Kim Kardashian says she has to ‘hold back’ North, 13, from some projects as teen pursues stardom: ‘I do worry’

Kim Kardashian acknowledged that her eldest daughter, North West, loves being in the spotlight.

The mother of four said she worries about the effects of exposing her kids to her intense level of fame, but noted that her teenage daughter has taken to the cameras more than the others, in an interview with the Sunday Times published Saturday.

Kardashian shares North, 13, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 7, with her ex-husband, Kanye West.

“Each kid does what they’re comfortable with,” she told the outlet. “So, my little ones come around when I’m filming but they don’t really do storylines.”

She added, “North loves it a little bit more than the rest.”

The Skims founder revealed she has to hold North back from taking all the opportunities being presented to her.

“All she wants to do is forward-facing projects,” she shared. “And so it’s like us really kind of trying to savor those moments and not doing everything that comes her way, so we can really make sure that we manage it the right way.”

She said she and her ex-husband, Kanye West, are on the same page about what projects their eldest child can take on. The mother-daughter duo is seen here in August 2023.

Kardashian said she and West are in alignment about what North does take on, which has included releasing her EP, “N0rth4evr,” in May and being on the cover of “Dazed” magazine for their September issue.

The reality star, 45, called herself an “intermediate-strict parent.”

“I’m extremely patient and loving,” she shared. “I still have a kid sleep in my bed when they want. I read books with the kids every night.” 

Kardashian and West, 49, both supported North at her first solo concert at the Vic Theatre in Chicago last month. The exes kept their distance from one another, sitting in different sections of the venue.

Kardashian later proudly shared a video of the sold-out crowd standing shoulder to shoulder as they waited for North’s performance to start on her Instagram Stories.

The concert came after North canceled her 14-stop tour with rapper Molly Santana in July, just days before the first show was set to take place.

In her interview with Dazed magazine, North said that the worst advice she’d ever been given was to wait to start her music career.

“It’s like, nah, this is my hobby, this is what I like to do, this is what I wanna do with my life,” she insisted.

She also defended her bold look, which has included faux piercings and face tattoos.

“Everyone’s in love with boys, vaping and doing all kinds of bad stuff,” she said. “All I want is blue hair and piercings.”
