Kanye West is reportedly helping Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Kim Kardashian prepare for her Saturday Night Live hosting debut this weekend. Despite Kim and Kanye's impending divorce, which Kim filed for in February 2021, the pair have managed to stay close friends. Not only are they trying to develop a friendship for the sake of their four kids, but they genuinely enjoy spending time together.
Even though their marriage didn't last, the couple is still friends. After Kanye put the breaks on his relationship with model Irina Shayk, he and Kim started to become friends again. Not only have they met up multiple times for dinner in Malibu, but they also reenacted their wedding during one of Kayne's listening parties for his new album Donda. Kim and Kanye will always be there for each other, whether it's for personal or professional reasons.
This week, an insider told Page Six that the rapper went to New York City to secretly help the reality star prepare for her hosting gig on SNL. "Kim is nervous about hosting 'SNL,' it's a big challenge but she is determined to be a success," the insider said. "Kanye is quietly advising her on her performance, her opening monologue, even her costumes for the show." The 44-year-old has always been involved in Kim's professional endeavors and is only there to offer tips and support. Kanye, who is selling Wyoming properties, knows what it is like to perform on the SNL stage and only wants his ex to give the best performance she can. The 40-year-old was also spotted on Tuesday leaving her NYC hotel, decked out in head-to-toe black leather while clutching a large duffle bag. She was on her way to the NBC studios in Midtown.
On Tuesday night, Kim had a pre-rehearsal dinner with the show's creator, Lorne Michaels, and was scheduled to begin practicing for the show on Wednesday. Even though Kim is used to being on camera, she admitted to feeling the pressure after actress Debra Messing questioned why SNL decided to offer Kim a hosting gig. Nonetheless, the mother of four is sure to do great now that she has Kanye, who was spotted with Kim at dinner, there as support. The Atlanta native was also spotted in Manhattan on Sunday with SNL star Michael Che, as well as comedians Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, and rapper Busta Rhymes at the Stand Comedy Club. Page Six was told that the meet-up took place to celebrate rapper Talib Kweli’s birthday and the release of Dave's Netflix special.
Despite their ongoing divorce proceedings, Kanye will always be there to support the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star. The couple has been through a lot together in the past decade, and they enjoy helping each other through milestone moments, such as appearing on SNL. Who knows, maybe Kanye, who purchased a new mansion, will even make an appearance alongside Kim.
