Kim Kardashian Revisits Claims She Forgot Daughter North West in Paris: 'I Didn't Forget Her'
Kim Kardashian is not here for the mom-shaming.
The SKIMS mogul is finally revisiting that viral Paris clip from 2014, when she was seen exiting a building solo, only to turn back moments later and return with her daughter North West. The brief separation sparked tons of internet gossip over the years, accusing Kim of forgetting her own child.
Fast forward to 2025, and Kim is setting the record straight once and for all.
Posting to her Instagram Story over the weekend, the mom of four reshared the now-infamous video, along with a very fitting caption for the reality star.
"I wanted to show the look off before holding her bc her outfit didn't match mine! I didn't forget her!!!!" Kim, who shares North with ex, Kanye West, clarified to her 356 million Instagram followers.
While the latest explanation centers around outfit coordination, it slightly contradicts her original 2014 defense on X (then Twitter), where she insisted: "I went to the car to make sure the car seat was in because the day before we had a car seat issue."
According to the Los Angeles Times, Kim clowned the critics for thinking she would leave a "1 year old" behind in a hotel lobby all by herself, adding: "Oh wait she was waiting to check out lol."
North, meanwhile, is doing just fine these days, with the proud mom marking her first-born's 12th birthday with a touching tribute on Instagram last month, complete with 12 photos from throughout her daughter's life.
"My little baby North turns 12 years old today," Kim wrote. "We were looking at pics today together and laughing so hard, you were so small."
She continued, calling motherhood her "most special calling," and showing major love to the "musician" her daughter is quickly becoming.
And North is doing exactly that. The preteen recently appeared in FKA Twigs' "Childlike Things" music video and voiced a character alongside her mom in PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie.
North is also reportedly working on her debut project, Elementary School Dropout, inspired by her dad's iconic 2004 album, College Dropout.
She's even on track to surpass her famous family, with Kim revealing back in February that [North] "generated 22 billion impressions and over $1 billion in advertising, media…"
"North, you're not gonna take me down," she joked at the time. "She has 18% more popularity than all of her family members."

'Trump's staff was like, 'A simple no would've been fine,'' Jimmy Fallon said. 'Trump said he was invited to the island but didn't want to go. I get it — it's so annoying when you get invited to a destination crime scene, isn't it?' — JIMMY FALLON 'Trump was like, 'I'm sorry, what I really meant was I never had the honor.' — JIMMY FALLON '[imitating Epstein] 'Hey, Donald, want go to the island this weekend?' '[imitating Trump] Well, first of all, Jeffrey, thank you for thinking of me. Unfortunately, that's the weekend that the teen pageant that I bought is installing the indoor security locker room cameras.'' — JON STEWART '[imitating Trump] Sadly, I never had the honor of dining with Jeffrey Dahmer.' — STEPHEN COLBERT 'Privilege was not the word you wanted to use.

Foreign couples flock to Denmark to get married. Copenhagen wants to save room for locals
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Facing complex bureaucracy at home in Poland, Magdalena Kujawińska and her Colombian fiancé Heinner Valenzuela traveled to Copenhagen to become husband and wife. 'We realized that it's not that easy to get married in Poland,' the 30-year-old Kujawińska said as the couple waited for their 10-minute ceremony at the Danish capital's 19th-century City Hall. 'You need a certificate that you are not married,' she said. 'We tried to get it from Colombia, but it's only valid for three months, and it couldn't get to Poland from Colombia in three months. It was just impossible for us.' The couple, who live in Krakow, had been engaged for more than three years when Kujawińska heard about Denmark's relatively relaxed marriage laws from a colleague. Working with an online wedding planner, the couple prepared the necessary documents. 'And in four days, we had the decision that the marriage could be done here,' a smiling Kujawińska said. Copenhagen attracts couples from around the world Couples who don't live in Denmark, both mixed- and same-sex, are increasingly getting married in the Scandinavian country — prompting some to dub Copenhagen the 'Las Vegas of Europe.' The head of the marriage office at Copenhagen City Hall, Anita Okkels Birk Thomsen, said that about 8,000 wedding ceremonies were performed there last year. Of those, some 5,400 of them were for couples in which neither partner was a Danish resident. 'That's almost double what we saw five years ago,' she said. 'They come from all over the world.' City wants to ensure room for locals But the city sees a downside to that: demand for ceremonies at City Hall now far exceeds the number of slots available. Mia Nyegaard, the Copenhagen official in charge of culture and leisure, said in a statement to The Associated Press that the 'significant rise' in the number of foreign couples getting married in the capital 'poses challenges for Copenhagen-based couples wishing to get married.' Local authorities plan to take action. Nyegaard said about 40% of wedding slots available at City Hall will be reserved for Copenhagen residents starting from the end of October. While booking a slot there is the most obvious way to get married in the city, arranging a ceremony with a private registrar is also an option, and that won't be affected. Copenhagen lawmakers will look after the summer break at what else they can do to relieve overall pressure on wedding capacity in the city. Liberal laws Denmark's marriage laws are liberal in several ways. In 1989, the country became the world's first to allow the registration of same-sex civil unions. The legalization of same-sex marriage followed in 2012. For unions of all kinds, Denmark — unlike many other European countries — doesn't require a birth certificate or proof of single status to obtain a certificate that grants the right to get married in Denmark within four months. Officials might, in cases where divorce papers don't show clearly that a divorce has been finalized, ask for a civil status certificate. Applications to Denmark's agency of family law cost 2,100 kroner ($326), and couples are issued with a certificate within five working days if they satisfy the requirements. Non-resident couples can travel to Denmark and get married with just a valid passport and, if required, a tourist visa. 'We get that thing like, 'Are you sure we do not need a birth certificate?' And we go, 'Yes,'' said Rasmus Clarck Sørensen, director of Getting Married in Denmark. Clarck Sørensen, a Dane, began the wedding planning business with his British wife back in 2014. 'In the last 20, 30 years, people just meet more across borders,' he said. 'Marriage rules are often made for two people of the same country getting married.' 'They kind of piled on patches onto marriage law, and a lot of people get trapped in those patches,' he added. His online company's 'Complete Service' package, priced at 875 euros ($1,014), includes help gathering all the necessary documents, processing the certificate application and organizing the date of the ceremony. The business says it helped over 2,600 couples last year. Copenhagen, easily Denmark's biggest city with the country's best transport links, is the most popular location and so far appears to be the only one struggling with demand. Any changes to the city's rules will come too late to bother newlyweds Kujawińska and Valenzuela, who are now busy planning a celebration in Poland with family and friends. 'It means a lot for us because we've been waiting a lot for this,' Kujawińska said. 'We're really happy.'
