Pregnant Kim Kardashian wants to be more private
NEW YORK (AP) - As the tabloids speculated about whether Jessica Simpson is expecting again (she is) and the media zeroed in on Kate Middleton's acute morning sickness, Kim Kardashian says it was nice to be out of the media spotlight during the early stages of her pregnancy.
"I'm obviously so happy for them, but if anything I loved the privacy," the 32-year-old reality TV star said in an interview Wednesday.
That bit of privacy went out the window when Kardashian's boyfriend, Kanye West, revealed during a Dec. 30 concert in Atlantic City, N.J., that they are expecting their first child together.
Now that the word is out, Kardashian says her motherly instincts have made her pull back from being so open about her personal life.
"I think that definitely kicks in where you're like, 'OK, I have to go in protect mode,' and as ironic as it sounds, you live your life on a reality show but then when you grow up ... certain things change your life that make you want to be more private and this is definitely one of them."
The couple went public with their relationship in March.
Kardashian married NBA player Kris Humphries in August 2011 and their divorce is not finalized.
West rarely grants interviews, and the 35-year-old rapper is the ying to the Kardashian family's "out there" yang. Kim says she is somewhat influenced by West's approach.
"When you spend time with someone, you learn things from them, so I see what (his) views are in wanting to be private, so that's a choice we make together as a family just in how we're gonna raise our kid," she said. "... But my personal experience of having really open relationships on the show, I've done that, and for me I feel like I got really scrutinized when people didn't maybe understand my decisions at some point, so I feel like after that experience I've become more private more so than just like Kanye's views or anything."
Kardashian is due in July.
A new season of her reality show with her sister Kim, "Kourtney and Kim Take Miami," premieres Sunday on E! (9 p.m. EST).

I find the irony in her statement hilarious!
She wants privacy? Then why are you giving another interview to the media? Go crawl into a cave, the public would be happy to never hear from you again! The only person I feel sorry for is the child.What a family to be saddled with your whole life.....
Yawn. I think the news outlets have confused us with people who care.
We've all wanted Kim Kardashian to be more private all along. The impossibility of any of us getting what we want is ironic.
I feel sorry for the child to be having a mother like that.
I want her to be more private too.........go away !
I guess this mean she'll be spending all her time behind the scenes pimping out her daughter to the highest bidder; Kris Jenner taught her everything she know....
I'm surprised she didn't sell reality tv rights to a "hayhoo" cam
Please keep this crap off your news stories, I mean who cares about this stuff?
Please!
someone should ask her husband what he thinks about this bastard child.

Then she needs to retire and disappear.These people's egos are so super inflated that not being in the public spotlight would be a death knell.
Not going to happen. You wanted to be a famous silicone enhanced fake and shallow person and you got there. Now you want privacy. Sorry airhead, you can't have it both ways. Now just deal with it.
Brain hurts.... Kardashian saying things that aren't supid and I agree with.... ouch... how is this happening..... it can't be......help....
Next thing you know, Lindsay Lohan will start promoting sobriety and Honey Boo Boo will enroll in a finishing school for young ladies.
Now you want to be private, why did't you want this 3 or 4 years ago.
And I want to see less of Kim Kardashian, so this works out well.
