Kim Kardashian and Kanye West first started dating in 2011 after years of friendship. They quickly became a power couple, and over the course of their 10-year relationship, West and Kardashian welcomed four children together: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.

Although they have faced challenges in both their relationship and parenting in the public eye, West and Kardashian have always prioritized their children first. "No matter what we're going through, I always want my kids to be around their dad as much as possible and just have their mornings with Dad and get dropped off at school," Kardashian explained during an episode of The Kardashians on Hulu.

Five months after West and Kardashian announced their divorce, a source told PEOPLE that West shared a similar outlook. ​​"He wants the best for his kids," the insider explained. "He is keeping things amicable with Kim so the kids can be happy."

Though Kardashian and West may no longer be together, it's clear that they continue to take their roles as co-parents very seriously. "Make sure you are your co-parent's biggest cheerleader, no matter what you're personally going through," Kardashian told Vogue in February 2022.

West continues to keep his legacy — his kids — top of mind. In September 2022, the Yeezy creator posted a photo of himself embracing North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm on Instagram.

The caption said: "Some things are bigger than money. My kids have no idea what daddy has gone through this past few days alone to secure the brand that will one day be handed down to them, God Willing." West was likely referring to his ongoing feud with Adidas.

The same month, he felt remorseful about how he's treated the "mother of his children" during a Good Morning America interview.

"I apologize for any stress that I have caused, even in my frustration, because God calls me to be stronger," he said. "But also, ain't nobody else needs to be causing no stress either. I need this person to be least stressed and at best sound mind and as calm as possible to be able to raise those children."

Kardashian and West's divorce was finalized on Nov. 29, 2022, with the parents agreeing to joint physical and legal custody of their four children.

"Although Kim and Kanye share custody [of the kids], Kim is the primary caregiver," a source told PEOPLE. "They agreed that Kanye needs to speak to Kim in private about any complaints and not go public with them. She wants the kids to be protected. Kim hopes the co-parenting will be a bit easier from now on."

In January 2023, Nickelodeon and Spin Master announced that North will play a part in the upcoming PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie alongside Kardashian who is the voice of Dolores. It was also mentioned that Saint would make a cameo.

From welcoming their four children to their sweet family moments, here's everything to know about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's kids.

North West, Kardashian and West's first child, was born on June 15, 2013, in Los Angeles, California. According to grandmother Kris Jenner, her unusual name has a sweet significance. "The way [Kim] explained it to me was that North means highest power and she says that North is their highest point together," she explained on The View. "I thought that was very sweet."

​​North is well-known for her outspoken personality, something her parents have encouraged from day one. "I want to learn what my daughter has to say. What she learns. I just want to learn how she learns in this world," West said in 2016. "I'm extremely protective."

And North doesn't hold back her opinions — even when she's her mom's plus-one to Paris Fashion Week. In July 2022, she held up a handwritten "Stop" sign aimed at photographers who were snapping her photo during the show. "North I guess had it with the people taking pictures of her so she wrote on her invite STOP and held it up and wanted them to just focus on the show," Kardashian explained on Instagram.

With her family, North is even blunter. According to Kardashian, North calls her mom's house "ugly" whenever they get into disagreements. "She'll say, 'Your house is so ugly, it's all white! Who lives like this?' " Kardashian explained in October 2021. "She just thinks it, like, gets to me, and it is kind of mean because I like my house."

In another interview, Kardashian joked, "Who intimidates me? I was going to say politicians, but they don't. Maybe just my daughter, North."

North is also a budding artist and "loves to paint," as Kardashian previously explained. In February 2021, the proud mom clapped back at social media users who questioned whether North had actually painted a piece of artwork she had shared.

"DON'T PLAY WITH ME WHEN IT COMES TO MY CHILDREN!!!" Kardashian wrote at the time. "My daughter and her best friend have been taking a serious oil painting class where their talents and creativity are being encouraged and nurtured."

The 9-year-old is even following in her father's footsteps when it comes to fashion design. Kardashian showed off a few of North's sketches for West's Yeezy line in July 2022.

In October 2022, North showed off her fashion sense again when she and her friends dressed as members of R&B group TLC. North resembled Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas in an all-black outfit as she danced and lip-synched in a TikTok video with friends.

North then showed off another Halloween outfit, an all-leather black studded suit with a white cowboy-style hat, as she grooved to a sped-up version of Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back," in another TikTok clip.

Of course, that's not the only time North has shown off her moves online. The 9-year-old has been known to post videos of herself dancing on TikTok, sometimes including Kardashian in the clips. One video, posted on Jan. 24, 2023, featured the mother-daughter duo grooving to a sped-up version of Ciara's "Get Up."

In the clip, Kardashian and North held hands, hopped on the balls of their feet and placed peace signs over their eyes. "The things North makes me do," Kardashian wrote in the caption.

Saint West, 7

West and Kardashian's second child, Saint West, was born on Dec. 5, 2015, in L.A. West gets the credit for choosing Saint's uncommon name. Apparently, the rapper was "going back and forth for a while" before landing on Saint because he wanted the name to have "spiritual significance."

A friend of West told PEOPLE, "It needed to mean something and he agonized over it, probably even more than Kim ... Kanye believes that a name is extremely important and that it's the first sense of identity that we have."

Saint is a mini doppelgänger of West, and he's just as spunky as his older sister.

In June 2022, Saint got scolded by Kardashian for saying, "Hi, weirdos!" while on Instagram Live with his mom. That same month, Saint and his little brother Psalm accompanied Kardashian to The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, where they sat in the audience and adorably interrupted the interview.

After Fallon stopped his and Kardashian's conversation to say, "I'm hearing kids," Kardashian asked the boys to quiet down. "Guys, can you stop? This is, like, your first time at work with me," she said while the audience laughed and applauded.

Mischief aside, Saint has a serious bond with both of his parents. Kardashian previously called him her "bestie with the best snuggles" in a tribute for his 6th birthday. The mother-son duo also took part in a sweet impromptu photoshoot in September 2021 where they coordinated in matching black Matrix-esque looks.

He's also a budding sports fan, attending a Golden State Warriors NBA game with West in March 2022. Saint even received a football lesson from one of the best quarterbacks in the game, Tom Brady. West posted a video of Saint and Brady throwing a football back and forth in a suite at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stadium in November 2021.

"I like basketball too!" Saint proudly told the quarterback in the video.

In October 2022, Kardashian took Saint to a Los Angeles Rams game at SoFi Stadium in L.A. The reality star shared photos and videos from the event on her Instagram Story, in which Saint posed around the stadium while wearing a Jalen Ramsey jersey and a Rams hat. The boy also got to pose with the team's Lombardi trophy from their Super Bowl win last year. Roughly a month later, Kardashian arranged for Saint to meet Ramsey on his 7th birthday at another Rams home game.

Saint also seems to love soccer. In March 2023, Kardashian took him and his friends to watch England's Arsenal F.C. play Portugal's Sporting Lisbon in London. The reality star shared photos and clips from the outing on her Instagram Stories, including images of Saint and his friends watching the game, chanting "Defense!"

Chicago West, 5

West and Kardashian welcomed their third child, Chicago West, on Jan. 15, 2018. The couple had Chicago via surrogate after Kardashian's previous high-risk pregnancies. "We are incredibly grateful to our surrogate who made our dreams come true with the greatest gift one could give and to our wonderful doctors and nurses for their special care," Kardashian announced.

Chicago may be named for West's hometown, but she definitely takes after Kardashian. For her 4th birthday, Kardashian called her youngest daughter her "independent baby girl twin" and the "ultimate princess."

Chicago was born right around the same time as her cousins Stormi (daughter of Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott) and True (daughter of Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson). The three girls are known as "The Triplets," and have already formed quite the bond.

Chicago's joint birthday party with Stormi also stirred up some co-parenting drama between West and Kardashian after the rapper claimed he was not invited to the event. His comments made waves on social media, but West ended up attending the birthday bash. A PEOPLE source said that West is "always welcome and does come to family events."

After Chicago's party, West thanked Jenner and Scott for extending an invite. "I'm really happy that I could be there for my children … My life centers around my children," he added.

Chicago has already started developing her own fashion sense. While she often matched with her mom and big sister North as a toddler, she's since shown off her unique style, rocking a throwback Britney Spears T-shirt on one occasion and a bright pink jumpsuit with cowboy boots on another. Chicago is still taking a hint from her very stylish mom, however — Kardashian even once caught her trying to "sneak off" with a purse from her closet!

On Jan. 15, 2023, Kardashian celebrated Chicago's 5th birthday with a Hello Kitty party. The reality star shared images and videos of the event on her Instagram Story, showing off lots of playful decor, including balloon structures and slides leading to a ball pit.

Psalm West, 3

West and Kardashian's youngest child, Psalm West, was born via surrogate on May 3, 2019, in L.A. Like the rest of their children, Psalm's name holds special significance for West and Kardashian. "The inspiration was the Book of Psalms in the Bible," Kardashian's mom, Kris Jenner, explained to ET Online shortly after his birth. "I think it's just a wonderful way to celebrate how they feel. And he's such a blessing, so it's perfect."

According to Kardashian, Psalm's arrival helped bring her family together. "[North, Saint and Chicago] love him. He has helped everyone come together. So now everyone gets along," she told PEOPLE. "Everyone loves each other. Everyone is helpful. And everyone loves him. Like, obsessed with him."

Kardashian also called Psalm "the sweetest baby ever" on his 2nd birthday. "He's my child that looks most Armenian to me like my grandpa and reminds me so much of my dad," the reality star wrote. When Psalm was a baby, Kardashian even thought he could be her father Robert Kardashian reincarnated because they share so many of the same characteristics.

As the youngest of Kardashian and West's kids, Psalm spends plenty of time with his three siblings, whether they're playing in the sand on vacation or posing for silly photos before bedtime.

In May 2022, the family celebrated Psalm's 3rd birthday with an epic Hulk-themed party. The bash included everything from an elaborate custom cake (which came with a Hulk hand smashing through the top) to a make-your-own-slime station.
