LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: If Khloe Kardashian is anything, it is that she constantly tries to be kind to everyone, regardless of how awkward the circumstances might seem.

Notwithstanding Kanye West's tumultuous relationship with her sister Kim Kardashian, the 'Kardashians' actress embraced her former brother-in-law with love.

The 'Donda' rapper and the mother of two were spotted giving a quick hug in photos and video obtained by Page Six on Thursday night, January 11, while they were at West's son Saint's basketball game in Los Angeles.

They watched the game together while seated close to one another.



 

Together with Tristan Thompson's 5-year-old daughter True and her 7-year-old niece Dream, Khloe attended her nephew's athletic event in Los Angeles.

The 39-year-old 'Good American' co-founder looked sharp with a black shirt, Jordan sneakers, and a long beige coat.

West, 46, paired his classic black sweater and matching trousers with his newly released Yeezy pod sneakers.



 

Internet splits over Khloe Kardashian's loving gesture towards Kanye West

Following the 'Good American' founder's loving gesture toward West, users on the internet were divided in opinions, with one supporting the act and saying, "Why wouldn't she do that? Despite the many times Tristian has betrayed Khloe and shamed her, Kim graciously gives him chance after chance."

"Thank you Khloe, fighting for Kanye West when he was part of your crooked family," said a third one.



 



 



 

Others criticized the act, with one user slamming it and writing, "That fake "homewrecker" got you the best clicks in YEARS probably, hope the revenue from that can cover the lawsuit that's hopefully coming your way"

Another one seethed, "KANYE AND THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA HATE EACH OTHER, AND IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY FOR MANY. MANY, YEARS, A TOXIC AND TERRIBLE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS FACT BASED, NOT LYING BASED A MESS, AWFUL"



 



 

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's tumultuous relationship

Kim and the father of her four children—North, 10, Saint, 8, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 4—have not had a pleasant relationship, since filing for divorce in February 2021.

After their divorce in November 2022, West was ordered to pay the 43-year-old Skims founder $200,000 per month in child support.

The Grammy Award winner has also expressed his displeasure with their co-parenting arrangement on multiple occasions.

West rapped on a track titled 'True Love' in May 2022, saying, "Wait, when you see the kids? I’ll see y’all tomorrow / Wait, when the sunset? I see y’all tomorrow / Wait, when I pick ‘em up, I feel like they borrowed."

Most recently, he continued to make fun of Kim for their differences over child custody during an outburst in December 2023.

The 'All of the Lights' rapper exclaimed at the time, "I get visitation with my kids — I ain’t get no say so. They’re walking around with soccer players they don’t even f–king know."

Meanwhile, Kim sobbed uncontrollably when talking about how "f–king hard" it was to co-parent with West in a December 2022 interview.

She said on the 'Angie Martinez IRL' podcast at the time, "Co-parenting is hard. It’s really f***ing hard."

Kim revealed that she made an effort to keep her children away from their contentious father. She spoke of her late father Robert Kardashian and said, "I had the best dad, and I had the best memories and the greatest experience and that’s all I want for my kids as long as they can have that."
