Kim Kardashian reveals son Saint, 8, is ‘living the absolute dream’ as the star offspring plays for an ‘All Star’ basketball team and serves as Lionel Messi’s mascot in the space of 48 hours

Kim Kardashian shed light on her children’s love of sports this weekend.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, 43, took to Instagram on Saturday to reveal that her son Saint, eight, who she shares with ex Kanye West, had been picked for ‘the All Star Team’ and shared that he was ‘playing so well ‘ .

In another nod to Saint’s passion for sports, she shared a video the next day of Saint acting as a mascot for soccer legend Lionel Messi.

As LA Galaxy played against Messi’s team Inter Miami, which is co-owned by David Beckham, Saint walked onto the pitch with the football legend, in the ritual of football matches where children lead the players to the speech.

Kim, who also co-parents North, 10, Chicago, five, and youngest son Psalm, four, with Kanye, admitted her son is “living the absolute dream” with his sporting scores.

She couldn’t hide her pride in her son’s triumph

During Saturday’s basketball game, Kim proudly shared a video of the game and wrote, “Saint made the All Star team. They won and he played so well.”

His great weekend of sporting fun continued the next day, with his appearance alongside Messi at the football match.

After the match against Inter Miami, Kim shared the sweet video with her 75.1 million Twitter followers and wrote the caption: ‘Saint Messi walking onto the pitch tonight during the match between La Galaxy and Inter Miami!!! He’s living the absolute dream!’

Kim has made no secret of Saint’s passion for sport, with the star calling herself a ‘soccer mum’ in December. She shared a photo of her dinner at PF Chang, showing Saint’s eight football trading cards on the table.

“What a soccer mom dinner looks like,” she wrote on the photo. Among the collectibles was a 2022-2023 Topps Merlin Chrome UEFA Ageless Alchemy card featuring former Brazilian footballer Roberto Carlos.

Kim has often been pictured attending her son’s matches, and last year she even took her ‘soccer-obsessed’ offspring to a number of professional matches.

While at PF Chang’s, Kim also shared her fortune cookie with the caption, “The day is near when you share your talent with the world,” to which she hilariously replied, “Finally.”

For his eighth birthday, Saint celebrated his birthday with a football-themed party – with his cake in the shape of a larger-than-life football. Kim transformed the backyard of her $60 million mansion into a footballer’s paradise.

Saint and his friends ran around the backyard, which was filled with different inflatables and setups that helped them work on their soccer skills, like kicking and scoring goals.

All partygoers also received a unique gift: a white Adidas football shirt with ‘Best in the West’ on the front and the name of Saint Nicholas and the number eight on the back.

Saint also paid tribute to his sporting hero Neymar on his birthday by getting a new haircut to imitate one of his favorite players.

In October, the youngster had his curly locks cut into Neymar’s signature mohawk before dressing up as a ‘zombie version’ of the Brazilian player for Halloween.

Saint went one step further this month and had the tips of his locks dyed bright blonde to emulate the footballer’s signature style.

While Kim played football at school, her interest in the sport has been strengthened by Saint’s love for the game (pictured with Saint)
