Kids have a knack for pushing parents out of their comfort zones, and while it may be embarrassing at times, there’s often a surprising silver lining. Kim Kardashian recently revealed that she’s found joy in an unexpected place — TikTok dances, thanks to her 11-year-old daughter, North West.
Kim, who has been vocal about her dislike of dancing, confessed that North has managed to get her into the groove. “I might enjoy the forced TikTok dances a litttttttle bit 😉,” Kim shared in an Instagram post. The SKIMS founder’s confession was accompanied by a series of playful photos from their TikTok sessions, capturing moments of laughter and fun.
The post featured Kim and North in a series of behind-the-scenes photos and videos. In one, they danced to “Apple” by Charli XCX, showcasing their close bond. Kim was dressed in tan flare pants and a yellow bandana-shaped top, while North sported a fuzzy hat, sweater vest, baggy shorts, and sneakers. The carousel also included candid shots of the mother-daughter duo laughing at their TikTok drafts, sharing smiles, and making silly faces at each other.
The sweet moments shared on their joint TikTok account highlight how much Kim enjoys spending quality time with her eldest daughter, even if it involves a bit of dancing — something she typically avoids. The fans were quick to comment on their adorable bond. “I love seeing her in her mom mode,” one follower noted, while another added, “I love how much fun they have together.”
Some fans couldn’t help but notice how much North resembles her father, Kanye West. Comments ranged from “She got that whole man’s everythingggggg down to his postures and traits,” to joking remarks about Kim frequently commenting on North’s resemblance to Kanye.
Kim and Kanye share four children: North, Saint (8), Chicago (6), and Psalm (5). The pair have had their differences when it comes to their kids’ social media presence, especially TikTok. Kanye has been outspoken about his disapproval of North being on TikTok, famously stating that it was “against my will.”
Kim addressed these concerns in a 2023 interview with TIME, particularly an incident involving North lip-syncing to inappropriate lyrics. “As soon as I saw the words, I was like, ‘Oh no, we’re taking this down,’” she recalled. This incident led many online to side with Kanye, with Kim admitting, “Maybe he was right in that instance.”
Despite these challenges, Kim has implemented safety measures for North’s TikTok usage, such as disabling comments and controlling the app’s access through her phone. “She loves making slime videos and doing her little hair tutorials, and I will fight for her to be creative,” Kim said, highlighting the balance she aims to maintain between safety and creative freedom for her daughter.
What started as a way to monitor North’s social media activity has turned into a fun bonding experience for Kim and North. Their shared TikTok moments are not just entertaining; they also provide a glimpse into the loving relationship between mother and daughter.
