Kim Kardashian has heard the chatter and wants Keeping Up With The Kardashians fans to know that she has no plans of reconciling with Kanye West. The pair have fueled rumors in recent weeks due to their Malibu lunch date and Kim's public support of Kanye's new album. But Kim is only maintaining the loyalty she has had for her ex-husband since day one and remaining a united front for their children. Despite recently enjoying a private date with Kanye, it looks like the two are not getting back together.
Amid reports confirming Kanye's split from Russian model Irina Shayk, the rap and fashion mogul has been on friendlier terms with his ex-wife. It was shortly after Kim's February divorce filing when sources revealed the lack of communication between the two. It was said that Kanye even changed his phone numbers and only allowed Kim to contact him through his security. But with them co-parenting four children together, the two superstars were bound to get to a more amicable place. After being seen on a family outing at a museum in San Francisco, Kim and the West kids sat front and center at Kanye's Donda listening party. At the two massive events Kanye hosted to promote the album, the former couple wore matching colored outfits in a nod to the love they still share.
The two followed up the listening party by having a private lunch date last week in Malibu. Now onlookers have been convinced these are signs of Kim and Kanye getting back together. But sources for the SKIMS founder say that couldn't be farther from the truth. "Kim and Kanye have a friendly relationship," a source told PEOPLE. "It's always been important to Kim to have a good relationship with Kanye. They are not getting back together though." When it comes to their recent lunch date in Malibu, onlookers shouldn't get their hopes up so soon. "She accepted his lunch invitation earlier this week because they are at the point now when they can hang out. There are no hard feelings," the insider noted.
Kim has only spoken highly of Kanye since their split. During the reunion, she praised him as a father and lightly touched on the number of issues that ultimately led to their divorce. Kanye's involvement in Kim's KKW Beauty relaunch was also later revealed. So with Kim supporting Kanye's Donda album, she's only returning the favor. "Kim still appreciates Kanye's business advice and guidance," the source told PEOPLE. "She is happy that they can hang out." During the time when Kanye wasn't speaking to Kim, the reality star knew to give the Yeezy founder space to process his feelings. "For a long time, Kanye was very upset and disappointed that Kim filed for divorce," the source revealed. "She understood why and gave him space."
Now Kim and Kanye "are able to make amicable decisions that benefit the kids," the insider said. "They have come a long way. The kids are thrilled when they see Kanye. Kim wants them to have an amazing relationship with their dad, just like she did with her dad." Time heals all, and Kim and Kanye are a testament to that. They almost made it to seven years of marriage, and they spent years as friends before they even started dating. It looks like the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star and Kanye are getting back to how they originally started off and remaining a united front for their children.
