Kim Kardashian and ex-husband Kanye West have found themselves co-parenting three years after their heartbreaking divorce.

Kim, 43, and Ye have a 10-year-old child, North. Saint, 8 years old. Chicago, 6 years old. And four psalms were born out of seven years of marriage.
Co-parenting hasn't been easy for the ex-girlfriends, but a source told US Sun that they've managed to work through their differences.

“I love it here, we're going to take over a year for free, yeah, that's your best friend, Miss Miss Westie. Don't try to test me.
“It's going to be a mess. It's going to be a mess, yeah, just bless me. Bless me. That's your best friend, Miss Miss Westie. Just bless me. Just bless me.” Please,” North rapped.

She also looked directly into the camera while sitting on the rapper's shoulders – the two looked almost identical to each other.
look down
However, Kim and Kanye still have their ups and downs, and recent glimpses of the former couple are evidence that their co-parenting relationship is a work in progress.
Last month, the former Kim Ye and his wife met while cheering on their son Saint's basketball game in Los Angeles, California.
Paparazzi captured the A-listers sitting in the same row but two seats apart.
Neither of them seemed to be talking when they sat together, and they were always looking at their phones when they weren't looking at the game.
However, the reality TV star seemed to recognize Kanye when he arrived at the gym with her daughter Chicago.
Kim was photographed with her daughter by her side as Kanye, who was already seated, looked at each other through a black screen.
family feud
Kim and Kanye have a long history, and last month's awkward standoff is a much better option than the previous public spat on social media the two have engaged in.
The Skkn by Kim founder and the rapper have had numerous altercations that have been covered in the media.
The two raised suspicions, disclosed many private situations, and even went so far as to involve their family, friends, and children.
On Friday, February 4, 2022, Kim and Kanye exchanged various insults and allegations.
Kanye took to his Instagram Story to accuse his ex-wife of duplicity regarding their four children.
The Yeezy founder posted a screenshot of North's TikTok video and tagged Kim in the shot.
The rapper asked his followers, “This is my first divorce, so here's what I need to know. What should I do about my daughter being posted on TikTok against my will?”
“America saw you try to kidnap my daughter on her birthday without giving her address,” the Can't Tell Me Nothing rapper wrote.
“You guarded me inside the house to play with my son, then accused me of stealing.”
She added, “After the Chicago party, I had to take a drug test because you accused me of using drugs.'' Tracy Romulus Manipulates Kim This Way Please stop…” he continued.
The same day, Kim responded to Kanye's claims on the same social media platform.
The TV personality said, “Kanye's constant attacks in interviews and on social media are actually more harmful than anything TikTok North can cause.”
It added: “Kanye's obsession with controlling and manipulating our situation so negatively and openly only brings more pain to everyone.”
uninvited guest
Kanye celebrated his daughter Chicago's fourth birthday in January 2022 after Kim claimed he “doesn't share party speeches.”
The rapper complained on Instagram that his attempts to contact multiple members of the Kardashian family about where to celebrate his daughter's fourth birthday were unsuccessful.
However, a video posted by a party attendee showed Kanye talking to his ex-stepmother Kris Jenner, 68.
Hours earlier, he had punched his mother while driving through Los Angeles, venting his frustrations that he had to make public just to wish his daughter “Happy Birthday.”
“Guys, I'm just celebrating my daughter's birthday publicly. I wasn't allowed to know where her party was.
“It's not legal. These kinds of games are being played.
“This is the kind of thing that has affected my health for a long time and I just haven't been playing,” he said in a video obtained by TMZ.
The fashion mogul said he was “in control” of his own narrative, insisting: “I'm the best father, your version of a father, but I can't let this happen.”
annoyed about pete
About a year after Kim split from Kanye, the American Horror Story actress started dating Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson, 30.
While it's natural for him to break up and date other people, Ye made it very clear that he wasn't happy about his ex-wife continuing her relationship with the comedian.
He called Pete “dumb,” threatened to “beat him up,” and accused Pete of trying to “destroy” his family in a variety of expletives.
In March 2022, the rapper was banned from Instagram for 24 hours after making violent threats against Pete.
That same month, he released two graphic music videos for his song “Eazy”.
The first video showed Kanye burying a cartoon version of Pete alive.
The second video showed Pete being beaten by a skinned monkey.
Later that year, after Kim and Pete broke up, Kanye shared an image of a fake New York Times headline that read, “Skate Davidson Dies at 28.”
“Skate” is a derogatory term Kanye uses for the Staten Island-born star.
In September, Kanye continued his long-running feud with the Bapkiss actor when he made a surprise threat to Pete in a sinister Instagram post.
“Ask Pete how my kids' tattoos are doing in the trauma room,” he posted against a black background.
Kanye was referring to Pete's neck tattoo that he got while dating Kim.
The tattoo reads “KNSCP,” representing Kim and her children's initials: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
Hard work
In December 2022, Kim was a guest on the Angie Martinez IRL Podcast and opened up about co-parenting with Kanye.
She got emotional, but admitted to the host that “co-parenting is really hard.”
Kim revealed that she tried her best to keep her children quiet about the issues she and their father were going through at the time.
“If they don't know what's being said, why would I bring that energy to them? That's real, heavy, adult shit that they're not prepared to deal with.
“When that happens, we'll have those conversations. Someday, my kids will thank me for not sitting here bashing their dad,” she said. .
The Los Angeles native added, “You can do it.”
Kim told Angie that she has “protected” Kanye's reputation and will continue to do so for the sake of their children.
“So in my house, the kids have no idea what's going on.” [in] The outside world,” she confessed.
“My kids don't know anything,” the former E! star asserted, adding, “At school, some of my best friends are teachers, so I know what's going on during recess and lunch.” revealed.
“I'm listening to what you're talking about.”
Kim also revealed that she has to put on a strong face for her children, saying, “If our kids want to listen to their dad's music when we're driving to school, no matter what experience we have… No matter what I do, I have to keep that smile on my face.” Come face to face with his music and sing along with your children.
”[I can] If you act like nothing has happened, you can burst into tears as soon as you drop the kids off. ”
Advance
Kanye remarried his current wife Bianca Sensori, 29, last year, and Kim is rumored to be dating NFL star Odell Beckham Jr.
It appears there is still some animosity between the former lovers, with both throwing jabs from time to time, but overall they are mentally and emotionally fit to do what is best for their children. It seems like there is.
Earlier this month, photos surfaced of Kim and Kanye hanging out with North and her teenage friends at Nobu in Malibu, showing her group wearing oversized shirts promoting Vultures.
The group was reported to have been partying at the school, but sources told the US Sun that they had just come to shoot a music video at an office in Calabasas, California.
“Kim is very supportive of North's involvement in her father's new music and was fully supportive of them filming a video together this week,” the source said.
“Kim also showed up at the Calabasas office shoot before heading to Nobu with Ye, North, and her little friends, who also appear in the promo.
“North planned everything with his father and did the storyboards himself. We know how much Kim loves being involved in the creative process.”
