Kanye West and Kim Kardashian may have called it quits back in February 2021, but it’s no secret that Ye still had hopes of reconciliation with his famous ex. Evidently the rapper isn’t ready for Kardashian to forget about their romance either after news broke that the 44-year-old recently purchased the mansion directly across the street.
While it’s unclear if West made the purchase with the intention of staying close to his four children or wooing his ex wife, the rapper reportedly dropped $4.5 million on the Hidden Hills home, even paying $421,000 more than the asking price to ensure he could be near his family. Kardashian has yet to speak out on her feelings about her ex moving so close, but the pair seem to remain on good terms despite the ending of their marriage.
In fact, Kardashian has shown up to support West in a number of his projects over the last year, even appearing in a wedding dress and veil for a live listening party for his newest album, Donda. However, while West seems to have taken that as an opportunity to reconcile their relationship, Kardashian filed to be declared legally single in December, doubling down on her intention to divorce.
Kardashian recently entered into a new relationship with 28-year-old comedian, Pete Davidson, and West was spotted in Miami over the weekend on a dinner date at Carbone with actress Julia Fox. This comes just three weeks after the rapper performed his hit song “Runaway” at the Free Larry Hoover benefit concert, adjusting the lyrics to say, “I need you to run right back to me, baby, more specifically, Kimberly.”
It’s unlikely the couple will ever reunite as legal documents filed by Kardashian request to return back to her maiden name as well, but for the sake of their four children it seems that living as neighbors may provide an opportunity to keep their family as a whole. It’s certainly an improvement from when West was living out on a ranch in Wyoming.
