Kimye 2.0?
By Alice Kelly — Written on Aug 27, 2021
If you had told Kimye fans grieving the announcement of the couples divorce back in February that we'd be watching them stage a wedding in front of a stadium by August, they would have never believed you.
Though, if there's one thing fans of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian know it's to expect the unexpected.
So, now that we've watched West and Kardashian recreate their wedding, I think it's quite reasonable to ask: Are Kim and Kanye getting back together?
Are Kim Kardashian and Kanye West back together?
As West prepares to release his upcoming album “DONDA,” the former couple have been spending more and more time together.
And, based on recent events, there seems to be clues that a reconciliation is on the cards for Kimye.
Kim Kardashian wore a wedding dress at Kanye West's listening party.
Kimye shocked fans by recreating a wedding scene to West's track 'No Child Left Behind.'
Kardashian wore a Balenciaga wedding dress — not the same as her 2014 wedding dress, in case you were wondering — as West grinned at her as she approached him.
The pair letter walked off the stage holding hands, fuelling rumors even more.
If you're wondering whether the pair got legally married at the performance, it would appear not. Besides, technically they are still wed to one another.
Kim and Kanye were spotted on a possible date.
Prior to the listening event, West and Kardashian were photographed grabbing lunch together in Malibu on Thursday, Aug 19.
The pair were without any of their four children — North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm — meaning it’s possible they were wanting some alone time.
Kim has been listening to Kanye’s unreleased album ‘Donda.’
One day after West and Kardashian were spotted having lunch together, the reality star showed some love to West’s upcoming album.
Posting from her car, Kardashian appeared to be listening to the album. Things must be quite amicable between the two for West to be giving his ex access to his music before his fans!
Kardashian has also attended both of West’s listening events for the album, even wearing outfits that matched her ex.
Kanye reportedly split from Irina Shayk.
West and Kardashian’s lunch date also coincided with reports that the rapper reportedly cut ties with model Irina Shayk after a brief relationship.
Shayk and West were first rumored to be dating in May and were spotted together in June but appear to have called it quits.
Could West be making himself available to pursue Kardashian once more?
Kanye appears to be wearing his wedding ring again.
West may be holding out hope that the couple will reconcile by refusing to take his wedding ring off.
In a recent Instagram post, the rapper was wearing a shiny gold band on his ring finger. He was also spotted wearing the ring at his first “DONDA” listening party last month.
He had previously been photographed wearing the band in April, even after Kardashian had filed for divorce.
Kanye rapped that Kim is ‘still in love’ with him.
At his second “DONDA” listening party, West appeared to reference Kardashian and claimed she hadn’t fully moved on from their relationship.
"Time and space is a luxury / But you came here to show that you're still in love with me," West rapped while Kardashian watched from the crowd.
He also debuted new lyrics to a song called “Love Unconditionally.”
"I'm losing all my family / Darling, come back to me," the lyrics read. Previously the lyrics had been, “Darling, how could you leave?”
Sources say Kimye have a ‘friendly relationship.’
A source told reporters that Kardashian and West are working on building a relationship but are keeping things platonic.
“Kim and Kanye have a friendly relationship. It's always been important to Kim to have a good relationship with Kanye. They are not getting back together though," the source says.
"Kim still appreciates Kanye's business advice and guidance. She is happy that they can hang out,” the source added.
Considering the couple originally began their relationship as friends, we’re hopeful that — if it’s meant to be — their friendship could blossom into something more once again!
