Ever since Kim Kardashian and Kanye West officially called off their relationship, many have been wondering about the state of his relationship with each of his children, especially his eldest, North West.

Although she hasn’t made many public comments about her dad, the 12-year-old recently tugged at fans’ heartstrings after she reposted a photo of her and both her parents backstage at “Lion King Live,” the live Lion King concert she participated in last year on TikTok. The image depicted her huddling with her parents on either side of her and had an emotional song playing in the background, causing fans to speculate that she’s missing the days when her family was still together. Read more about the sentimental repost below.

North West Reposts A Throwback Photo Of Herself, Kim Kardashian, And Kanye West On TikTok

The only social media platform the young prodigy is known to use is the TikTok account she shares with her mom, with the username, 'Kim and North.' The account often shares videos of the mother-daughter duo dancing or goofing around together, and occasionally shows North doing the same with her friends.

 

This week, the account reposted a photo that depicted North, Kim, and her controversial father, Kanye West, as they huddled in a circle before she portrayed Young Simba in a live concert production of The Lion King that happened last year at the Hollywood Bowl. The show made headlines as it was one of the first times the eldest West child sang and performed live, and both her parents were at her side before she went on stage.

 

The photo was shared by a fan account and accompanied by the song "I Thought I Saw Your Face Today" by She & Him, which contains the lyrics, "I thought I saw your face today, but I just turned my head away. Your face against the trees, but I just see the memories as they come."

Fans React To North West's TikTok Repost In The Comments Section

Because of everything that's been going on between the SKIMS founder and her ex-husband, it's no secret that there's been some tension between their family since they officially divorced in 2022. More recently, Kim explained on the Call Her Daddy podcast that it had been a while since her kids had a proper visit with their father, and that she does most of the parenting, most of the time.

 

Despite it all, since their divorce, there have been rumors that the child who remains the closest to her dad is North, although she's not old enough to comment on the situation herself. Until now, that is. The eldest daughter's repost of the older family picture had internet users speculating that she's missing her family as a unit, and they expressed it in the comments.

 

"North West reposted, I feel so bad for her," commented a user under the photo, as one wrote it was "so sad."

 

"North didn't need to see this," added another.

 

One user wrote, "[This] genuinely broke my heart," as an X user wrote they believe the sadness is related to the feeling of "losing" Kanye to "his mental health struggles."

 

"Maybe she doesn't recognize who he is anymore and misses the father she once had," they continued.
