Khloe Kardashian Publicly Supports Kanye West Despite His Ugly Divorce Battle With Her Sister Kim
May 28 2021, Published 1:15 p.m. ET
Khloe Kardashian does not seem to have any ill will toward her estranged brother-in-law, Kanye West, who's in the middle of an ugly divorce battle with Khloe's very own sister, Kim Kardashian.
Taking to Twitter to discuss Thursday's episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, KoKo tweeted, "Kanye gives The sweetest most thoughtful gifts!"
The public display of support was a reference to the hologram of Robert Kardashian Sr., which Ye gifted his then-wife for her 40th birthday. The moving and talking image of the late attorney was seen telling his second-oldest daughter that he watches over her every day.
He also told Kim that she married "the most, most, most, most, most genius man in the whole world," which makes Khloe's tweet that much more intriguing.
Before her lavish and controversial birthday getaway aired on the family's reality series, Kim had shared Kanye's special present with her social media followers.
At the time, she was beyond moved. She described the hologram as "so lifelike" and "a special surprise from heaven."
"For my birthday, Kanye got me the most thoughtful gift of a lifetime," she captioned a video of the hologram, adding, "We watched it over and over, filled with emotion."
Four months later – in February of this year – Kim filed for divorce.
Though perhaps shocking to some, the news came after months of public signs that there was trouble in paradise. In fact, the two reportedly haven't lived in the same house since early 2020.
The 40-year-old reality star and 43-year-old rapper got engaged in 2013 and married the following year. They share four children: daughter North West, 7, son Saint West, 5, daughter Chicago West, 3, and son Psalm West, 1.
But the once-lovebirds seem to have accepted their reality and are already being linked to potential new flings.
After Kim was photographed looking smoking hot while attending billionaire bachelor Jamie Reuben's birthday blowout in Beverly Hills over the weekend, reports that Kanye and supermodel Irina Shayk are an item started to pop up online.
Earlier this week, a tipster spilled the alleged tea to Instagram-based celebrity gossip site DeuxMoi, claiming Ye was dating Bradley Cooper's baby mama.

The unidentified mastermind behind DeuxMoi added, "After further looking into this, I don't know if 'dating' is the right word, but there is perhaps some interest there."
Later on, another tipster wrote in to confirm that the two were "def dating."
Though a bit strange, it wouldn't be totally out of the question, considering they've known each other for over a decade.
In 2010, Irina was featured as an angel in Kanye's music video for his song, Power. Two years later, she strutted her stuff on the catwalk of his fall/winter Yeezy collection during Paris Fashion Week. And just last month, Shayk was spotted wearing a DMX shirt that was designed by West in collaboration with Balenciaga.
Things that make you go, "Hmmm."
