Kim Kardashian introduces Kanye West to her family

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian added fuel to rumours that the two are indeed more than friends as the socialite introduced the rapper to her family.

Kim, 31, and Kanye, 34, were pictured leaving trendy Asian fusion restaurant Spice Market in New York, along with her mum Kris Jenner, sister Kourtney and her son Mason and sister Khloe and her husband Lamar Odom, after all enjoying an intimate family meal together.

The celebrity couple – already dubbed ‘Kimye’ – seem to have made the relationship official as they were also snapped looking loved up as they ate ice cream together in Manhattan earlier that day.




Kim – who last year filed for divorce from basketball player Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage – stepped out the next day wearing a pair of gold earrings with Kanye’s initials ‘KW’.

Sister Khloe Kardashian told Andy Cohen during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live: “I don’t think it’s serious. I think it’s too soon. But because they’ve been friends for so long, it’s just so easy and that’s something I love seeing for Kim – the easiness and how happy she is. And it’s just more of a great friendship and friendships make the best relationships.”

Meanwhile, it has been reported the Kardashians are planning to take the UK by storm by filming the next series of their reality TV series over here.

Sisters Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, mum Kris and brother Rob are already household names in the US with their show Keeping Up With The Kardashians and various spin-offs. The show is aired on satellite channels in the UK, but the Daily Mirror reports the Kardashians want to be better known in Britain.

Their plans to film in London during the Olympics reportedly backfired when they failed to find accommodation for the whole family and their crew. But they are still said to be pushing ahead with a series set in London this summer to help up their profile in the UK.
