Kim Kardashian thanks ex-husband Kanye West for ‘introducing her to world of fashion’ as she picks up People’s Choice Award

Kim Kardashian has thanked her ex-husband Kanye West in her acceptance choice for her People’s Choice Award.

While the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star filed for divorce from the rapper in February, the pair are clearly on good terms and we love to see it.

Kim landed the fashion icon award at the event, saying during her speech to loud cheers: ‘To Kanye, even, for really introducing me to the fashion world.

‘I fell in love with fashion and I’m so inspired by so many people but again, this is a dream that I get to wake up and wear these amazing clothes and try new things, take a risk,’ she continued.

‘I’m so humbled, thank you so much.’

Kanye, who has been open about wanting to reunite with his ex-wife, does not appear to have responded to the shoutout.

For the event, Kim looked as stunning as always in a head-to-toe skintight black number with lingerie detailing on the outside, gloves, and a pair of dramatic sunglasses.

Elsewhere at the star-studded event, Christina Aguilera won the music icon award, while Halle Berry landed the people’s icon award.

Meanwhile, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson won big, landing male movie star of 2021 and comedy movie star of 2021, as well as the honorary people’s champion award.

Kim, 41, and Kanye, 44, split at the beginning of the year citing amicable differences, and have been co-parenting their children, North, eight, Saint, five, Chicago, three, and Psalm, two.

While the reality icon seems to have moved on with comic Pete Davidson, with the pair enjoying a string of dates recently, Kanye has been very candid about wanting to get back with Kim.

He recently took to his Instagram stories to share an old photo of him and then-wife Kim embracing.

While he didn’t add a caption, the photo includes a headline from TMZ stating: ‘Kanye West says God will bring Kim, 41, and him back together, inspire millions’.

The headline was in reference to a speech Kanye made at a charity event in LA, where he stated he was determined to get back together with his wife. 

In the speech, Kanye said he would fix his marriage as God wants them to see that ‘everything can be redeemed’. 

The musician went on to say that he would be ‘changing the narrative’ around his marriage, and that he would not let E! or Hulu – two channels where the Kardashians have reality shows – ‘write the narrative on my family’.

Explaining that he was trying to express himself in the ‘most sane way’, Kanye added simply: ‘I need to be back in my home.’

He also said that ‘if the enemy can separate Kimye’, it makes ‘millions of families feel that separation is okay’.
