Kim Kardashian appeared on Instagram on Saturday to share a single photo with her second child, son Saint. The 43-year-old mogul and her eight-year-old son, who she shares with ex-husband Kanye West, posed side by side in the snap. Kardashian — who is also mom to North, ten, Chicago, six, and Psalm, four — donned sleek, wraparound sunglasses and puckered her famous pout. She was dressed in a nude turtleneck layered underneath a black, long-sleeve, zip-up Balenciaga jacket.
It comes after Kanye, 46, took to social media this week to blast their latest parenting disagreement. In the caption of her weekend post, the mother-of-four simply used a single spade emoji. The post has so far racked up more than 260,000 likes from her 364 million followers on the popular photo-sharing app. The photo showed a wide-eyed Saint playfully poking out his tongue and holding his index finger over his mouth.
Kardashian is reportedly upset with Kanye after he begged her to remove their children from an exclusive elementary school via a note posted to Instagram. ‘Kim take my kids out of Sierra Canyon now it’s a fake school for celebrities that are used by “the system,”‘ Kanye express in all capital letters. A source told TMZ that Kim ‘is frustrated with his constant public attacks and naming of the school because it creates safety and security concerns each and every time for their children.’ She is also frustrated that the rap artist told their children that ‘school isn’t necessary,’ according to the insider.
The person close to the situation added that Kim enrolled the kids at Sierra Canyon for its reputation as a ‘fantastic school’ and because ‘their children need consistency in their lives.’ ‘The only solution Kanye has offered in [place] of the school — where the kids have been enrolled since pre-school — has been to place them with unaccredited teachers and his own unaccredited Donda school, which has been riddled with lawsuits,’ added the insider. The source also said Kim did permit their children to participate in after-school activities at Donda, but the school has since closed down. In Kanye’s post, he cryptically elaborated on the ‘system.’
‘I was removed from my dad by the system and the system removed me from my children,’ he claimed, though a judge awarded Kim and Kanye joint custody with ‘equal access’ to their children at the conclusion of their custody battle. ‘When the system drafts athletes they avoid working with those who have their father in their life because they are harder to manipulate,’ he continued. The rapper concluded: ‘My two oldest know [their] daddy is.’
The exes previously worked out a compromise in which the children would attend Sierra Canyon for the school day, then go to West’s school for choir practice. In 2022, Kim began paying for Sierra Canyon to hire additional security in response to her ex-husband’s controversial and offensive comments, including several antisemitic outbursts. However, she made it clear that she wasn’t concerned about West harming the children, but that she feared for their safety after he publicly named their school during a rant about their education.
