Kim Kardashian encountered her ex-husband, Kanye West, in an uncomfortable situation while both were present to support their son Saint at his basketball game.
The former partners, amidst their co-parenting challenges, had not been seen together publicly before. They maintained a casual demeanor as the founder of SKIMS exchanged greetings with the rapper known for hits like “Heartless.”
During their interaction, Kim Kardashian remained polite while their daughter Chicago, aged 6, was positioned between them.
Kanye West, dressed in a black T-shirt, had his back to the camera while Kim faced him. She opted for a laid-back look, sporting a black baseball cap paired with a white tank top.
In another instance, Kim was captured texting while standing somewhat rigidly beside her ex-husband.
Photographs captured the ex-couple briefly conversing with their daughter Chicago by their side. However, their other children, North, aged 10, and Psalm, aged 4, were not seen at the game to support Saint, who is 8 years old.
Kim Kardashian initiated divorce proceedings from Kanye West in February 2021 and has been vocal about the challenges of co-parenting with the “Bound 2” artist.
In a candid interview in December 2022, coinciding with the finalization of their divorce, Kim expressed the difficulties of co-parenting with West, describing it as incredibly challenging.
She emphasized the importance of shielding their four children from their father’s controversial public behavior over the past years, drawing from her own positive experiences with her late father, Robert Kardashian.
Kanye West has also shared his struggles with co-parenting, underscoring the significance of his role as a father and advocating for his voice in parenting decisions.
Despite their efforts to navigate co-parenting, sources revealed that the former couple was communicating solely through assistants at that time, adding another layer of complexity to their situation.
