Kim Kardashian had an unexpected reunion with Kanye West — and cameras were there to capture it all.
During the Thursday, February 20, episode of The Kardashians, Kanye, 47, and Kim, 44, crossed paths while celebrating their 11-year-old daughter North’s performance in The Lion King’s 30th anniversary concert at the Hollywood Bowl.
“Her dad has been involved and he came to rehearsals and asked to change the graphics,” Kim shared in a confessional. “I just look at them and I say, ‘It will be a better production.’”
Kim reflected on her current dynamic with Kanye, adding, “Kanye and I want the best for the kids and so anytime we are here supporting our child, it is always good vibes.”
What Kim Kardashian Has Said About Kanye West Since Their Divorce
Later in the episode, Kim and Kanye had another check-in when they praised North’s solo. The brief conversation was interrupted by their other kids as they waited for North backstage. (The former couple also share daughter Chicago, 6, and sons Saint, 8, and Psalm, 5.)
Kim and Kanye got married in 2014 but the reality star filed for divorce in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage. She opened up about the challenges of coparenting after their divorce was finalized in November 2022.
“I had the best dad. I don’t want to get emotional, but it’s just been a day for me. It is hard. Coparenting is really f—ing hard,” Kim shared on the “Angie Martinez IRL” podcast in December 2022. “I had the best dad and the best experiences, and that is all I want for my kids. As long as they can have that, that is what I want for them.”
During a past episode of The Kardashians, Kim shared more insight into the family’s dynamic, including how North has chosen favorites when it comes to her parents.
“North will go to her dad’s and she [will say], ‘Dad’s is the best. He has it all figured out. He doesn’t have a nanny or a chef or security. He lives in an apartment,’” Kim said in a joint confessional with Kourtney Kardashian in a November 2023 episode. “And she will start crying, ‘Why don’t you have an apartment? I can’t believe we don’t have an apartment.’”
Kim also faced complications when trying to hire a caretaker for her kids. “I recently hired a manny [male nanny] because I really wanted a male around that was going to be picking them up and taking them to sports,” she said in an October 2023 episode. “I was scared out of my mind to tell their dad that.”
What Kim and Her Family Have Said About Kanye West on ‘The Kardashians’
Kim continued: “When he was dropping off the kids, Kanye introduced himself and played [soccer] with Saint and him. He was so nice to him. He said, ‘Hey, if you are going to help raise my son …’ Because [the nanny] handed [Saint] the ball really easily and [Kanye] said, ‘Don’t do that. Make him go get it himself. These are some of the rules I would want.’”
Kanye, who moved on with now-wife Bianca Censori, has also offered his side of the story when it comes to raising his kids with Kim.
“Even to this day, I’ll still give Kim advice on things that could help because that’s going to go to the kids,” he said on the “Alo Mind Full” podcast in September 2022. “She’s still got them 80 percent of the time, [to] raise those children. So what people saw when I was going back and forth is that I still have to be able to throw my version of what people would throw into the curriculum.”
New episodes of The Kardashians air on Hulu every Thursday.
