After the shocking reveal of a picture of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s two month old baby girl North West, comments and opinions of the newborn have been flying around social media.
North West was born June 15 in Los Angeles and the world has been waiting for a picture of her ever since. Kardashian and West’s public lives have prompted them to want to protect their daughter from harsh opinions at all costs- one of the many reasons why she has been kept a secret for all this time.
According to the LA Times, North was spotted a few times with her parents but was always fully covered. When she went to doctors appointments and attended West’s grandfather’s funeral in Oklahoma she was masked while in a carriage. Kardashian has also kept a low profile as she attempts to shed her baby weight and keep her daughter out of the spotlight.
Pictures of North were first shown to the public on the season finale of Kris Jenner’s talk show “Kris” where West was a special guest. Not long after, the official twitter of Kris’ talk show tweeted, “Meet North West. #WatchKris” with the picture of the baby attached.
On Instagram, Kardashian and younger sibling Kendall Jenner (daughter of Kris and Bruce Jenner) both posted the picture of baby North and received hundreds of thousands of likes and comments within the first few hours of being posted.
Regarding Kardashian, West, and North West, senior Gabrielle Blacker said, “Kim and Kanye can do whatever they want, it’s their lives. North West is going to be a very fortunate kid and I think the public is always going to be hating on people who have more themselves. I think that a lot of people will be haters, but that’s life.”
Despite all of the positive feedback Kardashian and West have been receiving regarding their parenting, there is an equal amount of negative feedback on social media. People have been criticizing North’s name and her expensive lifestyle, but her parents are ignoring the hate and raising their daughter the way they think is right.
Surrounding Kardashian and West’s relationship and North west senior Molly Bogusz said, “I think Kim and Kanye are soulmates to be honest. They both have a public image that makes them appear self absorbed, but I think deep down they are really just people like everyone else. Even if their marriage doesn’t end up working I think that they will always be soulmates and love each other. My overall impression of North West is that you shouldn’t judge her because her name wasn’t her choice! I also think that the public will have a negative image of North because of their preconceived ideas about her parents, but regardless of what you might think of her parents North West is cuter than your baby will ever be!”
In the face of negativity and hate, Kardashian and West are still great parents. They are not married but are shown to have an unbreakable bond. They did not succumb to the societal pressure of revealing their daughter’s picture to the world for money, but instead did it to show the joy that she has brought to them both as not only her parents but as human beings.
