.
“And we do all we can to make sure she has the best childhood possible.”

A regular visitor to these shores, Kim adds: “I love coming to Australia. It’s such a beautiful place, so much to see and experience. Everyone is always so nice. It’s such a chill, laid back way of life. I love it.”
She married West in a lavish ceremony in Florence, Italy, in May this year, after dating for two years. North was born in June last year.
It was Kardashian’s third walk down the aisle. She famously married Kris Humphries in 2011, but filed for divorce after 72 days.
Kardashian told US news show Today she, like West, views marriage as a team effort.
She said West had “softened” since becoming a father, with an attitude of: “If (things) don’t make sense for our family, I’m not even going to waste my time doing it.”
West seconded that emotion in an interview with LA radio station Power 106, saying: “I’m putting all my energy, all my passion into raising my family and building my company.”

Asked what she has learned about love, Kim told News Limited: “Privacy is key. I live my life in front of the world and it has offered amazing opportunities to my family and me.
“But along with all the media attention, often comes stress and hardships on the people that I love,” she said.
“Through the ups and downs, I have learned some things are better kept private; that way it stays special and intimate.”
Kardashian, 34, a reality television star, actor, fashion designer, model, hope her highs and lows — played out for all the world to see — serve as lessons for all women.

“I think everyone has their own obstacles to face in their lives, but I always encourage women to work hard and strive for success. I hope I inspire women to put their best foot forward,” Kardashian said.
“Self confidence is so important — women need to believe in themselves, their abilities and knowledge. When this is paired with strong drive and hard work, it can take you a long way.”
Kardashian says sexy independence is at the heart of her new perfume, Fleur Fatale.
She adds: “I hope my fragrances empower the women who wear them … and they feel beautiful, confident and inspired.”
Kardashian will launch the perfume with a two-day visit to Melbourne only on November 18 and 19.
