North West, the 12-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, is embracing her blended family with open arms. Over the holidays, the youngster offered a rare glimpse into her bond with her dad's wife, Bianca Censori, whom he married in 2022, as the two spent quality time together.
In a Dec. 26 Instagram Stories post, North—who officially joined the social media platform earlier this month—reshared a post by Babyxsosa featuring a screenshot of the emerging rapper on a FaceTime call with her and Bianca, both of whom were slightly out of frame. The post tagged North and her stepmom's handles along with emojis of a red heart, a Christmas tree, and a stack of money with wings.
Just one week prior, North made her debut on the app by posting a blurry photo of herself in a Balenciaga ensemble as she held up two peace signs, aptly captioning the image, "First post."
Years before this Instagram debut, Kanye—who also shares kids Saint, 10, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, with Kim—made it clear that he was not in favor of his firstborn being active online. After North made a TikTok of herself and her cousin Penelope Disick singing along to Machine Gun Kelly's "Emo Girl" in 2022, the Grammy winner expressed his concerns to his ex-wife.
"Hey everybody," Kanye, 48, said in a since-deleted Instagram video, "I just got off the phone with Kim, and I told her to stop antagonizing me with this TikTok thing." He continued, "I am [North's] father. I know y'all don't respect fathers and the idea of family. The media tries to promote something. I said, 'I'm not allowing my daughter to be used by TikTok, to be used by Disney.' I have a say so."
Meanwhile, Kim, 45—who shares a joint TikTok account with her daughter—stood by her parenting decisions, arguing that Kanye's "constant attacks" on her via public forums were "actually more hurtful" than North being on social media. "As the parent who is the main provider and caregiver for our children," she wrote on her Instagram Stories at the time, "I am doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision. Because it brings her happiness."
