Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Caught Holding Hands Backstage At 'Donda' Listening Party, One Week After Rapper Ends Irina Shayk Relationship
Aug. 27 2021, Published 1:40 p.m. ET
Kim Kardashian didn't just show up and slap on a wedding dress for her estranged husband Kanye West's third Donda listening event — she was caught holding his hand too!
The 40-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star must not have known she was in eye view when she grabbed onto the rapper's hand tightly while backstage before making her big entrance on Thursday.
Showing Kanye some PDA, despite their ongoing $2.1 billion divorce battle, Kim's hand-holding gesture was elevated because she was wearing a floor-length gown at the time.
The formerly happy couple was caught on the side of the stage with their hands in an intense grip.
A fan was quick to capture the moment at Soldier Field in Chicago.
The video shows Kanye in all-black attire with a mask over his face as an equally blind Kim followed him wearing a Balenciaga Haute Couture wedding dress and a floor-length veil.
Their hand-holding is raising eyebrows because Kanye just broke up with supermodel Irina Shayk, making both him and his estranged wife single ... for now.
His split with Irina happened just days after he reunited with Kim over a romantic lunch at celebrity hotspot Nobu in Malibu, CA.
His unexpected reunion with Kim wasn't the only questionable action that made their fans wonder if Kimye 2.0 was on the horizon.
Following his breakup with the runway vixen, Kanye was spotted wearing his wedding ring.
"It was never a serious thing that took off," a source told PEOPLE about his relationship with Irina. "Kanye has been busy working and spending time with his kids. This is his focus. He doesn't have time to date right now."
Kanye and Irina were first linked in early June, marking his first relationship since Kim filed for divorce in February.

Ye was never satisfied in his romance Irina though, with sources telling RadarOnline.com he was "disappointed" that his relationship with Irina didn't break the Internet like Jennifer Lopez's reunion with Ben Affleck.
"Kanye literally through the news of him dating again would-be front-page news. He envisioned news channel breaking into their coverage to announce that Kanye was in a new relationship. He expected Vogue and other fashion magazines to be calling begging him to do a cover and is very disappointed that this hasn’t happened," an insider told us at the time.
Despite Kim and Kanye's hand-holding, romantic lunch, wedding ring wearing, and her bridal transformation, the duo's divorce is still reportedly full-steam ahead.
As for Kanye, he's gearing up to legally drop his first and last name, but not Kim. The KUWTK star is reportedly keeping West so that she can have the same surname as their four children.
