Kim Kardashian called her son Saint West ‘one of my soulmates’ as she paid tribute to him on his ninth 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day.

The SKIMS founder, 44 — who recently faced backlash for reinstating Saint’s YouTube channel — uploaded the heartfelt post to Instagram on Thursday, December 5.

Kim’s sweet post comes amid dad Kanye West‘s apparent absence from their four kids’ lives — two years after he and his ex-wife reached a joint custody agreement.

That’s because he’s been hunkered down in Japan with his much-younger wife Bianca Censori, 30, amid mounting 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual assault and abuse lawsuits — including from his former assistant.

Kim recently faced some of that ‘judgement when she allowed Saint to reinstate his YouTube channel exactly one month after taking down the profile.

She took down Saint’s account in late October after two posts critical of Vice President Kamala Harris were shared on the account ahead of the election.

But last week, Kim advertised on her Instagram that Saint’s channel was back up and she encouraged people to ‘follow’ him on the platform.

She uploaded clips of her 20 foot Christmas tree in the foyer of her mansion.

She has explained in years past that Phil comes over every day during the holiday season to play the holiday music to wake the kids up ‘by playing the piano while mad morning rush is happening to calm their little souls and fill it with beautiful Christmas songs’ she explained in 2022.
