Kim and Kanye: Co-Parenting Like Pros, Despite the Drama
In a drama-filled world, it appears that former couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have mastered the art of co-parenting, at least in front of the cameras. Recently, the exes reunited backstage at the Hollywood Bowl for their daughter’s performance at a Lion King concert, a moment that was as wholesome as a Sunday church service—if your church also involved a backstage prayer circle with both parents holding hands with their child. Eleven-year-old North West crooned “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” while her parents cheered her on, proving that sometimes you can put aside your differences for the sake of your child.
Kim, who seemed about to have a heart attack from nerves, praised Kanye on his involvement, stating, “Her dad has been involved and he came to rehearsal.” According to her confessional, they both aim for “good vibes” when it comes to their kids. They even discussed production notes like a couple of high-strung directors. But let’s be real—when your child is about to perform in front of thousands, even former spouses can find common ground, right?
It’s no secret that co-parenting for Kim, who juggles North with her other three kids—Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—has its challenges. A source for People noted that while Kim is effectively a “single mom,” as Kanye is reportedly “sadly not around very much,” she maintains a focus on balancing her work and family life. In a public statement about the challenges of being a single parent, she said, “I have to sit here and not say anything…because I know one day my kids will appreciate that.”
This space for mutual support appears to be a refreshing change from their previous tumultuous interactions documented on social media. Kanye’s controversial remarks have had Kim on high alert, constantly assessing what is fair game for public consumption, especially when it deals with sensitive family matters. In the world of celebrity relationships, where everything is amplified and often chaotic, witnessing Kim and Kanye share a moment for their daughter is a win for the modern family.
New episodes of “The Kardashians” air every Thursday on Hulu, so if you want more reality show gold, you know where to look.
