Following disturbing comments made by Kanye West about Beyoncé and Jay-Z's seven-year-old children, Rumi and Sir, Tina Knowles has seemingly defended her family in an Instagram post. As reported by Us Weekly, Tina posted a comment about "ignorance and evil" alongside a video of herself telling a "corny joke". Her caption on the video has since been edited.

According to The Independent, West shared multiple posts on X (formerly Twitter) attacking Beyoncé and his former friend and collaborator Jay-Z, including using an ableist slur in reference to the couple's seven-year-old twins in a post on Tuesday, March 18. This comes amid years of offensive language and hate speech from West, a self-proclaimed Nazi.

On Wednesday, Tina posted an Instagram video with the caption, "Corny joke, time! it’s hard to remain positive and classy in the face of ignorance and evil," according to Us Weekly. She continued, "But I know that no weapon formed against me or my family shall prosper. This battle is not mine, but the Lords, I know that God has got this." The caption has since been edited to simply say, "Corny joke, time!"

In the video, the fashion designer says, "So, I'm on the set of a photoshoot today for my book and I wanted to tell you a corny joke because I have on all this glamorous hair and makeup." She then thanks her hairstylist, makeup artist, and the person filming the video, before telling the joke.

"Got a corny joke, want to hear it? Here it go. So what happens when a snowman throws a tantrum? He has a meltdown." Giggling, the 71-year-old adds, "Y’all know that’s funny."

The comments on Tina's post have been limited, but many of the ones posted praise her for supporting her family.

"One thing about Tina is she does NOT play about her family and she’s gonna clock people every time," wrote one follower. Another posted, "I know it was hard for you to hold back what you really wanted to say auntie." Another commenter shared, "'He has a melt down' he sure did Ms. Tina."

This is far from the first time Tina has publicly defended her daughter. She spoke out when haters came after Beyoncé's skin tone and she commented when the pop icon's Christmas Day NFL performance was criticized. If anything, fans want Tina to say more. But it seems she'll keep it to corny jokes this time.

Kim Kardashian has opened up about life as a single mom.

During a recent appearance on the What in the Winkler! podcast with Zoe Winkler, the SKIMS founder opened up about how difficult it is to raise four children "basically" by herself, but explained that she doesn't often speak about it because of the judgment she receives in response.

"Sometimes in the middle of the night, when they’re all sleeping in your bed kicking you and crying and waking up—it’s not something that I talk about a lot because I feel like there is always a lot of judgment or people always will jump to the, 'Oh, but you have the resources to have nannies and to have help,'" Kardashian said (via Us Weekly). "And I just think that no matter what kind of help I have, I’m basically raising four kids by myself."

The TV star shares North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5, with ex-husband Kanye West.

The two were married between 2014 and 2022, with Kardashian filing for divorce in February 2021.

A year later, the entrepreneur opened up to Vogue about some of the reasons behind the separation. "For so long, I did what made other people happy," she said circa February 2022. "And I think in the last two years I decided, I’m going to make myself happy. And that feels really good. And even if that created changes and caused my divorce, I think it’s important to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy. I’ve chosen myself. I think it’s okay to choose you."

Though she doesn't speak about the struggles of single parenthood often, this still isn't the first time Kardashian has opened up about this experience. Speaking during a May 2023 appearance on On Purpose with Jay Shetty, she explained, "I'd say parenting is the thing that has taught me the most about myself."

She continued, "It has been the most challenging thing.

"There are nights I cry myself to sleep, like, 'what just happened?' You know, with all the moods and the personalities and sometimes they're fighting, and there's no one there, like it's me to play good cop and bad cop, so that is definitely a challenge."

Julia Fox is opening up about her past relationship with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.

“I regret that relationship so much," Fox said in a recent interview with The Times published on Saturday, Oct. 12. "I hate it! It was only a few weeks but enough to last me a lifetime.

"I was in probably the most uncomfortable position in my life and that’s saying a lot," she continued. "I don’t want to be known for being anyone’s girlfriend.”

Fox went on to say that it wasn't her idea "to go public" with the former pair's relationship shortly after they met in Miami on New Years Eve 2021. (Fox and West started dating after his very public split from ex-wife Kim Kardashian.)

“It wasn’t my idea for it to go public," Fox explained at the time. "If anything, I was like, ‘We should wait,’ and then boom, it was done behind my back. I realized pretty quickly I was being used as a pawn.”

Fox and West only dated for short period of time—a representative for the social media influencer confirmed the former couple's split on Feb. 14, 2022.

In her recent Times interview, Fox also touched on allegations she made in her memoir Down the Drain, in which she claimed West—who she referred to as "the artist"—offered to buy her a "boob job," requested she only wear clothes he approved of, and asked her to sign an NDA.

“I really credit my son for being my grounding force," she said. "It was like, I can’t go down this spiral because no man, no matter how rich or famous, is worth one minute away from my child.”

Fox shares son Valentino, 3, with her ex-husband Peter Artemiev.

In 2023, during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Fox said that dating West was so demanding it was like having two children.

“I think I just realized very quickly it just wasn’t gonna be sustainable because ultimately, I cannot put anybody else first,” she told host Drew Barrymore at the time. “My son has to be first. It just became too much, like, I didn’t sign up to have two babies, you know?”

Fox went on to say that she even went so far as to buy a pair of headphones so that she could continue to talk with West while mothering her child.

“Like, I’d have to change diapers, and so I bought a pair of AirPods so I could keep it in while I was doing mom stuff. Like, it was just—it was so overwhelming and so unsustainable,” she recalled. “Ultimately, I think he needed a full-time person, and I just couldn’t be full time. I had my son, and then [Ye would] wanna talk on the phone a lot.”

Kim Kardashian is opening up about what led to her breakup with a mystery ex.

On the latest episode of The Kardashians, the season 5 finale, the SKIMS founder spoke in a confessional about a tendency of hers that she thinks might have precipitated the end of a previous romantic relationship.

"When someone tells me not to do something that I planned on, I physically get, like, 'You’re getting in my way,' and I will bulldoze whatever's in my way because you’re not going to tell me to change my schedule," she explained.

"I feel like that’s how I would get in relationships. Like when [bleep] started to tell me, 'You work so much, why don’t you just take the week off?' And I’m like, ‘Get out of here! Take the week off?!'"

She added, "That was the beginning of the end."

The name of the ex in question was edited out of the show, but Kim previously dated Pete Davidson for just under a year between fall 2021 and August 2022.

Before that, she was married to Kanye West—with whom she shares children North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—between 2014 and 2022 (when the divorce was finalized).

In the past, she was also married to Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004, and to Kris Humphries, from 2011 to 2013. She was briefly linked to Tom Brady recently, but the rumors were never confirmed.

On last week's episode, the mom of four had shared that she was seeing a therapist to help her make sense of her inner world. Speaking to her sister Khloé about what she'd learned, she said, "She was like, 'You think calm is your superpower. I think you are so desensitized from trauma that you literally are frozen in fight or flight.'"

The sisters then came to the conclusion that the robbery Kim experienced in Paris in 2016 may have altered the way she shows up in her life.

The aspiring lawyer said in a confessional that her staying calm during the robbery "saved my life," but she added, "I think I've let it get too calm, to where people could take advantage of my calmness, or I'm just turning into a full robot with, like, no emotion."

She also admitted to working very hard as a sort of coping mechanism.

North West is apparently eager to follow in her father's musical footsteps. At a listening party for Kanye West's new album, Vultures 2, North took to the stage with her dad to announce her big news: she's been working on an album of her own.

“Hey, I’m Northie, and I’ve been working on an album that’s going to be called Elementary School Dropout," the 10-year-old told the excited crowd.

North, known also by her rap name "Miss Westie," was featured on a track in Kanye's new album, which seems to have given her a taste of the industry. The title of North's album is also a clear reference Kanye's 2004 debut album, The College Dropout.

At the 2024 Rolling Loud Festival in Los Angeles, North performed her new hit, "TALKING," and danced along with a group of friends. She was dressed in her trademark oversized baggy black t-shirt and a furry hat. After the performance, North was interviewed by Alpha It Girl Jazzy's World. When asked about the album's release date, North replied, "I don't know," but assured her that "it's going to be great."

Her mom, Kim Kardashian, has publicly shared her support for North's burgeoning music career. When "TALKING" made the Billboard Hot 100 charts, proud mom Kardashian celebrated the milestone on Instagram Stories with the words, "My baby!!!!"

Kardashian surprised the world by being spotted with Bianca Censori, Kanye's new wife, at the listening party for Vultures 2. The pair were seen standing side-by-side in a gated-off area of the Chase Center. This is the first time they've been spotted together since Censori and Kanye married in December 2022.

A source told E! News that Kardashian and Censori are on good terms. It seems that Kardashian is committed to co-parenting with Kanye and keeping the peace between all parties; Censori also appears to be more involved with Kanye's children and has been frequently spotted with North during performances, even having dinner together in Paris.

North West, 10, has just announced her upcoming debut album.

The eldest daughter of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian made the announcement when she took to the stage during a listening party for her dad's latest album, Vultures 1, in Phoenix on Sunday.

"I’ve been working on an album," North told the crowd, drawing enthusiastic cheers. "And it’s called Elementary School Dropout." Her siblings Chicago and Psalm also joined her on stage to dance with her to her song "Talking," as reported by Billboard.

The album's title is a reference to her dad's debut album The College Dropout, released in 2004.

"Talking" appears on Vultures 1, with North getting a "featuring" credit on the track.

In February, "Talking" made the Billboard Hot 100 charts, with proud mom Kim Kardashian celebrating the milestone on Instagram Stories with the words, "My baby!!!!" (via Billboard).

At just 10 years old, North is already known for her slew of talents.

First off, she can dance—as evidenced when she was invited to show off her moves on stage with Katy Perry. Second, she's a natural at fashion styling—as we've found out over and over via her super cool outfits and her creative direction on a family Vogue shoot.

Other talents include her business acumen, since she's apparently planning on running Yeezy one day, and is infamous for her lemonade stand antics.

The little girl is also a budding influencer, often sharing viral content on the TikTok account she shares with her mom, and—speaking of her mom—she's also incredibly skilled at publicly making fun of the SKIMS founder. Never a dull moment, honestly.

Step aside Whos of Whoville; no one does Christmas like the Kardashian-Jenner clan!

At their annual Christmas Eve soiree, the whole family was dressed to impress. Kim Kardashian shared an Instagram carousel of family photos featuring herself and her four kids dressed up for the party.

But while all of the kids looked great, our attention was snagged by North West, and more specifically by what she was wearing.

North was wearing her father, Kanye West's 2016 Met Gala jacket. West and Kardashian filed for divorce in 2021, and many have wondered about the children's relationships with their father, given that they're primarily seen with Kardashian.

Kardashian referenced the jacket in an Instagram story, writing, “You know North went through the archives to pick her dads Balmain Met jacket, Ifykyk.”

West wore the jacket to the 2016 Met Gala, and the theme for that year was Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology. He and Kardashian walked the red carpet together and wore matching blinged looks.

North paired the oversized jacket with white trousers and a white turtleneck, with thick silver necklaces. She's wearing a dark lipstick that reminds me of just how much she's grown up already!

This look and Kardashian's proud acknowledgment of where the jacket comes from might hint towards a Kardashian-West reconciliation. This outfit follows a string of interactions between North and her father.

Almost two weeks ago, North was spotted by TMZ in Disneyland with West and his new wife, Bianca Censori. This is one of the first times North has been spotted in public with her stepmother, and she was photographed holding hands with Censori as the trio explored the park.

But it's not only fun and games in this father-daughter relationship, as they're now colleagues too. North is starting her rap career early and will be featured on West and Ty Dolla $ign’s upcoming album, Vultures. North dropped by a listening party for the album and took to the stage to lip-sync along to her part on a track called “You Don’t Want (North Interlude)."

This snippet included her new rap name, Miss Westie. Can we expect more tracks from Miss Westie? And is Miss Westie hinting at better circumstances between her father and mother?

While West's new marriage suggests that a romantic reconciliation is out of the question, this sudden involvement with North might indicate that West will be more involved with his children and ex-wife.

This might also be linked to West's recent apology for his antisemitic behavior, which took the form of an Instagram post in Hebrew. West has made numerous hateful and racist comments, including a lyric sung in a recent performance for his upcoming album.

It may be 2023, but we're taking a trip back to 2016, to discuss what may have been one of the cruelest feuds of the last decade.

Swift discussed the infamous feud between herself, Kim Kardashian, and Kanye West with TIME magazine in her interview for "Person of the Year," revealing that she may have forgiven, but she certainly will not forget.

She describes that time as having "all the hyenas climb on and take their shots." Aside from the West drama, Swift was also being constantly criticized by the media over her perceived overexposure and supposed political beliefs.

Then the real battle began when West released "Famous," a song in which Swift is mentioned. The lyrics include, "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. I made that b**** famous."

Swift was insulted for two reasons: the vulgar language used towards her and the implication that West was responsible for her fame. The latter comes from when West interrupted her VMAs acceptance speech in 2009, taking the microphone to proclaim that Beyonce should have won.

When she tried to speak out about the song, West's then-wife Kardashian released a video of a conversation between Swift and West, which made it seem like she had agreed to the song. The internet went wild with this, and Swift was portrayed as a snake. That's exactly what they called her, and fans of Kardashian and West would flood her social media with the snake emoji.

Swift tells TIME that it felt like a "career death."

She specifies, "Make no mistake—my career was taken away from me.”

Until now, Swift had been on top of the world, beloved for her latest pop album, 1989, and enjoying the fruits of her hard work. But suddenly, she was hated, barraged with negativity, and painted as a liar.

“You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,” she says. “That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before. I moved to a foreign country. I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard.”

As always, the truth came out, and further footage revealed that Kardashian's video was not what it seemed. Swift had been telling the truth this whole time, namely that she had agreed to a tiny part of the song without further details, and especially not the most incriminating lyric.

Swift has never spoken this candidly about that time in her life and how she removed herself from the public eye for years. The closest she's come is in the album that followed, Reputation. The album and subsequent music videos were filled with snake symbolism and lyrics that focused on the power of karma, getting even, and rising from the ashes.

Even in her documentary, Miss Americana, she shied away from discussing the feud with Kardashian and West, only focusing on what occurred at the VMAs with West. It's important to remember that Swift was only nineteen when West took the stage, and twenty-six when the world turned against her.

It may seem surprising that Swift is choosing now to discuss this difficult time in her life, but it matches a recent trend of her slowly finding her own space in the limelight.

She's been spotted more frequently with friends, often getting dinner with the likes of Sophie Turner, Blake Lively, and Gigi Hadid. Her new relationship with Travis Kelce is far more public than she ever was with Joe Alwyn, and they frequently support one another at football matches and concerts.

Swift seems ready to be herself with the world, no longer hiding behind other versions of herself to eventually kill off, and finally speaking her truth.

As for West and Kardashian, Swift said it best herself in her song "long story short" with the lyric, "Your enemies will defeat themselves before you have the chance to swing."

Pete Davidson took on Ryan Gosling's Barbie movie song "I'm Just Ken" on this weekend's episode of Saturday Night Live, calling it "I'm Just Pete."

The skit begins with Davidson going to work on the show with a cake that says, "Excited for a fun week!" on it, but overhearing some of the writers badmouthing him for returning to SNL so soon after leaving (he quit in May 2022).

A downcast Pete then begins singing and making fun of himself, alluding to the things he does while high and the insults that have been hurled at him ("butthole eyes" being one).

Then, he launches into the chorus, which begins:

'Cause I'm just Pete
Anyone else, I'd be a three
But I guess I'm hot for dudes in comedy
'Cause it's an ugly industry
I'm just Pete
Looking like a meth head on the street

But it's the last two lines of the chorus that really got laughs, when Davidson sings:

People online still call me "Skete"
Because of a guy whose name I can't say legally

That's when an image of Kanye West very briefly flashes on the screen.

West was the one to call Davidson "Skete," back when the comedian was dating the rapper's ex-wife Kim Kardashian, using it as shorthand to harass Davidson. This all escalated so much that the comedian reportedly sought out trauma therapy as a result of West's behavior.

The second chorus further alludes to Davidson's very public love life. It goes:

I'm just Pete
My dating life is not discreet
I generate tons of publicity
For everything except my comedy
I'm just Pete and I like jugs
I'm mentally ill and I'm on drugs
But, hey, I'm still in Super Bowl commercials

As well as Kardashian, Davidson has also famously been linked to Ariana Grande, Phoebe Dynevor, Emily Ratajkowski, Madelyn Cline, and Margaret Qualley.

Aside from Davidson's triumphant return, Saturday's episode of SNL generated a ton of headlines thanks to super short cameos by BOTH Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, who have been reportedly dating for several weeks.

Couldn’t help but laugh on this one: while leaving her seven-year-old son Saint’s basketball game in Los Angeles on Friday, mom Kim Kardashian looked stern when she noticed Saint was flipping off the paparazzi, holding his middle finger up to the photographers that are likely a consistent and constant part of his young life.

Kardashian was walking alongside Saint and one of his basketball teammates in the parking lot of an Islands restaurant—Saint still in his white basketball jersey—when the three were met by a pack of photographers, Page Six reports. Saint giggled after showing the group his middle finger, “which resulted in a scolding from his mom, who briefly covered his face with her hand,” the outlet reports. 

Saint takes after his older sister, North, who flipped the photographer off during her family Christmas card photoshoot back in 2021, Kardashian herself revealed in season one of Hulu’s The Kardashians (which returns September 28, by the way). “They always cry,” Kardashian said. “Nobody gets along. Most of the photos I saw were unusable because North was sticking out her middle finger. It’s days like this when I really just need to lock myself in the room by myself for just a good 30 minutes. Yeah, it’s a lot. It’s just a lot being a mom.”

In addition to North and Saint, Kardashian is also mom to daughter Chicago and son Psalm, all of whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West.

And, by the way, Saint seems to be much more sweet than salty: In a clip Kardashian posted on her Instagram Story for Mother’s Day, she shared a message from her eldest son that said “Mom, I’m very grateful for you. I know I’m mean to you a lot. I say you’re nothing to me, but you mean the world to me. I love you more than anything. You’re my favorite in the family. I even love you more than my cute little brother, Psalm.”

Taylor Swift isn't afraid to poke fun during the international leg of her Eras Tour in Mexico City! The singer was preparing to perform "Champagne Problems" during the Evermore "era" of the concert when fans in attendance interrupted Swift and began chanting her name. The artist used the moment to reference Kanye West's onstage interruption at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

"It's the best way to be interrupted, by the way, just people chanting your name," she said into the mic. "It's really the only way to be interrupted… and I would know."

Fans will remember when West interrupted Swift while she was giving her acceptance speech for Best Video by a Female Artist for her hit song "You Belong with Me." He proceeded to take the mic from her before saying, "I'mma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!"

The incident became the cause of the longtime feud between Swift and West. Swift has written multiple songs about the rapper, starting with a song about forgiveness, titled "Innocent." But, that forgiveness was short-lived once West and his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, recorded Swift on the phone without her permission. Swift later penned, "This Is Why You Can't Have Nice Things," which is rumored to be about the exes.

Did Taylor Swift just get the last laugh? At the Seattle stop of her Eras tour this weekend, Swift let out what Page Six refers to as an “epic laugh”—not just a laugh, but an epic laugh (and the outlet is right)—while performing what the outlet calls “her Kanye West diss track ‘This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things’” for the first time in five years.

Swift hasn’t performed the song onstage since 2018 but brought it out Saturday night and “let out an epic cackle during the song” when she played the acoustic version of the song, which was on her Reputation album.

“And here’s to you, ‘cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do,” she sang before bursting out into laughter—“which she has always done while performing the song,” Page Six writes.

She eventually composed herself, but quipped “I can’t even say it with a straight face.”

The track was released after her infamous feud with West—which began at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, when he interrupted her acceptance speech for the Best Video by a Female Artist Award, claiming Beyoncé should have won—and his then wife, Kim Kardashian. One fan wrote that they wished Swift had “saved this song for an L.A. performance” in case Kardashian attended with her daughter, North West. (Swift will be performing in Los Angeles from August 3 to August 9 in support of the tour.)

Swift said she dealt with the fallout from her feud with West and Kardashian by writing new songs, including this one. (Fans also think the song “Look What You Made Me Do” is about the duo.) “A mass public shaming, with millions of people saying you are quote-unquote ‘canceled,’ is a very isolating experience,” Swift told Vogue in 2019. “When you say someone is canceled, it’s not a TV show. It’s a human being. You’re sending mass amounts of messaging to this person to either shut up, disappear, or it could also be perceived as ‘Kill yourself.’ I knew immediately I needed to make music about it because I knew it was the only way I could survive it. It was the only way I could preserve my mental health and also tell the story of what it’s like to go through something so humiliating.”

After the U.S. leg of the Eras tour concludes on August 9, Swift will take the show to Mexico and Brazil by the end of 2023, and Japan, Australia, Singapore, Poland, and Austria in 2024.

Even Kim Kardashian has regrets. The reality show star recently admitted to sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner that she “jumped into another relationship so fast” with Pete Davidson following her 2021 divorce from Kanye West.

During a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim explained, "It got my mind away from stuff, and that's not a way to run from things. It's better to deal. Heal… Deal, heal, and then feel.”

Kim and Kanye's split was difficult for both of them. The exes divorced in March 2022 after six years of marriage. The parents share four children: North, 10, Saint, 7, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 4.

Despite Kanye's controversial outbursts, Kim doesn't want to look at their relationship “negatively.” “I'm not going to take every experience and bad thing that happened to me and carry that into my life,” she added. “What am I supposed to be learning from this? How is this going to make me a better person?”

During last week’s episode, the Skims founder cried in front of sister Khloé Kardashian because of Kanye's actions. 

"It sucks when someone doesn’t see how different they are," she explained in a confessional. "I always will [keep looking for that person]. You'll always hope you’ll see a glimpse of them, and I hope I do."

She continued, “It's really confusing for me, it’s so different from the person that I married. That’s who I loved and that’s who I remember. I'll do anything to get that person back."

Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye West in early 2021, and things have been difficult between the two ever since.

Kardashian has shown support for her ex publicly, for example by participating in his Donda album listening party, but West has oscillated between vowing to win his ex-wife back and insulting her, her family, and her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson.

Kardashian has tried to avoid adding fuel to the fire and hasn't spoken much about West amid all this drama.

But in the premiere for season 3 of The Kardashians, the SKIMS founder opened up about how difficult it has all been—especially during the time when West decided to post screenshots of text conversations with her on Instagram.

"I spent my whole morning having an anxiety attack. I felt like I just couldn't breathe all day," Kardashian admitted to her mom Kris Jenner.

She added, "Even through all of the craziness of everything that Kanye says about us, I never comment, I never post, like he has made up the most insane narrative about you, and the tape, and we stay silent. We stay silent through all the lies, all the stuff."

Speaking to the cameras, Kardashian explained, "I think at this point, I just assume everything I text Kanye is gonna be put on the internet. I think I can handle anything, I just get really heartbroken for my mom, that she has to deal with so much from so many different sides of people coming at her."

The mom of four also explained what one of her biggest problems with the whole situation is.

"Even just like how he looks so down on me for my [sex] tape, and brings it up all over town, all over the media," she said.

"Like, thanks for reminding people once again. All of his shenanigans—I don't even know what the f**k to call it—is gonna be far more damaging to the kids one day than my tape will ever be. And I have to sit here and not say anything, ever, because I know one day my kids will appreciate that. And I know that is the best thing for them."

Kardashian and West share daughters North and Chicago, and sons Saint and Psalm.

Ahead of The Kardashians’ season three premiere this week, Kim Kardashian is opening up in a wide-ranging interview with Jay Shetty on his podcast “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” (sisters Khloé Kardashian and Kendall Jenner have also had turns on Shetty’s show in the past). She tells the host that the people in her life today are “really solid” and that she is in a “very good place,” per People, but potentially alluded to her marriage to Kanye West when saying “Something I learned is that you cannot help people that don’t want the help. You can’t force your beliefs and project that on someone that thinks something totally different.”

While Kardashian never specifically named West, she spoke further about having dissonant views with people who were previously a part of her life: “It’s okay to have those different views,” she said. “It’s why the world goes ‘round. But if you don’t align in the same values and morals and things at your core, then it’s okay to realize that this life is so short, and you should go and find the people that do align with what you really believe in.”

She continued “Those are some of the things that I would teach my kids when they’re looking for friends and partners and relationships. You can’t really force things upon other people. You can’t expect them to be where you’re at, at your level.” Sometimes, Kardashian said, the differences can “coexist really well. But then sometimes, it really can’t.”

After a long friendship, the exes began dating in 2012, married in 2014, and filed for divorce in 2021. Their divorce was finalized last November, and they share children North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

“Sometimes I feel like people think that if a relationship doesn’t work out that it’s a failure, but I don’t really look at it like that,” Kardashian said. “15 years together, 10 years. That’s not a failure. That is so beautiful.”

Chicago West—the third child born to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West—is telling it like it is. Chi, as she is known within her (very famous) family, filled out a questionnaire about Mother’s Day titled “All About My Mom,” E! News reports. When the question was asked “The best thing she cooks is…” Chicago kept it real, hilariously writing in the blank “Mom doesn’t cook, she has a chef.”

Her mom’s response? Alongside Chi’s answer, Kardashian added, simply but profoundly, “OMG.”

Kardashian did follow up with a slight rebuttal, sharing a photo of Beeshee—a traditional Armenian pancake—as it was being cooked on the stove. She wrote “Chi was wrong. I do cook. LOL.”

It’s also worth noting that Chi thought her mom was 22 years old, thought her favorite food is salad, that she is really good at going to the gym, and that her favorite way to relax is to lie down in her bed.

Kardashian also shared insight into the sweet gifts she received on Mother’s Day, which included video messages from Chicago and her three siblings North, Saint, and Psalm.

“You are the best in the world,” North wrote. “You make my day every day.” Saint wrote that his mom “means the world” to him and added “I love you more than anything. You’re my favorite in the family.” 

While everyone is busy criticizing Kanye West for his racist actions and for encouraging pile-ons on public figures, Kanye West is busy criticizing everyone else, including Lizzo, who didn't ask for any of the weird unsolicited opinions she seems to receive on a daily basis.

Appearing on Fox News with Tucker Carlson, West—unprompted—began talking about Lizzo and her body. He said, "The media wants to put out a perception that being overweight is the new goal, when it's actually unhealthy. Let's get aside the fact of whether it's fashion and vogue, which it's not ... it's actually clinically unhealthy, and for people to promote that, it's demonic."

Speaking at a concert in Toronto, Canada, Lizzo said, "I feel like everybody in America got my motherf***ing name in they motherf***ing mouth for no motherf***ing reason," adding, "I'm minding my fat, Black, beautiful business!"

The singer then quipped, "Can I stay here? Who can I marry for that dual citizenship?"

Lizzo has previously been outspoken both about creating self-acceptance of her body, and about how little said body is anybody else's business.

In an interview with People this past March, the star said, "I think I have a really hot body! I'm a body icon, and I'm embracing that more and more every day."

She also compared herself to a certain reality star. "It may not be one person's ideal body type just like, say, Kim Kardashian might not be someone's ideal, but she's a body icon and has created a modern-day beauty standard," she said. "And what I'm doing is stepping into my confidence and my power to create my own beauty standard. And one day that will just be the standard."

In that same interview, she said, "OK, we all know I'm fat. I know I'm fat. It doesn't bother me. I like being fat, and I'm beautiful and I'm healthy. So can we move on?"

Please, can we?

Kanye West is not backing down—even though basically everyone is telling him to.

After he was at the center of a bunch of extremely public drama this week, West decided to bring his children with Kim Kardashian into the discussion, and their aunt Khloé is not having it.

Hitting back at very legitimate criticism he received at the hands of supermodel Gigi Hadid and DJ Venus X, the rapper once again took to Instagram to decry a completely separate situation, in a very confusing attempt to defend himself.

"I WONDER WHAT GIGI AND VENUS'S PERSPECTIVES WERE WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE MY CHILD WAS ON HER BIRTHDAY," the Yeezy creator wrote, adding that "Gabby" (Gabriella Karefa-Johnson) told him she "disagreed with that," and that Candace Owens was the only public figure to defend him re: the birthday drama.

Essentially, here West is claiming once again that he wasn't informed of the location of daughter Chicago's birthday party in January, even though he literally attended it? What that situation has to do with him deciding to wear a "White Lives Matter" shirt for some reason is not immediately clear.

Anyway, Khloé commented a very fair message to her former brother-in-law, in which she shows that she has her nieces and nephews' best interests at heart.

"Ye, I love you. I don’t want to do this on social media but YOU keep bringing it here. You are the father of my nieces and nephews and I’m trying to be respectful but please STOP tearing Kimberly down and using our family when you want to deflect," the Good American founder wrote.

"Again with the birthday narrative. Enough already. We all know the truth and in my opinion, everyone’s tired of it.

"You know exactly where your children are at all times and YOU wanted separate birthdays. I have seen all of the texts to prove it. And when you changed your mind and wanted to attend, you came.

"Like you have pointed out yourself, she is the one taking care of your kids 80% of the time. Please Leave her and the family out of it so that the kids can be raised peacefully. I come from a place of love and I am happy to continue this conversation privately if you wish."

West then proceeded to screenshot Khloé's comment, and post it on his grid calling her and the Kardashians liars. I won't go further into detail because, frankly, I find it all too depressing.

And if you haven't been following this particular piece of drama, the short version is: West wore a "White Lives Matter" shirt to his Yeezy show in Paris, which he ostensibly did to be, like, super controversial, but which it's hard to read as anything else but a dangerous gesture that will stir even more racism than already exists.

When Vogue associate fashion editor Karefa-Johnson criticized West for it on her Instagram Stories, he launched a social media attack on her. Her friends Gigi Hadid and Hailey Baldwin soon came to her defence, as did Venus X. West didn't like that, and he let us know. And that's about it.

Gigi Hadid is not shy when it comes to defending her values—and her friends.

The supermodel told Kanye West exactly what she thought of his actions, after he took to attacking a fashion editor who criticized his latest Yeezy show at Paris Fashion Week.

Let's back up. To present his collection in Paris, West wore a "White Lives Matter" t-shirt, which people were quick to point out is highly offensive, as a slogan (and even a movement) often used by hate groups as a "racist response" to the Black Lives Matter movement, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

People reports that Vogue associate fashion editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson posted criticism of West's show and "White Lives Matter" shirt in her Instagram Stories, following which the rapper and designer began posting mocking comments and captions aimed at Karefa-Johnson, which have since been deleted.

There are only two posts remaining on West's Instagram grid at time of writing, the first of which is a screenshot of texts seemingly sent to him, which tell him to stop insulting "that writer" and have a conversation with her instead.

Hadid, who has previously worked with Karefa-Johnson (per People), was not about to let this slide.

On that post, she commented, "You wish u had a percentage of her intellect. You have no idea haha…. If there’s actually a point to any of your sh*t she might be the only person that could save u. As if the 'honor' of being invited to your show should keep someone from giving their opinion ..? Lol. You’re a bully and a joke."

The second post is a photo taken from the fashion editor's Instagram, with a caption claiming that he and "Gabby" had a two-hour meeting, during which they apologized to each other. Hadid commented the simple but cutting, "It’s Gabriella*"

Fellow supermodel Hailey Bieber joined Hadid in defending the editor. She wrote on her Instagram Stories, "GKJ ALL DAY, EVERYDAY. My respect for you runs deep my friend! To know you is to adore you and to work with you is an honor."

Bieber called Karefa-Johnson, "the most kind. the most talented. the most fun. the most chic."

Kim Kardashian is done compromising.

At 41, the TV star is learning to make her own choices again, and she won't let any potential partner stand in the way of that: For context, she previously admitted that ex-husband Kanye West used to make many of her decisions for her, especially when it came to dressing.

Although she had a "fun" nine-month relationship with comedian Pete Davidson, the celeb is reportedly ready to get back out there, but only on her own terms.

A source told E! News that Kardashian "has plenty of options" for potential partners and that "all of her friends are constantly trying to set her up."

They added, "Kim's expressed she's ready to date but it has to be the right person who understands her life. She isn't compromising her freedom right now."

Fair play to her!

Davidson was the first person the SKIMS founder publicly dated after she filed for divorce from West in 2021. The two were married for seven years, and share children North, 9, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3.

Prior to that relationship, Kardashian was married to Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004, and Kris Humphries from 2011 to 2013.

Beyond her romantic life, the socialite appears to be thriving. She is at the helm of hyper-susccessful shapewear and loungewear label SKIMS, and skincare brand SKKN BY KIM, as well as starring on new reality show The Kardashians on Hulu alongside her family members.

She's also recently secured a bunch of magazine covers, including for Allure and Vogue, plus—v casually—passed the baby bar to become a lawyer, as well as continuing her social justice work on prison reform.

Soon after we found out about Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson's breakup, it emerged that the comedian had sought out trauma therapy, in part due to Kanye West's persistent harassment towards him.

Now, a source has told Page Six exactly how Kardashian felt about Davidson taking charge of his mental health.

"Kim was very supportive of Pete going to therapy," the source said.

"Kanye was very detrimental. He was posting negative things—now add thousands and thousands of comments. Someone has to work with you to deal with something like that."

The rapper, who was formerly married to Kardashian and shares four children with her, publicly criticized his ex-wife's relationship with Davidson, and went as far as to depict violence against him in one of his music videos. He also repeatedly took to Instagram to make his feelings known.

"Getting death threats from [Kanye’s] fans and all the negative attention online doesn’t feel good for the average person—add someone who’s struggled with mental illness, and it’s even worse," another source told Page Six.

Davidson has been extremely open about his borderline personality disorder diagnosis. In 2021, he told Glenn Close in Variety, "I got diagnosed with BPD a few years ago, and I was always just so confused all the time, and just thought something was wrong, and didn’t know how to deal with it," he said.

"Then, when somebody finally tells you, the weight of the world feels lifted off your shoulders. You feel so much better."

In 2018, Davidson criticized West for using his mental health as an excuse to behave poorly during a Saturday Night Live segment, which the rapper expressed his displeasure about during Davidson and Kardashian's relationship. Oof.

After Pete Davidson began dating Kim Kardashian in the fall, her ex-husband Kanye West directed a series of derogatory messages at the comedian—via social media posts, a threatening song, and a violent music video.

Shortly after Kardashian and Davidson broke up, a source told People that, since April, the SNL alum "has been in trauma therapy in large part" due to West's behavior towards him.

"The attention and negativity coming from Kanye and his antics is a trigger for [Pete], and he's had to seek out help," the source added.

One of the latest examples of West's harassing behaviors came soon after the breakup became public knowledge. He took to Instagram to share a doctored New York Times front page with the fake headline, "SKETE DAVIDSON DEAD AT AGE 28."

A source told Us Weekly, "Kim is furious with Kanye for posting Skete is dead."

They added, "It’s another one of his outbursts and it’s not a joke to her. She doesn’t take his attacks lightly and demanded he take it down."

The rapper did in fact take the post down. At time of writing, his Instagram page reads, "No posts yet."

Though the couple formerly known as Kete are no longer romantically involved, they seem to be on friendly terms. People's source said that Davidson "has no regrets for dating Kim and wants it to be made very clear that she's been nothing but supportive of him throughout their relationship."

They concluded, "Moving forward he just wants to focus on his career."

Kardashian and Davidson dated for nine months until they announced their separation.

It's also worth noting that Davidson has been very open about his mental health in the past, including about dealing with his borderline personality disorder diagnosis.

So, like, obviously Kim Kardashian has a lot of clothes. But I don't think any of us were prepared to find out exactly how many she actually has.

She has, you know, a giant walk-in closet at home, of course, but that's completely the tip of the iceberg. On the latest episode of The Kardashians, she brought her publicist Tracy Romulus with her to see where she keeps all her other clothes, and it's actually kind of unbelievable—even considering everything we already know about the Kardashians.

"I have so much stuff, and I've had so many different fashion eras," the SKIMS founder said as she opened the door to a literal real-life warehouse where she keeps all her archive clothing from other the years.

"I love seeing all this stuff, so I just want to see kind of where I've been and where I wanna go," she explained, as she continued her quest to find her own style away from ex Kanye West's styling.

How many clothes does she have in her casual warehouse? Glad you asked. "I have thousands and thousands of clothes. I think I have like 30,000 pieces," she said. I am totally showing this to my boyfriend next time he says I have too many clothes.

During the visit, Kardashian told Romulus, "That's like my biggest insecurity, is finding out what my next muse relationship is going to be."

The publicist then asked her, "Do you remember when Kanye cleaned out your closet and replaced everything? Did you keep those pieces?" Kardashian confirmed that she did keep those pieces.

Heartbreakingly, Kardashian explained to the cameras that she had lost herself style-wise during her marriage. "I forgot that I have an opinion, too" she said. "I forgot that I can make decisions, too."

Although those decisions may be complicated by an overabundance of choice, I am super glad that she gets to take back her agency in that aspect of her life.

And that's a wrap. Pete Davidson has said goodbye to Saturday Night Live after eight years of jokes.

On his final "Weekend Update" segment with co-host Colin Jost, he started out strong with the one-liner, "Hello Colin and Che, and millions of people only watching to see if I bring up Kanye."

In case you didn't quite catch the context there, Pete Davidson has been dating Kim Kardashian—who was previously married to Kanye "Ye" West—since the fall, and West has publicly insulted him on various platforms since then. Davidson also brought up West's mental health struggles on SNL in 2018.

"I never imagined this would be my life, you know," the comedian continued. "I mean, look at me when I started here. Like back then, I was just like a skinny kid and no one knew what race I was. And like now everyone knows I'm white, because I became hugely successful while barely showing up to work."

Carrying on with the self-deprecating jokes, Davidson said, "And look at me now, I'm aging like an old banana! And Colin still looks like the only Kennedy who doesn't drink."

Speaking about some of the things he would miss most after the show, he recalled, "I called [Lorne Michaels, producer of SNL] and said—when I got engaged—I said, 'Lorne, I just got engaged to Ariana Grande after dating for two weeks and he said, 'oh, hold on for dear life!'" ???

Elaborating on his relationship with the producer, he then explained, "And then when I auditioned for SNL, he looked me right in the eye and said, 'I don't think you're right for this show. So let's screw this up together.' And that's exactly what we did, and that's why people who don't think I deserve this job shouldn't hate me, since we have so much in common." This is actually so sweet.

At this point in his speech, Davidson's voice started to crack slightly as he became emotional. "I appreciate SNL always having my back, and allowing me to work on myself and grow and, you know, thank you to Lorne for never giving up on me or, you know, judging me, even when like everyone else was and for believing in me and allowing me to have a place that, like, I could call home with the memories that'll last a lifetime, so thank you guys." :) :) :)

On the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian talked extensively about how much she had come to rely on Kanye "Ye" West to style her for events throughout the marriage.

Since filing for divorce, she has been trying to do more of her own styling, and West has apparently not approved. This doesn't sound particularly helpful on his part, considering Kim admitted to Scott Disick that she feels insecure about picking her own outfits.

Anyway, Kim told Kourtney about how she has been trying to figure out who she is on her own. "I got to a point where I would ask him for advice for everything, down to what I wear. Even now I'm having like panic attacks, like, 'dude, what do I wear?'" she explained.

"And finally, like in New York, I will say, like, he styled me all for SNL, then for the Wall Street Journal magazine, I won the Innovator Award for SKIMS, and I was like, 'how do I wear something that hasn't been pre-vetted first?'"

At said event, Kim wore a tight leather brown dress and matching long gloves, and looked objectively incredible, but West made sure to give her his unfiltered thoughts on the look.

"Oh, and then he called me afterwards," she told her older sister. "He told me my career is over, and then he showed me a picture of Marge Simpson wearing something similar."

Both Kim and Kourt looked disturbed and lost for words after that, at which point the episode cut to a scene with Kendall Jenner.

No comment.

In news that I'm zero percent surprised about, North West apparently has big ~thoughts~ about her mother, Kim Kardashian's, fashion choices.

There are two reasons this isn't shocking to me: First, North was practically born a fashion icon. She consistently wears outfits that are way cooler than anything I've ever worn, and she even styled her siblings for their family Vogue cover shoot. As a reminder, Northie is eight years old. Not to make you feel bad or anything, obvs.

The second reason I'm not suprised about this is that Kardashian and Kanye West's eldest daughter has never been one to shy away from speaking her mind—especially when it comes to hilariously calling out her mom. PLEASE never forget that one time North exposed Kardashian's fake on-camera voice on Instagram Live. Top 10 moments of my (already long and illustrious) celebrity writing career. Oh, and there's also the fact that she calls her mom's house "so ugly" when she's mad at her, which is just next-level amazing.

Now, speaking as part of Vogue's Forces of Fashion, Kardashian revealed how unimpressed the little girl tends to be with her outfits. "North is very opinionated when it comes to what I’m wearing," she said. "She’ll always complain when I’m wearing too much black. I showed up at her school on Valentine’s Day wearing head-to-toe pink, and she got so excited she ran over and hugged me. [Of course] she opened my coat, saw the black lining, and says, 'Mom, you’re still wearing black.'"

To be fair, I also wear head-to-toe pink every day in my fantasy world. Pink is the best color, after all.

Kanye West was recently banned from Instagram for 24 hours for posting harassing messages directed at a number of people, including his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, her new boyfriend Pete Davidson, and talk-show host Trevor Noah—to whom he addressed racist comments.

Since returning to Instagram, West has deleted all his posts and his profile reads "no posts yet" at time of writing.

Now, the rapper has suffered a further blow due to his social media activity: He was taken off the list of performers for the upcoming Grammys. A rep for West told Variety that the ban came in response to the artist's "concerning online behavior."

Responding to the news on Twitter, Trevor Noah wrote, "I said counsel Kanye not cancel Kanye."

This is in reference to Noah's earlier comments on The Daily Show, during which he suggested that West should seek out therapy in order to better his mental health (West lives with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder).

West's attacks towards various public figures have escalated amid his divorce from Kim Kardashian and the evolution of her relationship with Pete Davidson. The rapper has threatened violence towards the comedian—most notably as part of a disturbing music video.

But Noah's latest comments add an extra layer to the conversation: When someone who suffers from a mental health condition behaves poorly, do we simply ban them from participating in everything? What does that solve? His point seems to be that rather than simply punishing West, we should try to help him so that he in turn can stop attacking others. There is no simple answer to these questions, and ultimately the debate is much bigger than just Kanye West—but Noah has made us think, that's for sure.

Many people have rung alarm bells over the last few weeks, as Kanye West's behavior towards Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson stopped being entertaining (if it ever was) and became straight harassment.

One of the latest to do so was talk show host Trevor Noah, who took almost 10 minutes to unpack the whole mess of a situation on The Daily Show. He raised concerns over West's behavior, and criticized Davidson for reportedly texting West, "I'm in bed with your wife" while offering him mental health advice.

"This thing, it's spun into a story that seems fully tabloid, but I think... deserves a little more awareness from the general public, because it touches on something that is more sensitive and more serious than people would like to admit," Noah said. He was referring more specifically to West continuing his efforts to get Kardashian back, after she has been extremely clear that she is ready for their relationship to be in the past.

Following his take, TMZ reports that West wrote a racial slur on Noah's Instagram account, which prompted Meta to ban the rapper from the social media platform for 24 hours.

A spokesperson for the company told TMZ that "Kanye's recent posts violated Instagram's policies on hate speech, harassment and bullying."

West has posted various insults and attacks against Kim Kardashian, Pete Davidson, SNL writer Dave Sirus, and actor D.L. Hughley.

The ban means he can't post, comment or otherwise interact with other users for 24 hours. While this is temporary, Meta told TMZ that they would take further steps if needed in the future.

Kim Kardashian's divorce proceedings have unfortunately been very messy.

Her ex, Kanye West, has reportedly slowed things down—amid reports he wasn't ready to give up on their relationship. Finally, though, Kardashian was granted legal single status at her request in early March.

Still, West continues to publicly attack the SKIMS founder through social media, notably by criticizing her new boyfriend, Pete Davidson, and telling the world the comedian shouldn't be allowed around his children.

After months of this concerning behavior, Davidson reportedly felt the need to intervene. Over the weekend, an alleged text conversation between the two men was published on Dave Sirus' Instagram (Sirus is an SNL colleague of Davidson's). Sirus has since set his account to private, but Page Six published the screenshots.

"Yo it's Skete," Davidson allegedly wrote. "Can you please take a second and calm down

"It's 8am and it don't gotta be like this. Kim is literally the best mother I've ever met. What she does for those kids is amazing and you're so f***ing lucky that she's your kids mom.

"I've decided I'm not gonna let you treat us this way anymore and I'm done being quiet. Grow the f*** up"

What follows is an exchange of insults between the two and pleas from Davidson for West to stop interfering in their life.

Now, a source tells Us Weekly that Davidson had had enough by that point. "Pete stepped in because he couldn’t take seeing Kanye continue to throw Kim under the bus anymore," the insider said. "He truly wants a one-on-one talk with Kanye and wants it to be handled privately."

The source added, "Pete and Kim continue to get harassed, and Pete’s had enough of seeing Kim being made out to be the villain. Pete didn’t want to text Kanye, but he was pushed to the limit."

This situation is really heartbreaking to witness. All I can do is hope relations between Kardashian and West are appeased soon, and that they can continue to coparent in a way that works for both of them.

Kim Kardashian is more than ready to be done with her divorce from Kanye "Ye" West.

In a new victory for the SKIMS founder, a judge just approved her request to be declared legally single—which she filed in December.

As recently as February, a source alleged that West was slowing the process down by not signing the documents. But that particular chapter is now behind them, and both parties are officially single.

TMZ first reported the news, detailing how the court hearing went down, with Kardashian calling in via video call, and West absent and represented by his lawyer.

At the end of the hearing, Kardashian was asked for the record, "Are there problems in your relationship?" to which she responded, "Yes." She was then asked, "Do you think your marriage can be saved with counseling?" to which she said, "No."

Neither response is a particular shocking one considering the TV personality first filed for divorce in early 2021. She has since developed a relationship with comedian Pete Davidson, while West has been linked to several women, including actress Julia Fox. Most recently, he has been spotted out and about with model and behavioral health advocate Chaney Jones.

The former Kardashian-Wests (now legally "Kim Kardashian" and "Ye," respectively) have had a pretty messy separation thus far. The rapper has made several public declarations to his ex-wife, seemingly attempting to win her back, but has also threatened violence towards Davidson on multiple occasions. His latest effort has come in the shape of a music video, in which Davidson is kidnapped and buried. Several outlets have pointed out the disturbing nature of West's actions.

Kardashian has expressed her wish to be done with it all, citing the "emotional distress" that her ex is causing her.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye "Ye" West were married for seven years and share four children, so what exactly happened to cause the breakdown of their marriage?

In a new candid cover interview with Vogue, the SKIMS founder opened up about how her priorities changed ahead of her separation from West—and how that shift contributed to the split.

"For so long, I did what made other people happy," Kim told the magazine. "And I think in the last two years I decided, I’m going to make myself happy. And that feels really good. And even if that created changes and caused my divorce, I think it’s important to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy. I’ve chosen myself. I think it’s okay to choose you."

As for what choosing herself looks like exactly, Kim described what she wants for the decade ahead. "My 40s are about being Team Me. I’m going to eat well. I’m going to work out. I’m going to have more fun, spend more time with my kids and the people who make me happy. I’m going to put my phone down. Unfollow if I don’t want to see something on Instagram. Khloé came up with the best phrase for that yesterday. She said, 'Post and ghost.'"

Self-care, family time and a digital detox? Sounds like a solid game plan to me.

Apparently, in the Kardashian family, your 40s are your time to thrive beyond anything you could have imagined. "When Kim and I each turned 40, we got all these text messages from our grandmother and our cousin and people over 40," Kim's sister Kourtney revealed. "They were like, You’re going to have the best sex of your life. You’re going to be in the best place in your life." Love that for them.

But of course, when you're co-parenting four young children with your ex, you have to be extra mindful of how you portray your relationship to said children. "You could be so hurt or angry at your ex, but I think in front of the kids, it always has to be 'Your dad’s the best,'" Kim added. "Make sure you are your co-parent’s biggest cheerleader, no matter what you’re personally going through." Sound advice.

Kim Kardashian first filed for divorce from ex Kanye "Ye" West in February 2021, but the proceedings are moving slowly.

While Kardashian seems eager for it all to be over, West is slowing the process down. 

"Kim is still trying to get the 'married' status dissolved to 'single' before they finalize the divorce, but Ye has yet to sign," a source tells E! News. "Moving this divorce along isn't something he's acting quickly on, despite Kim's efforts."

This separation has been far from straightforward from the get-go. For months, West hinted he wanted to get back together with Kardashian, something that she appeared not to show any interest in. She began dating Pete Davidson, while West's relationship with Julia Fox has accelerated in recent weeks.

Now, things are getting extra contentious between the exes. "SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST DIVORCE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO ABOUT MY DAUGHTER BEING PUT ON TIK TOK AGAINST MY WILL ?" the rapper wrote on Instagram a few days ago in a now-deleted post.

He was referring to the TikTok account Kardashian and daughter North share, and the SKIMS founder was NOT happy about her ex' comments.

"Kanye's constant attacks on me in interviews and on social media is actually more hurtful than any TikTok North might create," Kardashian wrote on her Instagram Story. "As the parent who is the main provider and caregiver for our children, I am doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision—because it brings her happiness.

"Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye's obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all. From the beginning I have wanted nothing but a healthy and supportive co-parenting relationship because it is what is best for our children and it saddens me that Kanye continues to make it impossible every step of the way.

"I wish to handle all matters regarding our children privately, and hopefully he can finally respond to the third attorney he has had in the last year to resolve any issues amicably."

You would be forgiven if you stopped keeping up with the Kardashians long ago. But don't worry, I got you.

Previously on the currently untelevized saga, Kanye West tried to get his ex-wife Kim Kardashian back very publicly on several occasions. He then began dating actress Julia Fox, while a source claimed he was "trying to make Kim jealous by being very public with Julia."

Meanwhile, Kardashian has been almost quietly dating comedian Pete Davidson (like, they haven't attended any official events together), a development which West has been less than thrilled about. Take, for example, the time he wrote lyrics about beating Davidson up.

Kardashian is reportedly done with all the drama, but she and her new boyfriend wish West well—especially because they've found happiness in each other.

"Kim truly wants Kanye to be at peace with their marriage being over and find happiness, whether it’s with Julia or someone else, so they can focus on raising their children together in a more positive way," a source tells Page Six.

"She is worried about how all of these things that are being played out so publicly on Kanye’s end will affect their kids in the future and feels that any issues should be resolved privately."

West's actions "in an effort to convince Kim to come back" are "actually bringing Pete and Kim closer together," another source says.

Obviously, I'm not a part of any private discussions that are going on there, but it does feel like making his ex' new relationship better is not exactly the intended outcome here for West. Welp, let's hope for everyone's sake that they resolve this all soon.

Um. So. Kim Kardashian's new boyfriend, Pete Davidson, and Kardashian's ex Kanye "Ye" West's new girlfriend, Julia Fox (are you following so far?), posed for a photo shoot together back in 2019. Yes, I know, I don't know how I missed this either.

Davidson and Fox costarred in Paper magazine's "Break the Internet" issue that year, which was the year after the SNL star became responsible for singlehandedly launching the term "BDE" (via The Cut writer Allison P. Davis).

As a cheeky nod to the whole concept, the shoot was Barbie and Ken-themed, with Davidson sporting a naked Ken doll crotch and legs. The photos are here if I'm not making any sense right now.

Spotting a golden opportunity as West and Fox' relationship became increasingly public, Paper reposted a photo from the shoot on their Instagram in early January. "These images tell a story. What that story is, I’m not exactly sure. Drop your theories below," the magazine captioned the post.

They continued, "#Linkinbio to revisit our shoot with Pete Davidson and Julia Fox before they went their separate ways to… the following slides." The following slides in question show Kardashian's, then West's, respective Paper covers. Ge-nius.

Tommy Dorfman, who took the photos and interviewed Davidson for the cover story, commented, "i’m dead."

One fan articulated my thoughts much better than I could have: "The fact that Julia and Pete did the shoot together snd now Julia is with Kanye and Pete is with kim like WHAT IS THIS." Quite right. What is this, please? Is it a coincidence? But it's a Kardashian we're talking about. And a Ye. I mean, these two don't tend to leave much up to luck, so are they up to something?

Meanwhile, Rolling Stone seems to believe that it's Davidson and Fox who are up to something. I'll just be over here shrugging my shoulders into oblivion.

And if that wasn't enough weirdness for one article, journalist Meehika Barua also pointed out something preeetty spooky over on Twitter. "Am I the only one who can't stop obsessing over the fact that Julia Fox is 13 years younger to Kanye and Pete Davidson is 13 years younger to Kim? The synchronicity here," she wrote. Hmmmmmm.

Julia Fox has dominated headlines (including in this magazine) since she started dating Kanye "Ye" West. But she wants to be clear: She doesn't want the attention her new relationship is bringing her—apart from when it comes to her work.

"It’s funny cause I’m getting all of this attention, but I really couldn’t care," the Uncut Gems actress declared on her Forbidden Fruits podcast (via the Independent).

"People are like 'Oh, you’re only in it for the fame, you’re in it for the clout, you’re in it for the money,'" she said, going on to explain why that argument doesn't hold up. "Honey, I’ve dated billionaires my entire adult life, let’s keep it real." Cool!

Instead, Fox is focusing on "putting things into the world" right now, and she wants you to pay attention.

"Watch my movie, read my book," she continued. "That is more thrilling to me now than eyes on me. I couldn’t care less."

The book in question is her 2015 photography booked titled PTSD. It's available here, but trigger warning for blood, drug use, violence and nudity.

Fox previously detailed how she met West in an essay for Interview. "At the restaurant, Ye directed an entire photo shoot for me while people dined!" she wrote. "The whole restaurant loved it and cheered us on while it was happening. After dinner Ye had a surprise for me. I mean, I’m still in shock. Ye had an entire hotel suite full of clothes. It was every girl’s dream come true. It felt like a real Cinderella moment."

The two are currently enjoying their time together at Paris Fashion Week.

Here to stay? After Kanye West (legal name: Ye) was linked to several women since the dissolution of his marriage to Kim Kardashian, his new liaison with Julia Fox seems to be sticking—although sources have implied it's not serious between them.

West and Fox have made like Emily and jetted off to Paris for Fashion Week, and have been making a splash by matching their couture outfits for each event.

One particularly bold choice of theirs was to recreate Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's cult but controversial 2001 Canadian tuxedos—although, it has to be said, West and Fox' 2022 version is slightly more elevated than this:

To attend the Kenzo runway show, the rapper wore an oversized, puffy denim jacket and pale denim jeans, accessorizing with cool sunglasses and massive knee-high black boots.

The Uncut Gems actress wore a cropped, buttoned-up denim jacket fitted with, um, bra cones? They look like something out of a Katy Perry music video, OK? That's the best description I can do—I'm not a fashion editor. Sorry.

Fox paired this jacket/top/bra with baggy low-rise jeans, blue boots and giant gold earrings. She stunned in a dramatic eyeliner look.

The couple also wore matching Donda-style all-black leather looks for the Schiaparelli show:

If that face-covering black hood on Ye looks familiar, it's because he has worn similar looks to promote his latest album—and so has his ex-wife, most notably at the Met Gala.

Last but not least, Julia Fox proved she's not opposed to a little pop of color in a PVC-like red slit dress over even shinier silver heeled boots. Sacrebleu!

Kanye West made headlines this past weekend when he claimed he hadn't been invited to daughter Chicago's birthday party, then was able to attend thanks to Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott—but no thanks to ex Kim Kardashian.

As for Kardashian, she was reported to have been taken aback by West's claims. According to a source in the know, he had always been invited if he wanted to be.

Now, a new source tells Us Weekly that Kardashian and her family aren't thrilled with West's claims and recent actions. "Kanye has caused a lot of drama lately with the family [and] they’re not happy with what’s transpired over the last few days," the source says. The Kardashians say West is "uncontrollable" and sharing publicly what amounts to "private matters."

West also previously claimed that his ex wouldn't let him in the house, even when their eldest daughter North wanted to show him something. She "wouldn’t deny him access to the kids," Us Weekly's source says. She "just wants more boundaries and structure, a set parenting plan."

Kardashian isn't loving living in limbo right now following her divorce filing. She is "hoping the divorce is settled soon," the insider concludes. She is "ready for that chapter to close for good."

Kardashian and West, who share children North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm, announced their separation in early 2021. Both stars have since appeared to move on, with Kardashian firing up a surprising flame with SNL comedian Pete Davidson, and West flaunting his new relationship with actress Julia Fox.

But that's not the whole story: West has also repeatedly been rumored to want his ex-wife back, and has even admitted to it himself. You won't be particularly shocked to hear that the ex-wife in questions finds it "strange."

This past weekend, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's daughter Chicago celebrated her fourth birthday in style, but there was unfortunately way more drama surrounding the party than you'd expect from any other family.

West claimed before the event that he hadn't been told where it would be held, and was pretty upset about missing such a big milestone in his daughter's life.

"Y’all, I was just wishing my daughter a public happy birthday," the rapper said on Instagram (via Us Weekly). "I wasn’t allowed to know where her party was, there’s nothing legal that’s saying that this is the kind of game that’s being played. It’s the kind of thing that really has affected my health for the longest and I’m just not playing. I’m taking control of my narrative this year. … I did call Kim, texted nannies. I got on the phone with Tristan [Thompson], he asked Khloé [and] won’t nobody give me the address to my daughter’s birthday party right now. That’s gonna imprint in her mind that I wasn’t there for her."

But a source told Us Weekly that West had in fact been told where the party would be, and was welcome to come along if he wanted to.

Whoever is telling the truth in this instance, all's well that ends well, and West was able to attend little Chicago's birthday after all—with a little help from Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott.

"Yo, I’m so happy right now," he said on Instagram later. "I just came from Chi’s party and I just gotta shout out to Travis Scott for sending me the address and the time and making sure that I was able to spend that birthday memory with my daughter to be there with the rest of the family."

Then, it was Jenner's turn to come to West's rescue. "I just saw everybody," he continued. "It was, you know, Kris [Jenner] and Corey [Gamble] and Kylie. Kylie let me in right when I got to the spot because the security, you know, stopped me, once again when I got there. It’s just a matter of just having a conversation, open dialogue and it was just, everyone just had a great time. I’m just really happy that I could be there for my children. I just want to thank everybody’s support in this situation [and] let me just calmly and legally take control of my narrative."

West also previously claimed that Kardashian wouldn't let him into her house while Pete Davidson was there. Hoo boy.

It’s important to recognize that people say and do things all the time for the sake of art that they wouldn’t actually go through with in real life. Like, the actress Sally Hawkins would probably never actually hook up with a scaly fish-person who she helped to break out of a government laboratory. There are other examples, probably. The point is, let’s take it with a grain of salt when we hear that Kanye West released a snippet of a new song in which he expresses his intention to “beat Pete Davidson’s ass.” OK?

Per Deadline, West—who recently changed his name legally to Ye—released a snippet of a new song called “My Life Was Never Eazy,” a collaboration with rapper The Game, in which Ye raps the lyrics: “God saved me from that crash / Just so I could beat Pete Davidson’s ass.” The crash lyric refers to a terrifying car accident that West was involved in back in 2002 that left him with a shattered jaw, but ultimately led to a wave of creativity that would rocket him to superstardom. The line about Pete Davidson presumably refers to the fact that the Saturday Night Live actor has been romantically linked with Ye’s ex, Kim Kardashian, who filed for divorce from the rapper early last year and then filed to be legally declared single a few months ago. 

This gives inquiring minds much to consider! For example, despite his recent high-profile dating adventures with actress Julia Fox, it’s a reminder that West hasn’t been shy about his desire to reconcile with Kardashian—free-styling onstage about how he wants her to come back to him, moving into a house right next to hers, and also just publicly telling people that he thinks they should get back together. It’s even been speculated that West’s relationship with Fox is an elaborate (but reportedly ineffective) ploy to make Kim “jealous.” It's also cause to consider the fact that Ye is reportedly five-foot-eight, where Pete is reportedly six-foot-three. Something to think about!

But Ye is also an artist, one who has made a career out of using his lyrics to stir up controversy or mock rumors about himself. So, again, grain of salt when it comes to taking these newest lyrics too literally. 

The timing of the release may prove more problematic than its contents for Ye anyway. According to the BBC, Ye is being investigated as a “named suspect” in a Los Angeles-area battery that occurred early Thursday morning. No arrests have been made. 

We’ll update with any more news, either of the allegation or of Pete’s reaction to being named in a Ye song. 

Look, I've explained this before: Just because Kanye West has dated, like, several people in the past few months doesn't mean he isn't trying to get his ex-wife back, OK?

In the latest news that is going to be super fun for the rapper's new girlfriend Julia Fox to hear, West is apparently just dating her to get back at ex-wife Kim Kardashian—although to be fair, it sounds like Fox kind of knows that's all this is.

"Kanye and Julia are having a good time hanging out and getting to know each other better. They're both creative and think outside of the box," a source tells Entertainment Tonight. "Kanye is trying to make Kim jealous by being very public with Julia. He is trying to make a point. Julia thinks Kanye is really cool and is also just enjoying the ride while it lasts."

Well, as long as it works for both of them.

That said, it sounds like West's ploy isn't exactly working, and Kardashian is actually happy for him, which is just a tad ironic TBH. Sources tell TMZ that the SKIMS founder is glad that her ex is dating a Kardashian fan and thinks that this will make everyone's life easier if the relationship between West and Fox lasts and she ends up being a stepmom to North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.

For her part, Kardashian seems to be totally thriving. She has posted some super hot outfits on Instagram, and her relationship with comedian Pete Davidson looks like it's going from to strength to strength.

As for West, he has been rumored to want Kardashian back several times (and has said things to that effect himself, too), and she reportedly "thinks it's strange." So... yeah...

Just when you thought it was safe to finally mute the names “Kim Kardashian” and “Kanye West” on Twitter, we're gifted with some of the most interesting celebrity gossip in eons. 

In case you decided to spend the beginning of the year with family or leaning into your New Year’s resolution to “be less online” (good for you, but come back for this one), there has, of late, been much ado about the newest celeb couple in town. To wit: Kanye West, or “Ye” as he now legally uses, took Uncut Gems actress Julia Fox out on a date. Why so much ado? Well, several reasons. 

First, said date was meticulously documented by photographers and released in exclusive photo spreads for both People and Interview magazines. That’s some serious coverage to just willingly hand off to the public! Second, because Julia Fox penned a story about said date alongside the Interview spread shortly after it occurred. In the piece, Fox shared details from their whirlwind romance—from meeting in Miami and attending a New Year’s Eve bash and then lunch at impossible-to-get-a-reservation Italian joint Carbone, to flying to New York to catch a production of playwright Jeremy O. Harris’s Slave Play on Broadway and then dinner at the other location of Carbone. Along the way there was an impromptu photo shoot at—you guessed it—Carbone, a fashion fitting in a hotel suite, and some steamy PDA. As one does.

And third, because shortly before these images and article were released, Ye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian, who filed to be declared legally single in mid-December, was photographed in the Bahamas on a romantic getaway with her rumored 28-year-old SNL boyfriend Pete Davidson. Which begs a few questions about the timing of Ye’s interesting date night, no? But we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

So why the public push around Ye and Fox, two hot famous people, dating each other? Is it merely an eccentric billionaire and his muse du jour exploring all that being incredibly wealthy has to offer? Yet another spontaneous exhibition by a rapper who has historically displayed a creative approach to—albeit shaky grasp of—“performance art?” Is it something else entirely? 

Here are some of the internet's best theories about why the public is being offered so much information about this relationship, broken down for your discernment (and because my boyfriend has declared he “doesn’t care” about this enough to discuss it with me, despite the fact that I already catalogued these theories for easy perusal):

1.) All the coverage is Ye’s attempt to distract from something else.

Let’s get the most detailed theory out of the way first. The Daily Beast’s Marlow Stern warns that, while West’s antics with Fox may at first blush look like a response to Kim’s relationship with Pete Davidson (itself a rumored distraction from the Astroworld tragedy involving Travis Scott and, by extension, Kylie Jenner), it’s actually meant to call attention away from something sinister.

You may recall that Ye was a big supporter of Donald Trump before and during the 2020 election cycle, including after his own failed bid for president. (In response to a chaotic rally held by Ye, Kim released a statement that alluded to the fact that West may have been suffering a mental health crisis—something West denied.) Ye was routinely spotted sporting a MAGA hat, and tweeted his support for Trump. As recently as last Thursday, West was photographed having a friendly lunch in Miami with former Trump staffer and continuous Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner. 

But that all leads to the theory at hand. While we were watching his date night with Julia Fox, Stern notes that Ye’s reported publicist, Trevian Kutti, was outed in a December Reuters investigation for threatening a Georgia election official who had been singled out by Trump. During his media tour to spread election misinformation in the wake of his failed run for a second term (the same tour that ended in an insurrection at the country’s Capitol), the ex-president falsely accused one specific Georgia official of tampering with election results, and video of the woman counting ballots (a normal task for election officials) became part of a larger election loss lie.

In a piece published December 23, Reuters reported that Kutti actually showed up at the home of the official following the election, claiming to be sent by an unnamed “high profile individual” and threatening the woman and her family members with unspecified harm if she did not confess to the false accusations of election fraud. The police got involved, and eventually told the woman not to return home for her own safety. Kutti did not respond to Reuters’ request for comment, and a spokesperson for Ye said that Kutti was not at the time and is not currently a member of West’s team.

In short: The Beast piece is suggesting that the highly publicized nature of the Fox romance is actually an elaborate ploy to distract from a totally unrelated incident with the potential to make Ye look pretty bad if it got a lot of attention.

Very intriguing theory. What else we got?

2.) Ye is hoping the press coverage makes Kim jealous.

When it comes to understanding why this new romance is getting splashed all over the internet, Page Six suggests we look at the divorce of it all. A source reportedly close to Kim told the publication, “It’s a desperate play for attention. There’s no other explanation when he chooses … [Fox] to go public with.”

Ye’s attempts to “win” Kim back aren’t exactly a secret. In addition to a series of supermodels he’s been connected to since the dissolution of their marriage, he’s also been pretty blunt about his desire to reunite with Kardashian. According to TMZ, at a show in Los Angeles in December, West began freestyling during a rendition of his song “Runaway” with the lyrics, “Run right back to me…More specifically, Kimberly.” (For her part, Kim reportedly thought it “strange” that he would make this attempt to woo her while he was linked romantically to the model Vinetria.)

Another source told the Sun that Kim isn’t too worried about this latest possible ploy. "Kim thinks it's another desperate attempt to make her jealous. She honestly doesn't care, she's very over him at this point so his little game isn't working,” they told the publication, adding, “All she cares about right now involving Kanye is raising their four kids and making sure they have a happy life, that's it.”

So this theory could track. Julia Fox is a solid jealousy-making date choice, as she has both cool cred (because Uncut Gems is the perennial fave of a certain hip film set) and hot babe cred (because she, like Kim, is an objectively hot babe).

Also, this theory could be added on top of other theories. Theories, for example, like…

3.) This is actually about Julia Fox and Pete Davidson.

Many New Yorkers were already aware of Julia Fox before this recent "Kanye's new girlfriend" press push, mainly because, as aforementioned, she is very cool. The 31-year-old has been an “It” girl in the NYC nightlife scene for ages, and her role in Uncut Gems was actually written specifically for her. But New York fame doesn’t automatically translate to worldwide fame, and no doubt these Ye outings have seriously increased her visibility.

One conspiracy theory floated on Twitter and reported on by Newsweek suggests that the relationship with Ye actually involves Pete Davidson, with whom Fox was photographed in a 2019 Paper magazine spread as the Barbie to his Ken (see it here.)

Is this, as another social media user described, a ploy to make Julia Fox “famous enough” to date Pete Davidson? Could Pete Davidson and Julia Fox be the puppet masters of a wider conspiracy, itself a commentary on the fleeting nature of online fame?! Is all of this somehow a three-dimensional love pyramid with four points on the base, rather than a two-dimensional love triangle with three points?!?! 

Actually, this one feels too dumb to be true. A fun theory, if half-baked. 

4.) Most of reality is just Balenciaga spon.

Here comes my personal favorite. As reported by Naomi Fry in the New Yorker, who appears to also be spending the weekend pontificating on this subject, Balenciaga has been oddly present throughout the West-Kardashian divorce timeline. Sure, the “hotel suite full of clothes” that West bestowed upon Fox during their tryst was filled with various designer duds, but both of them donned Balenciaga throughout the date weekend.

Writes Fry: “The role played here by Balenciaga, with whose designer, Demna Gvasalia, West and Kardashian have forged a particularly close relationship in recent years, was intriguing. Observers had already noted the strangeness of the separated couple continuing to deck themselves in the brand, almost as if they were still coördinating outfits.” (Dieresis the New Yorker’s, obviously.)

Fry continued, “By continuing to wear Balenciaga…Kardashian and West signalled a kind of outré uniformity that continued to tie them together in a common aesthetic project, if not in a romantic relationship. And now Fox was wearing the brand.”

The article also cited a tweet by writer Patrik Sandberg that reads, “To sponsor and dress a celebrity divorce feels like a cynical yet brilliant new breed of endorsement.”

Cynical and brilliant? Sign me up for this theory. 

And while we're down this "Kim is in on it" rabbit hole, isn't it curious that Kim herself was interviewed by Jeremy O. Harris for i-D in December, and then Ye and Fox went to see Harris's show Slave Play and had dinner with him after it? Curious indeed!

Regardless, anything that gets more people to follow the work of Jeremy O. Harris is probably a net good. 

Next!

5.) Ye likes Julia Fox, Julia Fox likes Ye, and everybody likes attention.

Okay so this one posits that Ye could also just be a famous person bestowing lavish gifts and worldwide attention upon a new girlfriend to impress her. Which...well, yeah. Occam’s Razor and all that.

And sure, is publicizing your big date with exclusive photo spreads in consumer magazines and elaborate set pieces involving trendy restaurants, plays, and designers kind of weird? Of course it is. That’s why we’re here. But do famous people, including but not limited to Ye and the Kardashians, do weird stuff all the time? Also a resounding yes. 

And so this could be a totally innocuous display by someone who has been in the public eye long enough to know that if you willingly offer the fandom some nuggets of insider info, they may leave you alone when it comes to other matters.

Ultimately, the only thing we can know for sure is that gossip is fun and, for some of us (I won’t speak for everyone but please note that you are reading this), it’s mildly entertaining to pose theories about celebrities we will never meet on a cold winter day. I’m comfortable with that being the case, too.

Nobody will be taking the "most unpredictable celebrity" crown from Kanye West (AKA Ye) any time soon.

The rapper apparently still harbors the dream of winning back ex-wife Kim Kardashian a year after news broke of their impending divorce, even though he has been dating several other people since then.

"She's the only one in his heart and he believes they are soulmates and will end up back together," an insider tells E! News. "The other women that he is spending time with are a distraction. He likes the attention that he's getting from them, but that's all it is. Kim is still the only one he truly wants to be with." Cool, well that's fun for the other women in question, I guess?

West was reportedly dating—and living with—a model named Vinetria back in December. At the time, a source spoke to Page Six about how Kardashian felt about the situation. "She thinks it’s strange that Kanye keeps saying he wants her back, but all the while he’s got the model at his Malibu house," they said.

Since then, West has been spotted out and about with artist Audri Nix and, most recently, actress Julia Fox (pictured with him in New York City below).

West has been rumored to want the mother of his children back many times after she filed for divorce from him in February 2021. Back in August, for example, a source told Entertainment Tonight, "Kanye wants to get back with Kim and he has been trying to win her over again and reprove himself."

Kardashian, however, seems to have well and truly moved on. Her relationship with Pete Davidson has evolved rapidly since it started up in the fall, and appears to be going strong.

Kim Kardashian is confused. Why is Kanye West (legal name: Ye) trying to get her back when he's dating someone new?

The rapper has been rumored to want to get back together with his ex-wife for months, and has made public statements to that effect, too. Last week, he sang the words, "I need you to run right back to me, more specifically Kimberly" during a Los Angeles performance.

Soon after, Kardashian filed documents to be considered officially single and lose the "West" from her name, per TMZ. She apparently has no interest in getting back with her ex, who is reportedly dating a model named Vinetria.

"Kim is making a statement by doubling down that she’s single," a source tells Page Six. "She thinks it’s strange that Kanye keeps saying he wants her back, but all the while he’s got the model at his Malibu house."

Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021, with a source saying she was "sad, but ready to move on." During her Saturday Night Live monologue in October, the SKIMS founder joked about their separation, saying, "so when I divorced him, you have to know that it came down to just one thing: his personality."

Since then, she has indeed moved on, and is now dating SNL star Pete Davidson. "He's exactly what Kim needed after her divorce—someone to make her laugh and just have a fun time with," a source previously told People. "The end of her marriage was a very dark time for her and Pete has been the best antidote."

'Tis the season in the Kardashian household. To celebrate, Kim Kardashian has pulled a Christmas move almost worthy of Mariah Carey and hired a Grammy-winning pianist to just... come to her house and play Christmas music to wake up her kids. To be fair, we are talking about a woman who recently spent $10k on a ponytail, so what was she going to do, buy an alarm clock? Please.

The SKIMS founder posted a video of Philip Cornish at the grand piano of her Calabasas home (presumably) on Instagram Stories. In it, he is playing a festive classic while looking out at Kardashian's gigantic Christmas tree. Kardashian captioned it, "Good morning! Every morning during the month of December @philthekeys comes to play Christmas music on the piano to wake up the kids."

According to his Instagram bio, Cornish is a Grammy-winning producer, writer, musical director and pianist, and has worked with the likes of Usher and Jessie J. Someone else he has worked with very closely? Oh, nobody, just Kanye West, Kardashian's ex-husband and father to her four children.

So basically Cornish took a side hustle from his job as West's music director to come wake up his kids with his award-winning musical skills. Well, I suppose there are worse ways to pass the time, eh?

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson spent the weekend together—again—and it sounds like things are going really well between them right now.

"He's exactly what Kim needed after her divorce—someone to make her laugh and just have a fun time with," a source tells People. "The end of her marriage was a very dark time for her and Pete has been the best antidote."

Though the lovebirds live on opposite coasts, they're not letting that small detail keep them apart. "He's flying back and forth and spending more time in L.A. when he can to see Kim," the source adds. "He's so into her and is always 'my girl' this and 'my girl' that."

That said, Kardashian and Davidson are keeping things light and breezy for the time being. Though Davidson has hung out with momager Kris Jenner, he "hasn't met her kids yet," a second source tells People. Kardashian shares children North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm with ex-husband Kanye West.

"She still loves the attention," the insider says. "They have been getting to know each other quickly. Kim likes him more and more."

The unlikely pair was confirmed as a couple two weeks ago. "They are really happy and seeing where it goes," a source told E! News at the time. "Pete has told her he doesn't want to see anyone else."

Rumors that the comedian and SKIMS founder were dating began during Halloweekend, when they were photographed holding hands on a rollercoaster. They then promptly met up again to have dinner in New York City two nights in a row.

Most recently, Davidson was spotted sporting a giant hickey on his neck, a development that sent the internet into meltdown. Whatever floats these two's boat is fine by me!

When it was announced that Kim Kardashian West would be hosting Saturday Night Live this season, it’s probably fair to assume that many people had fairly low expectations. After all, the family’s long-running TV show featured some spectacularly hackneyed line reads and that was allegedly reality. But something to remember about Kim is that she is used to people’s low expectations of her—and has become a true pro when it comes to flipping those expectations upside-down. Never underestimate Kim, that’s the lesson here.

So with that in mind, you’ll be unsurprised to hear that her SNL monologue was genuinely funny—and, for someone who carefully orchestrates her public image as much as Kim does, surprisingly revealing! She really went there, joking about her late dad, Robert Kardashian’s defense of O.J. Simpson, her mom’s helicopterish momagerial style, and her relationship with Kanye, whom she divorced earlier this year. (Though the two remain close, and he reportedly even visited her on-set and offered advice as she prepared for her SNL debut.)

“I married the best rapper of all time,” Kim said of her ex-husband during the monologue. “And not only that, he’s the richest Black man in America; a talented, legit genius who gave me four incredible kids. So when I divorced him, you have to know that it came down to just one thing: His personality.” (The line got applause, though she admitted that it sounded “mean.”)

Other jokes that felt a little barbed? Kim’s praise of her mom Kris, for having the foresight to avoid a certain unsavory name. “With all of the ‘K’ names it’s really impressive that my mom didn’t pick ‘Karen.’ Somehow she just knew,” said Kim. “I don’t know how she saw that one coming and not Caitlyn.” Yow.

Caitlyn and Kanye bore the brunt of the jokes that Kim made—at one point, she even got them both at the same time by faking an announcement for a political run and then saying she was kidding because “we can’t have three failed politicians in one family”—but her sisters didn’t get out entirely unscathed. After introducing how she wanted to host the sketch show in order to show she was more than just a pretty face “and good hair, and great makeup, and amazing boobs, and a perfect butt,” she added, “Basically, I’m just so much more than that reference photo my sisters showed their plastic surgeons.” That is savage. Well done, Kim, for understanding the assignment.

Watch the entire monologue below:

Petition to have Kim back to host again, anyone?

Kanye West has unfollowed ex-wife Kim Kardashian on Instagram, but there doesn't really seem to be any bad blood between the two. West, or "Ye" as he wants to be known, now only follows 14 people, including Solange Knowles. All of the users he follows have matched their profile pic to his, making it simply a black circle, which is a nod to the art from West's latest album, Donda.

Meanwhile, Kardashian isn't acting like a woman scorned in the slightest. Her Met Gala look by Balenciaga, which covered even her face in black fabric, was directly inspired by Donda. She even shared a similar look by the same label in August, with the hashtag #DONDA. She was also still heavily promoting the album just two weeks ago.

This head-turning red-carpet look was also almost like an all-black version of the wedding dress and thick veil Kardashian wore to a Donda listening party in August. This look also obscured her face.

The exes' relationship post-divorce has been somewhat confusing, and West unfollowing Kardashian on a platform that's so important to her is further muddying the waters.

On his already-infamous new album, the musician claimed both that Kardashian is still in love with him and that he cheated on her. On the other hand, sources have claimed that he actually wants his wife back, but that's she's prioritizing the kids above all else.

Kardashian has shown a lot of goodwill towards her ex recently. Beyond promoting his music, she also decided to keep "West" in her name and praised his influence on her during a podcast appearance. Make of that what you will.

Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye West in February 2021, but West reportedly isn't totally over her. "Kanye wants to get back with Kim and he has been trying to win her over again and reprove himself," a source recently told Entertainment Tonight.

Explaining why West wants to get back together with his ex-wife, and how Kardashian feels about it, the source continued, "Kim and Kanye have a deep love for each other and many amazing memories and it's difficult to just let that all go. Kim's main focus and concern are her children and doing what is best for them and their family." The source implied that Kardashian may be "considering" going there with West.

This comes after Kardashian shocked fans by wearing a wedding dress to West's Donda album listening party, walking to meet him to the sound of organ music—as if they were actually getting married. During the event, West apparently told Kardashian, "you look pretty," and both seemed happy to be close to one another, according to onlookers.

In one of the songs off the new album, West raps that Kardashian is "still in love" with him. Although Kardashian hasn't admitted to anything like that, she has reportedly made the decision to keep "West" in her name after the divorce.

The reality star and entrepreneur also spoke about what her ex added to her life as part of a recent podcast episode. Speaking to hosts Kristen Bell and Monica Padman, Kardashian said, "I got to a point—and maybe being in a relationship with Kanye for, you know, a decade, someone that absolutely didn't care about likability factor or what any perception of him was, as long as he was true to himself—that taught me so much in the best way, of just being me and living in the moment, and you don't have to please everyone. As long as I'm myself, and as long as I'm doing it the way that I want to do, like you have one life and you're living it for you—that taught me to just, I think, be more confident in myself, and truly not care as much of what other people thought."

At Kanye West's listening event Donda, which has garnered significant controversy, Kim Kardashian West made a dramatic appearance: it looked like she was re-marrying the singer-songwriter-producer in a wedding dress and veil from Balenciaga's Fall 2021 Haute Couture collection. In real life, the two are are in the process of getting a divorce, which makes the fake ceremony—recreating their 2014 wedding—all the more surprising.

And according to a source talking exclusively to Us Weekly, we have more details of exactly how that onstage moment went down. “He was smiling so hard you could feel his energy radiate as he was looking at her,” said the eyewitness. “If you watch the video from the [event], you will see he said, ‘You look pretty.'”

The source explained that no one knew the rapper's estranged wife would be making an appearance, but that it was emotional: Kardashian West had a “beautiful aura” when she came on stage. “His face lit up ... The choir was singing during the song and everyone started to tear up.”

Fans were confused, to say the least, but “if other people think it’s strange, it’s OK, because Kim doesn’t,” the person added. “She thinks it’s cool, great for his art and their relationship and loves to show her kids how much she supports him.”

According to a source talking to People, it's not that the couple is getting back together but "this more holistic sense of love as a healing force," adding, "The thing that's important is it's not at all about them getting back together or something like that."

Kardashian West shared photos of her onstage as well as backstage photos with her, West, and their children. She hasn't commented publicly about some of the controversy, but reports are indicating she might not have known about some of the aspects from the performance beforehand.

Kanye West hosted a live-streamed listening party ahead of the release of Donda, his latest studio album, on Aug. 27—a fairly standard thing to do. But because Ye is Ye (no, really), this listening party ended up being anything but standard.

The album is named after his mom, Donda, who passed away in 2007. As part of the rapper's homage to her, West recreated his childhood home as a set for the Chicago listening party, according to E!.

Controversial guests at the event included DaBaby and Marilyn Manson, but it was the ending that got fans losing their minds. Special effects made it look like West was bursting up in flames, after which a figure in a wedding dress and semi-opaque veil appeared. Viewers immediately assumed this was Kim Kardashian, or at least someone meant to stand in for her, but TMZ confirmed it was in fact Kardashian herself who showed up to support her ex-husband. She walked to join him to the sound of organs playing.

Fans took to Twitter to digitally rub their chins. "Did Kanye just end the event by remarrying Kim Kardashian?" asked one confused user. "Kim and Kanye are the weirdest divorcing couple I've ever seen," remarked another.

Clearly, the ex-spouses are on very good terms these days, if Kardashian is willing to recreate a wedding scene with West. The TV personality and entrepreneur also recently reflected on what her ex had added to her life during a podcast episode.

"I got to a point—and maybe being in a relationship with Kanye for, you know, a decade, someone that absolutely didn't care about likability factor or what any perception of him was, as long as he was true to himself—that taught me so much in the best way, of just being me and living in the moment, and you don't have to please everyone," she told hosts Kristen Bell and Monica Padman. "As long as I'm myself, and as long as I'm doing it the way that I want to do, like you have one life and you're living it for you—that taught me to just, I think, be more confident in myself, and truly not care as much of what other people thought."
