Kids have a way of pushing parents out of their comfort zones, and while parents might act embarrassed at first, they often end up enjoying these moments. Take Kim Kardashian, for instance. Despite her well-known dislike of dancing, she recently confessed to enjoying a TikTok dance that her 11-year-old daughter, North West, “forced” her to do, and their adorable photos have us all smiling.
“I might enjoy the forced TikTok dances a litttttttle bit 😉,” the SKIMS founder wrote in a recent Instagram post. She admitted to having fun with the playful and silly TikTok dances she performs with North on their joint TikTok account. For anyone who has followed Kardashian on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, this is a surprising and delightful revelation!
The Instagram post features behind-the-scenes photos from one of their TikTok videos, where the mother-daughter duo dances energetically to “Apple” by Charli XCX in a sped-up video. They laugh together, showcasing their playful dynamic. In the photos, Kardashian is seen wearing tan flare pants with a yellow bandana-shaped top, while North sports a fuzzy hat, a sweater vest, baggy shorts, and sneakers. The carousel includes snapshots of North and Kardashian smiling at a draft of their TikTok, North posing while Kardashian gives her a playful look, and Kardashian posing while North casually looks at her nails. It’s clear that Kardashian is enjoying these moments with her eldest daughter, even if it means dancing!
Fans loved seeing this softer side of Kardashian. “I love seeing her in her mom mode,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “I love how much fun they have together.”
Some people couldn’t help but notice how much North resembles her dad, Kanye West. “The way she is her dad’s daughter, bruh. She’s got that whole man’s everythingggggg down to his postures and traits,” one fan commented. Another joked, “I just know Kim has said ‘you look like yo damn daddy’ more than once 😂😂😂”
Kardashian shares North and her other children—Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5—with West. The former couple has publicly disagreed over their kids’ use of TikTok, with West once stating that North was on TikTok “against my will.”
In a June 2023 cover story for TIME, Kardashian, who also stars in American Horror Story: Delicate, addressed a controversy involving North singing along to inappropriate lyrics on TikTok, something West criticized. “As soon as I saw the words, I was like, ‘Oh no, we’re taking this down,’” she explained. “I saw on the internet, [people saying] ‘Kanye was right,’ and maybe he was in that instance.”
Despite these disagreements, Kardashian has put safety measures in place to ensure North’s TikTok use is appropriate. These include disabling comments on their posts and only allowing the app on her phone, so North has to ask permission to use it. “But she loves making slime videos and doing her little hair tutorials, and I will fight for her to be creative,” Kardashian added.
What began as safety precautions has turned into a special bonding opportunity for Kardashian and North. Watching them embrace these moments together is heartwarming and a reminder of the joys of parenthood.
