LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Saint West, the 10-year-old son of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, has officially joined Instagram, where his mother quickly showed support by liking and commenting on his posts.
A source also confirmed that Kardashian approves each of Saint's posts before they are published. He is the second child and first son of the former couple and was born on December 5, 2015, in California.
Kim Kardashian supports Saint West's Instagram debut and growing public presence
On Saturday, August 1, Saint shared his first Instagram post, a video featuring his purple e-moto bike, which Kardashian liked. He later added seven more videos showing off the bike and riding it around the family's neighborhood.
On Monday, August 3, Kardashian commented with a purple heart emoji on one of his posts. A source told PEOPLE that she reviews and approves every post before it goes live on Saint's Instagram account. At the time of publication, his account had about 9,000 followers, with her being the only member of the Kardashian family following him.
Kardashian shares four children with ex-husband Kanye: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. He is not the first of the West children to launch an Instagram account.
In December, his elder sister North debuted her profile by posting a blurry photo of herself flashing two peace signs while wearing a printed Balenciaga T-shirt, mini skirt and boots, with her hair styled in a slick bun. She captioned the post, "First post."
Before joining Instagram, North regularly appeared on the shared TikTok account 'KimandNorth,' where she posted dance videos with Kardashian, her siblings and friends. Saint has also begun stepping into the spotlight beyond social media.
In June, he made his first-ever modeling appearance in Nike's campaign celebrating the 2026 FIFA World Cup alongside his mother and several legendary athletes. Kardashian shared behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram, including images of him posing with her and showing off his soccer skills.

Kardashian has long documented Saint's love of sports and dirt biking. In March, she shared a photo of him performing a wheelie while riding a dirt bike, captioning it, "BIKER BOY SAINT." The young boy's Nike modeling debut promoting the FIFA World Cup reflected his well-known passion for soccer.
The reality star has also supported that interest through several memorable experiences. In March 2023, she took Saint and his friends to London to watch Arsenal FC face Sporting Lisbon.
Later that year, she brought him to Lionel Messi's first Inter Miami match at DRV PNK Stadium in Florida, where he also met Neymar Jr, David Beckham and Ronaldo. She shared footage of the experience on Instagram Stories, writing, "Best day of their entire lives."
She also told Major League Soccer that Saint is "obsessed with soccer," adding, "I will do anything for my babies." Meanwhile, she has recently been spending time with Lewis Hamilton. The pair had fueled romance speculation after he commented with a heart-eyes emoji on Kardashian's Instagram photos from the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars Party.
A source confirmed to PEOPLE that Kardashian, her younger children, and Hamilton joined during a spring break vacation in Tokyo alongside Khloe Kardashian and her children, True and Tatum. Another source said Hamilton is "just an easygoing guy with great energy," adding that Kardashian's family likes him and that "it's more than just a casual connection."
