Kim Kardashian most often makes headlines for her time spent with her 9-year-old daughter, North West, but on Monday (April 24), it was her and eldest son Saint West’s turn to shine. The duo arrived at Crypto.com Arena last night along with Kris Jenner and her beau Corey Gamble to watch the Los Angeles Lakers face off against the Memphis Grizzlies. While the socialite looked like a cast member in The Matrix with her futuristic all-black outfit, the young boy took the opportunity to pay tribute to his cousin’s father, Tristan Thompson.
The basketball player and his ex, Khloé Kardashian, are said to be working on their relationship right now (though she was just seen dining with Lil Baby), and he was recently traded to the California-based team. Over his own black outfit, West wore an oversized #9 jersey with Thompson’s name on the back, obviously excited to cheer his extended family member on. While some saw the moment as cute, others called the SKIMS founder “sick” for letting Saint wear Tristan’s jersey after his countless bouts of infidelity against her sister.

Though she previously gave the Canadian the cold shoulder when he first cheated, Kim has since formed a friendship with the athlete. As he and Khloé work through their issues together, the mother of four has always been supportive of their relationship and actively works to keep her children out of any family drama that may be circulating in the media. The internet may think Kardashian is being shady, but in truth, Saint likely knows little about the problems unfolding around him.
Prior to her night out with the 7-year-old and her own family matriarch, Kim Kardashian and North turned heads this past weekend while walking the red carpet together. At the time, the TikTok starlet’s attitude undeniably stole the show and has earned many laughs online. Scroll on to see more photos of Saint West and his mom at the NBA playoffs. Afterward, let us know if you’re excited to see Tristan Thompson join the Lakers in the comments below.
