Kim Kardashian & Kanye West reunite in NYC after a 20-day absence

Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West TOGETHER!! They were in New York yesterday – I’m assuming she flew in from LA and he flew in from Paris (where he’s been living and working on his new album). To celebrate the first time they’ve seen each other in some-odd 20 days, Kim poured herself into this tight LBD and she wore a pair of Kanye-designed high heels. Kanye dubbed these shoes “Cruel Summer”. Are those itty-bitty wings?

As you know, Kimye has barely spent any time together in the past four months or so, and it really looked like they weren’t even going to make it as a couple through Kim’s pregnancy. But everything’s coming up Kat-Face these days! First, Kim “wins” her divorce (ha) and now she can focus all of her energy into forcing this Kanye thing to stick. The first move was to plant the seed via TMZ – Kanye and Kim are fine, he’s been visiting LA “secretly” to go with Kim to her doctors’ appointments, etc. Now it’s the photo-op in NYC (and maybe another one in Paris… soon!). Kim is also spending some time talking about how she probably wants to get married again HINT HINT HINT.

Kanye and Kim take New York! Three days after settling her year-and-a-half-long divorce battle with ex-husband Kris Humphries, Kim Kardashian stepped out in New York City on Monday, April 22, looking healthy, happy, and more confident than ever. No doubt at least part of that has to do with her being reunited with boyfriend Kanye West, who has been living and working in Paris, France, for the last several months. A source confirms to Us Weekly that the two met up on Monday in the Big Apple, where West has an apartment.

Leaving her hotel with sister Kourtney and mom Kris Jenner, the six-months-pregnant reality star showed off her growing baby bump in a tight black dress and matching black cardigan. She paired the monochromatic ensemble with white “Cruel Summer” sandals from West’s collaboration with designer Giuseppe Zanotti.

The first-time mom-to-be was presumably en route to meet up with her rapper beau, whom she last saw earlier this month during a whirlwind trip to the City of Lights. (The couple spent Easter weekend together in Paris.)

Their reunion in New York City couldn’t come at a better time — with Kardashian’s divorce now finally behind her, the couple can at last move forward with their lives. For the moment, at least, they’re focused on getting ready for the July birth of their baby, but as the 32-year-old star hinted to Ryan Seacrest, she hasn’t ruled out another wedding.

“I do think I would get married again,” she told Seacrest in the E! special Ryan Seacrest With the Kardashians: An E! News Presentation, which aired Sunday, April 21. “That’s what I’ve always wanted. And just because you think you find it and you realize that’s not it, I think I was brave enough to realize that quickly and not waste time.”

“I found what I really wanted,” she continued, referring to her year-long romance with West. “So I think I definitely do want that.”

[From Us Weekly]

Of course she wants it. I was listening to “Golddigger” while I was working out yesterday, and I had a realization about how absolutely prophetic that song is for Kanye. It’s like his young self was rapping to his older self. Now, I would actually love it if Kim and Kanye got married. Just because it would be a total mess and I think Kanye’s credibility as an artist would take a permanent hit. But… I doubt they’ll ever really make it down the aisle. We’ll see.

    Those shoes are sooo ugly!

    • BB says:

      Marriage? No, I don’t see marriage at all for these two. Kim has landed her a rich and very succesful baby daddy. I don’t think Kanye can stomach Kim’s family for long periods of time. Kim and Kanye will be tied to each other forever because they will have a child together.

    • JenD says:

      Ugly and very uncomfortable looking!

    • LadyMTL says:

      I think they are some of the ugliest shoes I’ve ever seen, tbh. Even before I read the article I was blinking and trying to wrap my mind around why anyone would ever wear them…then I saw that they were “Kanye designed” and that explained it all. 😛

      • gogoGorilla says:

        +1

        They look plastic, like something from Payless. FUG.

        The rest of the outfit actually looks pretty good, even if the kid is suffocating in there.

      • The Original Original says:

        Every time i see her in plastic looking overdone tacky gaudy awful fug shoes i think to myself “those must be by kanye” and I am right everytime

    • oh snap! says:

      I think on a brazlian model with legs for days and a short breezy dress, MAYBE these shoes could be pulled off…but on some short dumpy woman like Kim…never!

      • JuneBug says:

        Exactly… She is way too short for this. The knee length is the worst. And the shoe just cuts her legs in half… This is risky for a 5″8 woman let alone a 5″2 pregnant woman.

    • Bread and Circuses says:

      I…

      …kinda love ’em, actually.

      I would wear the hell outta them ugly shoes. Good job, Kanye! I finally like something you created!

      • I Choose Me says:

        Oh phew, I was about to hang my head in shame for also loving the shoes. Do they come in black I wonder?

  2. Mela says:

    Looks like someone totally called it in the other thread: reunion pics to “prove” that they are still together. This one takes strongly after her mother, which is not good news for the baby.

    • JenD says:

      Yesterday, I posted we’d see pics in a couple days…guess they couldn’t wait. 🙂

      Funny how it’s been 20 days despite his flying over secretly for her doctor appointments.

      • Lucy says:

        Ha you’re so right…and Kanye’s face says it all

      • melca blue says:

        I was just going to comment the exact thing, that someone said commented about the foto op.
        It’s so funny to plant a story about “secretly” visiting her and today a foto op. They are so ridiculous and predictable. But they do complement each other, they both have terrible fashion sense and I just can’t with Kim’s trout face.

      • ZinJojo says:

        They do not look happy together and in contrast there are pics out that show Jay Z and Kanya greeting each other very affectionately. Ye seems like he is completely over it. Wonder how much longer they’ll try to maintain the charade.

    • PinkG says:

      Yes, total photo op. OK Kanye, you point at something and I will do my mouth open pose.

  3. Cherry says:

    Oh God Kaiser, you’re so right about the Golddiger-lyrics!! It’s almost uncanny:

    Met her at a beauty salon
    With a baby Louis Vuitton
    Under her underarm
    (…)
    My psychic told me she have an ass like Serena
    (…)
    An I gotta take all they bad ass to show-biz
    OK get your kids but then they got their friends
    I pulled up in the Benz, they all got up in
    We all went to Den and then I had to pay
    If you fucking with this girl then you better be payed
    You know why
    It take too much to touch her
    (…)
    18 years, 18 years
    She got one of your kids got you for 18 years
    I know somebody paying child support for one of his kids
    His baby mamma’s car and crib is bigger than his
    (…)
    She was suppose to buy you shorty TYCO with your money
    She went to the doctor got lypo with your money
    She walking around looking like Michael with your money
    Should of got that insured got GEICO for your money

  4. dorothy says:

    Looks like momma Kris made a call to Kanye. Too much bad press, time for a photo op. His face says it all, he has that “oh shit, what have I gotten myself involved with?”, kinda look.

    • Buckwild says:

      He’s rocking the Justin Bieber/Jaden Smith face

    • Erinn says:

      To be fair, I don’t think I can recall him ever looking much different expression wise in pap photos.

    • Heebeegeebee says:

      There are photos of him meeting up with Jay Z that same day. He looks overjoyed!! The difference in his demeanour says it all.

  5. KLO says:

    I like those shoes. Shoot me 😀

  6. Faye says:

    This outfit is the worst. That dress plus the too-high shoes make her look as if she has no legs at all.

    LOL at this line: “I think I was brave enough to realize that quickly and not waste time.” Yes, Kim, you weren’t some fickle famewhore who married for ratings, then just dumped the guy after. You were “brave!” My hero.

    If the two of them got married, that would be just desserts for both. Somehow, though, I think Kanye has at least sense enough not to go that far.

    As far as that poor baby goes, I am #TeamNanny all the way. It’s the kid’s only chance at turning out normally.

    • DeltaJuliet says:

      I wish I had half of her ego. No more mistakes or fuck-ups, just “brave decisons”. Then I can be my own, and everyone else’s hero!

  7. Isa says:

    I feel sorry for her. He just doesn’t look happy. I can’t help but start singing “18 years, 18 years She got one of yo’ kids, got you for 18 years
    I know somebody payin’ child support for one of his kids”

    I JUST CAN’T HELP. OH IM GOING TO HELL
    🙂

    • Cam S says:

      He always has that douche-face. But as a couple they do not look affectionate or happy in the least, I agree.

  8. teehee says:

    How pathetic. But as for long splits, a good relationship can hold that out, and grow on the desire that develops from distance. But it isn’t recommended for a long time 😛

  9. Emma13 says:

    I have got to stop reading KimK stories because I had a dream *nightmare* about her last night D:

    • EscapedConvent says:

      U-oh. I dreamed about her last week. Reading about her is causing nightmares! In my dream, Kim K was following me around from place to place, & forced me to go to her house & stay there because she didn’t want to be by herself. I went sneaking around looking for a place to call a friend to spring me out of there—someplace she couldn’t hear that I was trying to leave. But she heard me, & threw a loud screaming hissy fit. Ridiculous! That’s not me, that’s Kanye!

  10. danielle says:

    Photo op much? She looks happy, he does not.

    • gogoGorilla says:

      She is totally smug behind his back when he can’t see her face. I guess we know who called the paps.

      • OriginallyBlue says:

        That’s the second thing I noticed (those fugly shoes were first) she looks very pleased with herself.

  11. G says:

    Kourtney looks adorable rarely see her these days!

  12. bns says:

    They’ll break up not long after the baby is born.

    • Cirque28 says:

      Yep. Maybe Kanye will let it go on for another 6-12 months (with him mostly in other countries during that time) just so he doesn’t look like too much of a jerk.

    • Dawn says:

      I think so too. She looks so smug and he looks like he is as high as a kite. Their show is NOT pulling in the ratings anymore because most parents don’t want their 12 year old daughters trying to emulate Kim and that was their biggest fan base pre-teen girls. This baby is Kim’s goose that will lay the golden eggs for 18 years. But the A crowd will still NOT accept her. No matter what.

  13. G says:

    Ye looks stoned and like Frank Ocean

  14. lolita says:

    The poor guy looks like he is just so over it. Big contrast to how he used to look in the beginning

  15. elceibeno08 says:

    that tight dress and those greek goddess shoes are awful. Kim must be the worst dressed pregnant famewhore woman I have ever seen.

  16. logan says:

    Kanye always looks like he has the worst case of hemorrhoids when he is with Kim. lol If that is the look of “I have a beautiful woman and she is having my baby”, I will pass.
    Mamma Kris needs to pay him more to smile once in awhile.

  17. Cirque28 says:

    Can you be a golddigger if you’re already rich? Not like I’m saying her love for Kanye is too pure for golddigging. No, no, not at all. I’m sure she wants Kanye for his fame, credibility, and in order to make everyone jealous. But I think Celebritynetworth or whatever it’s called (sorry people, too lazy to check and see if that’s really the name) said ‘Ye is worth 100 million and Kim is worth 40 million. Still a golddigger? Maybe more of a famedigger?

    • booboocita says:

      I’ve never put much stock in tabloid reports of wealth when it comes to celebrities. You want to know how much someone is worth, ask the money folks. Forbes magazine has an annual listing of the “most powerful” celebrities in the country, measured by a combination of annual pay, media currency and social media/web penetration. They report Kim’s pay at $18 million and Kanye’s at $35 million, although Kim’s overall ranking is higher than Kanye’s due to her massive exposure in the press. Check it out: http://www.forbes.com/celebrities/

  18. Barrett says:

    Her legs look super dark and badly spray tanned. But she missed her feet. Baby is already ingesting fake tanner in utero!

  19. Queenfreddie says:

    They look so happy …lol! Kanye visted Jay Z afterwards (or just before) seeing Kim and night and day. Kanye has a huge smile on his face with Jay and looks miserable with Kim.

    • MonicaQ says:

      Wait I thought they were fighting because Jay-Z worked with Justin Timberlake. Maybe they kissed and made up. If Kanye can look past Jay-Z working with Linkin Park, he damn sure better be able to with JT.

    • HH says:

      Yeah! That’s the part I was hoping CB would point out. It’s pretty insulting for Kim, but rather hilarious for everyone else.

  20. Dawn says:

    If these people don’t make you want to throw up there is something wrong. These ARE not nice people, not even Khloe. They are takers, even when they give they give to their mother’s church so that it all stays with them. Good god enough should be enough. But the fact that they tried to do some damage control with Ryan Seacrest was hilarious! It means some people are waking up. There are so many better people to celebrate than these crooks. Geez.

  21. NM9005 says:

    I don’t see the problem in her wanting more money and being famous forever by latching onto a real artist. West is an adult and he knows what he wants, he even claimed so himself she’s his Beyonce. She’s his trophy wife basically. I say it’s more about lasting fame and a legacy than really her wanting more money. KK HAS money and they will have a pre-nup anyway. If he has to pay child support, I don’t see how that will be any different with other celeb couples who also have ulterior reasons to date and procreate.

    Western society needs to stop acting like dating/marrying for love is the only respectable option. There are different ways. Marrying for love often fails so why are people shamed for not going that route??? Women to be specific.
    Especially when talking about rich people who are in a different world and mindset to begin with. Let’s not kid ourselves, Ye is NO fool and he’s no better or worse than KK. They are perfect together.

    • Faye says:

      Perhaps you’re right. She screwed for fame, why not get married for it? And I do agree that Kanye knows what he’s getting into. That’s why I don’t think he’ll ever really marry her.

    • The Original G says:

      I don’t have any problem either with whatever arrangement any couple wants to agree to.

      The problem that I have is that she’s selling something entirely different.

    • Ange says:

      I have no issue when two narcissists marry for fame, they just don’t need to bring a kid into it. That’s where the line should be drawn and no doubt why they’re catching so much heat.

  22. Nicolette says:

    No wonder the skies are gray and gloomy today, a Kartrashian is in our midst.

  23. Tania says:

    The shoes are hideous. I think the dress and cardigan combo is quite flattering, save for the Christina Hendricks boobage. That only works for CH.

  24. Chrissy says:

    It may be just me but I’ve grown to like (to put it in good terms) Kim and Kanye since they’ve gotten together.

    Kim sort of omits Kanye’s dickhead ways and Kanye has toned down Kim’s fame-whoring ways. To clarify, she’s less maniacally crazy for our attention and the Kardashian family’s voice has smothered Kanye’s public opinions.

    Win-win?

    • Heebeegeebee says:

      Really?? So this whole staged reunion/secret visits isn’t the least bit famewhorish?

  25. virginia5 says:

    Dailymail has this same pictures but they also included pics of kanye with a big smile when he sees jay-z..and look how miserable he looks with kim

  26. epiphany says:

    ‘Kim and Kanye reunite after 20-odd days’ – and they look THRILLED, don’t they?!?!?!

    • Lady Satan says:

      *LOL* My first thoughts too!

      Kim looks utterly fed up and Kanye looks like he just realized how many kinds of Hell his life is going to be soon.

  27. Katttt says:

    You know what I don’t understand? Why Kanye is recording in Paris. Why can’t he record in LA? (This is a genuine question, is there an actual reson, other than ‘to get away from KK?)It’s not like it’s a job he can only do in Paris, you know? It just strikes me that you would try and be around as much as possible at this time and I’m wondering if it’s impossible and that’s why he isn’t around.

    Also, why is she STILL flying? Fair enough, its not a long haul Paris flight but LA to NYC is still hefty enough.

    • MonicaQ says:

      He says he has less distractions in Paris than LA and the paps aren’t as bad. Whatever. All I can think of is the song “…in Paris” so yup. (Don’t know how swearing as such will be taken).

    • Annie says:

      well they could film that stupid show in paris couldnt they? why couldnt kim live in paris for the pregnancy. she always seems more attached to her mommy than any boyfriend.

    • epiphany says:

      Your problem is, your’re a normal, well-adjusted person, who knows how to have and sustain a healthy relationship – these people do not possess that abilty. The fact is, he doesn’t want to be with her! He’s seeing his old flame, designer, Ricardo Tisci, who lives in Paris. He’s been over the Kartrashian thing for a while, but is now stuck for 18+ years because of the baby.

      • Katttt says:

        Thanks @epiphany! It’s always nice to have my well adjusted outlook to life recognised!!!
        I have to agree with you, I think the very act of being out of the country most of the time when it’s not absolutely necessary screams ‘I don’t want to be near this person’. And I genuinely think Kim does not care – she’s got what she needs in terms of attention.

  28. janice says:

    Pimp Mama paid Kris H to end the divorce. Next call to Kanye to get him back in the fold for a few shots with Baby Mama….On to Khloe and her shady charity mess. Mama has her hands full with all her lying loser kids. She is doing all the damage control she
    can before her talk show hits.

  29. Yelly says:

    Remember the golddigger days when Kanye used to be cute and likeable and wore polos and backpacks? Sigh.

    • MonicaQ says:

      He used to be so tolerable. Would think nothing of bumping Graduation Day in the car. Now? It’s like this vacuum of unwarranted self importance.

  30. Lynne says:

    Kim was in town for the E event, and E flew her in with their other celebs amd Kanye apparently came in to rehearse for SNL.
    All I saw was one photo op walking to/ in a clothing store and then she went back to the hotel alone and he met up with Jay Z.
    Waiting to see the pics from today.

  31. Annie says:

    Kanye looks happier with Jay Z than Kim. There are pics from the same day with Jay and he looks overjoyed to see Jay. Lol!

  32. PinkG says:

    For someone who claims to be in constant, all over pain, should she be wearing shoes like that?

  33. Tommy says:

    As long as kanye makes good music and doesnt write lyrics about Kim (seriously off-putting) i am ok with it. He doesnt look happy though.

  34. truthful says:

    god those shoes are horrid, keep watching the circus folks.

    the look on Ye’s face, he can’t wait to flee back to Paris…

  35. Lady Satan says:

    I just realized Kanye goes about with the same pouty spoiled-brat look that Beiber does.

    Douche-bag-itis of the face?

  36. mar says:

    Let us be honest, Kim does not need his money, but maybe his status.

  37. The Original Mia says:

    Hermes, this twit has stolen your shoes!

    Nice little photo-op, except Kanye looks happier with Jay-Z than with his baby momma.

    • Cirque28 says:

      “Hermes, this twit has stolen your shoes” would be a way better name for Kanye’s creations than Cruel Summer!

  38. Palermo says:

    I love the way he tried to shove her out of the way. He looked ecstatic to see Jay Z and miserable in all the pictures with his baby mama.

  39. The Original G says:

    So….during their reunion in NYC, she is staying in a hotel with her mother and sister and visiting Kanye at his apartment? Huh?

    If they were really together, wouldn’t she be going to his place?

  40. annie says:

    doesn’t she look like the cat who ate the cream

  41. PHD gossip says:

    My analysis? And, sadly, I have given a lot of thought to this – is that once the tabloids started saying how they have only been together for 20 days total since she got pregnant it became CRUCIAL to stage a photo op.
    Folks – that’s all this is – a photo op to shut us down from observing he is trying to be as far away from her as possible.
    Kanye is in Paris to escape KK and her circus lifestyle.

  42. lucy says:

    haHahAAA! It looks like she walked through some used wet kleenexes and they stuck to her feet and ankles!

  43. EscapedConvent says:

    Wow, those shoes are stupid. She seems to lack any ability to put things together.

    Is that her Puppet Master (Mom) following her in the fourth pic?!

  44. DetRiotGirl says:

    I LOVE that first picture! Kanye seems to be tapping her on the shoulder as if to say “the door is over here…”, while Kim wanders aimlessly towards the camera like a mouth-breathing zombie. It sums up their whole relationship!

    Also, is anyone else having problems viewing the site on Chrome for iOS? I can’t shut the mobile version off for some reason. However, it seems to work fine in Safari. Weird.

    *EDIT* …and it immediately started working again after I posted my comment. Go figure.

  45. lucy says:

    Has anyone ever seen such an AWKWARD “couple”?

  46. lisa says:

    those shoes are awesome if you want to look shorter and squatter

  47. Kristine says:

    GODDAMN her tits look good.

  48. Hoya_chick says:

    How come he looks so miserable? And how come she is staying at a hotel and not at his apt? How touching that he can come back to the US to host SNL but was MIA for months when it was about seeing her. LOL. The tragedy. The comedy. I’d feel bad for anyone else whose baby daddy all but abandoned them during their pregnancy but all I can muster is a ‘meh.’

    Also, Kourtney looks great!

  49. janie says:

    I can top all this!!! She is allowed to the big Anna Wintour gala! Just announced.. Can’t wait to see what she wears!!

  50. annie says:

    kanye looks miserable in all the photos I’ve seen.

  51. Snowpea says:

    Am I the ONLY one that doesn’t buy these two as a real couple?

    SHOWMANCE!
