E! News said a source confirmed that Kanye was invited, but decided to stay home this year. However, that doesn’t mean there’s any trouble in paradise for the out-there couple.

“Kanye will not be attending the Met Gala and will be staying in L.A. with their kids,” the source said. “He and Kim are doing fine. He has been taking time off and is totally supportive of Kim attending.”

A second source added to the information. “He was planning on attending and recently decided he did not want to go,” the source stated. “He and Kim are fine. He will be in Los Angeles.”
