Kanye West spotted for first time since hospitalization

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Kanye West was spotted Thursday for the first time since his highly-publicized hospitalization.

The 39-year-old rapper stepped out with new, blonder hair to the Museum of Contemporary Art Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood following his more than week-long hospital stay for exhaustion.

West was able to preview the Rick Owen: Furniture exhibit before it opens to the public next weekend, according to E! News. Artist Giovanni Bassan shared a since-deleted photo of the star on Instagram, writing, "Ks in da house."

The "Famous" rapper was released from UCLA Medical Center on Nov. 30. Sources recently told E! that West has since spent time with wife Kim Kardashian and their two children, and will be treated as an outpatient until he is "fully recovered."

"Kim wants him to continue getting therapy even after all of this. He has support from so many people," an insider said.

"Kim is doing okay despite reports," the source added. "She has many other things on her plate so being overwhelmed is expected. She wants to get Kanye back on his feet. She is not leaving him. She loves him."

Kardashian has kept out of the spotlight since being robbed at gunpoint Oct. 2 in Paris. Us Weekly reported this week that the 36-year-old reality star wants a divorce from West, but her close friend Jonathan Cheban dismissed such rumors Wednesday.

"I just FaceTimed with Kim and Kanye and everyone's talking about some divorce rumors," he told E!. "I was laughing because I didn't hear that all day, and I guess everybody else apparently here did. It's so funny to me because it's so not true."

"[Kim and Kanye] are in good spirits. I don't want to talk much about them, just because it's not my business, but I did have to say that the divorcing was kind of hysterical," Cheban added. "When I heard that, I literally burst out laughing ... There's no divorce."

West and Kardashian married in 2014, and share 3-year-old daughter North and 1-year-old son Saint. Sources told People that Kardashian has been a "dutiful, responsible, loving spouse" since West's hospitalization.
