Kim Kardashian is still open to having more children and potentiallyremarrying one day.
During a Wednesday spot on the Goop podcast, The Kardashians star and motherof four, 42, told host Gwyneth Paltrow “fourth time’s a charm” regardingmarriage, and “whatever’s meant to be” as far as more kids.
Paltrow, 50, began the hour-long interview expressing that she is “sointerested” in how Kardashian works internally and less interested about the”world’s reaction” to her.
While talking about marriage and kids, Paltrow asked point blank if the SKIMSfounder would wed again. (Kardashian has been married three times, and sharesfour children with ex-husband Kanye West: daughters North, 9½, and Chicago, 5next month, plus sons Saint, 7, and Psalm, 3½.)
“I don’t know,” Kardashian said at first, agreeing with Paltrow that she’s”such a romantic.” She went on to admit, “I am. I am. I have this fantasy inmy head, like fourth’s time’s a charm, it’s gonna — it’s gonna work out.”

As far as wanting more kids, Kardashian is of the “never say never” mindset.
The mom of four explained, “I’m obviously right at the end of thatconversation … and would have to have someone in my life for a while to makethat decision. Whatever is meant to be will be.”
“I’m taking my time. I really do want to be single for a few years,”Kardashian added.
For now, the mogul says that amid just trying to “focus and chill and go onski trips” with her kids, she feels that she is having to deal, instead, withthe “narratives” created around her.
“I don’t know how to get myself out of the narrative — and just keep my headdown and stay focused,” she said as Paltrow commended her non-reactivepersonality and the fact that she’s a “free thinker.”

“We can say, ‘You know what? That’s not something I’m comfortable showing,’ “she continued of the sometimes-constantly rolling cameras, “but at the end ofthe day, it’s always out there [and better] to show the truth of what’s goingon internally and to show we are a family that goes through a lot of thingsand lean(s) on each other.”
“It’s just a family business, and that’s what drives us, more than the fame,”Kardashian added of her busy lifestyle, which doesn’t include the option ofever sleeping in. “You just don’t get that luxury with four kids.”
