Kim Kardashian Crashes North West’s Instagram Live and Steals the Show
Kim Kardashian is proving that even a global mogul can’t resist the urge to crash her daughter’s social media party. The reality star recently made a surprise cameo during 12-year-old North West’s Instagram Live, reminding fans that she is never too busy to keep a watchful eye on her eldest’s digital footprint.
Guys, I think my mom’s coming, North whispered to her viewers as rustling was heard in the background. After the tween asked why she was watching, she quickly pivoted to charm her audience, telling them, Guys, the GOAT is here. Kim, who shares North with ex-husband Kanye “Ye” West, was clearly touched by the legendary title. I hope someone recorded that, she joked to the camera. She called me the GOAT. I don’t know if I’ll ever get that again.
The mother-daughter banter took a humorous turn when North encouraged Kim to show her face to help make some money from the stream’s high viewership. What?! No, no, no, Kim blurted out, clearly not ready for a public appearance in her loungewear.
You know I don’t like this, the SKIMS founder continued while insisting on staying in the room to supervise. Though she allowed the stream to stay active, she set a firm boundary with a laugh: I’m ready for bed, so I’m not getting on this Live.

Indeed, Kim is strict about North’s online movements and insists on being present for these real-time interactions. While she supports North’s creative expression, the decision to allow her on social media came with heavy caveats regarding safety and supervision.
This grounded parenting moment comes during a massive professional pivot for Kim, who has officially traded reality drama for scripted success. She is currently filming the Netflix comedy The Fifth Wheel, directed by Eva Longoria and written by Paula Pell.
In her first leading feature role, Kim stars as a glamorous outsider who crashes a chaotic Vegas reunion of high school friends. The ensemble cast features a powerhouse lineup including Nikki Glaser, Fortune Feimster, Brenda Song, and Jack Whitehall.
The project follows Kim’s turn in the Ryan Murphy legal drama All’s Fair, which premiered in late 2025. In the series, she plays Allura Grant, a high-powered divorce attorney leading an elite, all-female firm in Los Angeles.
The show, which also stars Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, and Sarah Paulson, has solidified Kim’s status as a legitimate actress. Meanwhile, North is also building her own resume, having recently showcased her musical talents with the song Piercing on My Hand.
Beyond her music, North is currently being homeschooled with a curriculum focused on “realistic courses” like brand building and music production. Kim recently shared that these interests have even helped improve the co-parenting dynamic with Kanye.
As The Kardashians enters its eighth season on Hulu, fans are getting an even closer look at how Kim balances her legal studies, acting career, and life as a single mother. Her evolution from a reality star to a respected producer and actress continues to defy industry expectations.
Whether she is walking a red carpet in Paris or supervising a pre-bedtime Instagram session, Kim remains one of the most talked-about figures in entertainment. Her latest acting ventures suggest that 2026 will be her biggest year on screen yet.
