North West, the 12-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, has given fans a glimpse into her blended family life, sharing a warm Christmas moment with her stepmother, Bianca Censori. The preteen, who made her official Instagram debut just last week, reposted a screenshot to her stories on Friday, showing her sitting closely with Censori during a festive video call.
A Festive Family FaceTime
The screenshot, originally shared by rapper Babyxsosa (real name Jasia Makayla Abrams), captured North and Censori in conversation with the music artist via FaceTime. Babyxsosa adorned the image with a Christmas tree and a money-with-wings emoji, hinting the call took place around the holiday period. This casual snap offers a rare look at the relationship between North and the Australian-born architect, who married her father, Kanye West, in 2022.
Since the marriage, Censori has frequently been seen spending time with North and her siblings. Notably, during an outing in Los Angeles last August, Censori—often known for her bold public style—opted for a more covered-up look while with the rapper's children. The pair have also been spotted together on multiple occasions, from dinners at celebrity hotspot Nobu in Malibu in 2023 to grabbing fast food at Popeyes and McDonald's during a Paris getaway last year.
North's Meteoric Rise on Instagram
This festive repost follows closely on the heels of North's much-publicised entry onto Instagram on 19 December. Her first post was a slightly blurred selfie featuring peace signs, and her profile, which states it is 'account managed by parents,' quickly amassed nearly 1 million followers in just one week.
Her third post, shared on Christmas Day, showcased a bold style statement: custom-made diamond 'shark teeth' grillz crafted by celebrity jeweller Johnny Dang. North proudly displayed the extravagant accessory, complementing it with her signature turquoise hair, a graphic-print white sweatsuit, and high-top sneakers. The post, captioned with a single water droplet emoji, has already received over a million likes.
Navigating Style and Scrutiny
North's foray into social media and her distinctive fashion choices have not been without controversy or parental oversight. Her father, Kanye West, has publicly voiced his disapproval of his children being on social media, stating in 2022 he did not want them used by platforms like TikTok.
Meanwhile, North's style—including a finger piercing revealed in August and fake face tattoos debuted on a joint TikTok with her mother in October—has sparked both criticism and concern online. Kim Kardashian has defended her daughter's creative expression, calling online trolling 'disturbing' and explaining that such looks are often part of costume fun with friends.
During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kardashian reflected on North's confidence, noting her maturity in handling public opinion. 'She's really confident and is like, 'I probably wouldn't be hanging out with those people,'' Kardashian said, while also asking for grace as they navigate fashion choices in the public eye.
The shared Christmas moment on Instagram signals a continuing bond between North West and Bianca Censori, as the young fashionista carves out her own very public path under the watchful management of her famous parents.
