Kim Kardashian’s decision to watch her ex-husband Kanye West’s concert alongside 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 one month before he married Bianca, 29, with the exes struggling to agree on how to co-parent their four young kids.
But Kim ‘put her children first’ on Tuesday night as she joined daughter Chicago, six, and son Psalm, four, to watch Kanye perform at his Vultures Listening Party alongside Bianca, who sources claim Kim now accepts as a stepmother to her brood.
‘It’s not like Kim went down the street for this,’ a source exclusively told DailyMail.com. ‘She flew to San Francisco and, of course, Kanye was thankful. It was a concerted effort on her part.’

It marked the first time Kim and Bianca have been seen together in public.
‘Kim didn’t go there for Bianca, but she knew Bianca was going to be there,’ the insider added: ‘They do talk. Kim has accepted that Bianca is the stepmother to her children 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 about their parenting disagreements. 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 in which the children would attend Sierra Canyon for school, then go to Kanye’s controversial Donda Academy for choir practice.
In 2022, Kim started 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 concerned about Kanye harming the children, but she feared for their safety after he publicly named their school during a rant about their education.
Shortly after his offensive comments, the Donda Academy announced that it was abruptly closing until the start of the following school year in 2024.

The private school, which is named after the rapper’s late mother Donda West, later said in an email to parents that it was reopening the following day, but the school’s current status is unclear.
The insider continued: ‘Kanye’s criticism of Kim, such as issues with schooling, does not get in the way of her showing up and putting her children first.
‘Kim has not been present much at her ex-husband’s events, but she really wanted to show a united front for herself and for her kids.’
The source added: ‘Seeing Kanye in his element is what she loved about him and she’s glad to see that he is in his zone right now.’
Despite fostering an amicable relationship with Kanye’s new wife – Kim did have an issue with her her risqué fashion, but she is reportedly ‘appreciative’ of her opting for more conservative attire in front of her children.
‘She’s very aware of the criticism that Bianca receives over her clothing, but she is also appreciative of the fact that when she is around her children, she layers up more,’ the source added.
DailyMail.com previously reported that Kim had ‘instructed Kanye to never let Bianca dress like that around their kids.’

Australian-born Bianca has been pictured in a slew of headline-grabbing outfits since she married Kanye.
But in pictures with Kim’s children, Bianca’s outfits have been more reserved.
In a clip from Tuesday’s event, Bianca could be seen in a pink top as she filmed the performance on her phone with Kim standing next to her.
Kanye’s best friend Justin LaBoy revealed Bianca and Kanye may soon welcome a ‘bunch of babies’ of their own.
The rapper hinted at his desire to have a baby in the lyrics of his newly released track Timbo Freestyle, which he previewed at a party in Las Vegas.
‘You already know I’m impulsive/and another baby is my end goal,’ he sings.

Bianca seems to have the same end goal as her husband, with a source close to the Australian beauty recently telling DailyMail.com that she has ‘of course discussed baby plans with her family.’
However, here parents are reportedly concerned as they believe Kanye would not be able to provide a ‘stable’ home to raise their grandchildren.
