Last week, the New York Post reported that Kardashian had planned a luxurious birthday celebration, speculated to be in the Caribbean.

The KKW Beauty mogul is said to have invited her famous family, as well as close pal Jonathan “Foodgod” Cheban.

“All the guests know is when to be ready to be picked up for the flight, which will leave the Los Angeles area early next week. The destination is being kept strictly under wraps for privacy reasons, but that isn’t stopping everyone (from) speculating,” an insider previously told us.

On Monday, Kendall Jenner also shared a scenic beach shot on her Instagram story.

Kardashian, who celebrated her birthday last Wednesday, received a slew of well wishes from friends and family, including husband Kanye West.

“Been doing empty stadiums,” West tweeted, sharing a photo from their 2013 engagement. “Happy 40th birthday!!! I love you so much.”

Kardashian and West have been married since 2014 and share four kids: daughters North, 7, and Chicago, 2, and sons Saint, 4, and Psalm, 1.

The lead-up to Kim’s 40th birthday hasn’t exactly been smooth.

Kim and Kanye have suffered reports their marriage is headed for divorce after Kanye’s Twitter meltdown in July when he said Kim and her mother, Kris Jenner, were trying to “lock him up” and that he was seeking a “divorce”.

Kim immediately flew to Wyoming where Kanye was unleashing on the Kardashian family in several bizarre Twitter posts, where the pair were subsequently photographed in dramatic scenes in a car.

Soon after, the Kardashians announced that after nearly 15 years they were quitting their reality series, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which is currently streaming its latest season on Binge.

It comes as Kanye continues his bid to become the next US President.
