Kim Kardashian and Kanye “Ye” West recently put their differences aside for their son Saint, 7. The exes were spotted together in a rare, public co-parenting moment, and it’s a reminder of how hard they’re working to prioritize their children.
No woman should be a target of abuse, don’t stay silent
In pictures obtained by Page Six, Kardashian and West attended Saint’s basketball game on Friday. The SKIMS founder was dressed in a white tank top, black jacket, and black hat, while Ye wore a black t-shirt. Their daughter Chicago, 6, sat in between them, wearing a black jacket with her hair in two pigtails. The exes talked briefly before Kardashian turned to text on her phone and the “Heartless” rapper stared straight ahead. (See the photos HERE.)
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – MARCH 16: Kanye West and his son, Saint West, walk off the court at the end of the third quarter of an NBA game between Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Wednesday, March 16, 2022.
Kardashian and West, who also share kids North, 10, and Psalm, 4, were married in 2014. They split after seven years of marriage in Feb. 2021 and finalized their divorce in Nov. 2022. West married Bianca Censori less than a month later, while Kardashian moved on with Pete Davidson in Oct. 2021 before breaking up in Aug. 2022.
The Kardashians star has been honest about the struggles of co-parenting with her ex. “Co-parenting is hard,” she said in a Dec. 2022 appearance on the Angie Martinez IRL podcast. “It’s really f—king hard.”
She’s done her best to not talk badly about Ye in front of her kids, despite his horrific antisemitic comments and other controversial actions. “One day my kids will thank me for sitting here and not bashing their dad when I could,” she said. “All the crazy s–t. They’ll thank me and I’ll privately answer anything that they want to know. It’s not my place anymore to jump in.”
Kardashian continued, “I definitely protected him, and I still will in the eyes of my kids, for my kids. So, in my home, my kids don’t know anything that goes on on the outside world. … I’m holding on by a thread. I know I’m so close to that not happening. While that’s still happening, I will protect that to the ends of the earth, as long as I can.”

She gave another update about co-parenting in a July episode of The Kardashians. She admitted to her sisters that she’s “not OK” with seeing how much West has changed since they fell in love.
“The whole situation is sad and I don’t know how to handle it,” she said. “I’m conflicted because I don’t ever want to jump in and be a part of a downfall for the father of my kids. Your instinct is to be like, ‘Wow I can never talk to this person again.’ But then you think of your babies. And so I’m having a hard time figuring it out.”
The way she puts her kids first always, even if its hard or stressful, is so admirable!
