Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have awkward run-in at son Saint’s basketball game amid co-parenting woes
Kim Kardashian had an awkward run-in with her ex-husband, Kanye West, as they both supported their son Saint at his basketball game.
The former couple — who haven’t been photographed together amid their co-parenting woes — kept it casual as the SKIMS founder greeted the “Heartless” rapper.
She appeared to stay cordial while engaging with her ex as their daughter Chicago, 6, stood in between them.
West — who wore a black T-shirt — had his back faced to the camera while Kardashian faced him.
As for the “Kardashians” star, she kept it casual in a black baseball cap with a white tank top.
Other snaps caught her texting while stiffly standing by her ex.

The duo’s other kids — North, 10, and Psalm, 4 — didn’t appear to be present to support Saint, 8.
Kardashian — who filed for divorce from West, 46, in February 2021 — has been candid about her rocky relationship with the “Bound 2” rapper.
She got emotional in a December 2022 interview — the same month their divorce was finalized — while admitting it was “f–king hard” to co-parent with her ex.
“Co-parenting is hard,” she said on the “Angie Martinez IRL” podcast. “It’s really f–king hard.”

The SKKN founder, 43, furthered she’s tried to protect her four kids from witnessing their father’s controversial behavior, which has played out in public the past few years.
She recalled her late father, Robert Kardashian, being the “best dad” and wanting her children to think the same of West.
“I had the best memories and the greatest experience and that’s all I want for my kids as long as they can have that,” Kardashian said.

“That’s what I would want for them. If they don’t know the things that are being said or what’s happening in the world, why would I ever bring that energy to them? That’s really heavy grown-up s–t that they’re not ready to deal with.”
Meanwhile, West has spoken out about his own struggles with co-parenting, revealing he had to “fight” to get his voice heard.
“I’m their dad,” the “Gold Digger” rapper said during an interview with “Good Morning America” in September 2022.

“It’s not up to only the woman. Like, men have a choice also. Men’s voices matter,” he continued.
“As a dad and as a Christian … I have a right to have a voice on what my kids are wearing, what they’re watching, what they’re eating,” West added.
To make matters more difficult, the exes were only speaking to each other through assistants at the time, sources previously told Page Six.
