Kanye Westwill always have a soft spot in his heart for his hometown of Chicago, but he won’t be moving to the Windy City anytime soon.
Although West, 41, previously suggested that he would be relocating to Illinois, a source tells PEOPLE that the rapper “seems happy” living in Los Angeles with his growing family.
“Kanye is excited about being in L.A. now since he has his spiritual service every Sunday,” the source says.
The source adds that “he seems happy in L.A.”
And had West actually followed through with the move, his wifeKim Kardashian Westwouldn’t have followed. (In anew trailerfor season 16 ofKeeping Up with the Kardashians, she admits, “Moving to Chicago might be my breaking point.”)
“Kim was never going to move to Chicago and hoped that Kanye would change his mind quickly, like he usually does when he gets spontaneous ideas,” the source says.

Days later,a source told PEOPLEthat Kardashian West, 38, wasn’t convinced it would actually happen.
“Kanye has a tendency though to change his mind quickly, so she is just going along with his plans because it makes him happy,” the source said. “Next week, something else might make him happier.”

A second insider confirmed, “He changes his mind like he changes his underwear.”
The reality star has wanted to continue to raise the couple’s three children —North, 5,Saint, 3, andChicago, 14 months — in Calabasas, California, near her famous family.
“She thinks it’s best for the kids to continue their schedule in LA. North is in school and everything is working great,” the source added. “Kim doesn’t think a permanent move to Chicago benefits the kids. Also, Kim wants to be around her family as much as possible too. She loves their new house and it finally feels like a home to her.”

“Right now, it’s like me with two always and Kanye just has one,”Kardashian West saidduring her appearance onThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallonin February. “So he’s just like still living his life and I’m, ya know.”
“I was kind of stressing,” Kardashian West told Fallon about how she’s feeling about her expanding brood. “My house is so full [but] I heard that parents of four are the most enlightened and calm of all parents.”
