The REAL reason behind Kim Kardashian and Bianca Censori’s shock hangout: Why SKIMS founder chose to put on a ‘united front’ with ex Kanye West and his new wife at rapper’s Vultures party
Kim Kardashian’s decision to watch her ex-husband Kanye West’s concert with his new wife, Bianca Censori, was part of a ‘concerted effort’ by the reality star to put on a ‘united front’ , insiders have revealed.
The Skims mogul, 43, and the controversial rapper, 46, famously finalized their divorce in November 2022, just a month before he married Bianca, 29, with the exes struggling to agree on how where they could co-parent their four young children.
But Kim “put her kids first” on Tuesday night as she joined daughter Chicago, 6, and son Psalm, 4, to see Kanye perform at his Vultures Listening Party alongside Bianca, who sources claim Kim now serves as a stepmother to her brood accepts.
“It’s not like Kim took to the streets for this,” a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. “She flew to San Francisco and of course Kanye was grateful. It was a collective effort on her part.”

It was the first time Kim and Bianca were seen together in public.
“Kim didn’t go there for Bianca, but she knew Bianca would be there,” the insider added, “They do talk. Kim has accepted that Bianca is her children’s stepmother and that they love her.’
Kim’s appearance at the event came as a shock in the wake of her reported disapproval of Kanye’s continued public outbursts over their parenting differences. They also have North, ten, and Saint, eight.
In recent months, the Grammy winner has begged the SKKN founder, who is dating Odell Beckham Jr., to remove their children from the exclusive elementary school they currently attend.
The exes had previously worked out a compromise where the kids would go to Sierra Canyon for school and then head to Kanye’s controversial Donda Academy 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 anti-Semitic outbursts.
However, she made it clear that she wasn’t worried about Kanye harming the children, but she feared for their safety after he publicly mentioned their school during a rant about their education.
Shortly after his offensive comments, Donda Academy announced it would abruptly close until the start of the next school year in 2024.
The Skims mogul, 43, and her rapper ex-husband, 46, finalized their divorce in November 2022 and have since clashed over how to raise their four children together.

The private school, named after the rapper’s late mother Donda West, later said in an email to parents that it would reopen the next day, but the current status of the school is unclear.
The insider continued, “Kanye’s criticisms of Kim, like schooling issues, don’t get in the way of her showing up and putting her kids first.
“Kim didn’t attend much of her ex-husband’s events, but she really wanted to show a united front for herself and her children.”
The source added, “Seeing Kanye in his element is what she loved about him and she’s happy to see him in his zone now.”
Despite nurturing a friendly relationship with Kanye’s new wife, Kim did have an issue with her bold fashion, but reportedly appreciates her opting for more conservative clothing around her children.
“She is very aware of the criticism Bianca receives for her clothing, but she also appreciates the fact that she layers more when she is around her children,” the source said.
DailyMail.com previously reported that Kim “instructed Kanye to never let Bianca dress like that around their children.”

Kanye’s best friend Justin LaBoy revealed that Bianca and Kanye will soon welcome a “bunch of babies” of their own.
The rapper hinted at his desire to have children in the lyrics of his recently released song Timbo Freestyle, which he previewed at a party in Las Vegas.
‘JYou already know I’m impulsive/And another baby is my end goal,” he sings.
