Kim Kardashian is one of the most staunch and leading figures on social media who has mass appeal and her followers certainly look up to her for her independent and hard-working lifestyle. Recently, Kim was applauded by netizens for her parenting style and for breaking stereotypes while embracing a diverse family dynamic.
The latest reaction comes shortly after the SKIMS founder revealed that in order to influence her son, Saint, she hired a male nanny (also known as Manny) for her son. Kim also got candid about her ex-husband Kanye West’s reaction to it.
As per the People magazine report, on the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim admitted that she was scared to tell Kanye that she had hired the manny to be around her son.
In a rather unsurprising turn of events, Kim’s stirring revelation grabbed the spotlight on social media. ALSO READ | Kim Kardashian Has Set NEW, STRICT Dating Criteria After Her Whirlwind Romance With Pete Davidson, Here's Why-DETAILS INSIDE
Kim said, "It's really hard for me to be really strict and to discipline a lot. My parents weren't strict at all and sometimes because I'm really busy, it would be amazing if I had a partner who would tap me out and take over and handle it but, you know, it can't happen like that."
She added, "I do think that my household and even our family is very female-dominated. I recently hired a manny. I really wanted a male around that would be picking them up and taking them to sports, and I was scared out of my mind to tell their dad (Kanye West) that."
Well, inspite of her hesitation to inform Kanye about the male nanny, things went well, when they introduced himself.
Kim said, “When he (male nanny) was dropping off the kids, Kanye introduced himself. They played two-on-two with Saint and him. He's been so nice to him, like 'Hey, if you're going to help raise my son' – because he handed him the ball really easily or something – he's like, 'Don't do that, have him get it himself. It's some of the rules I would want.' And I was like 'Oh my God, okay.'”
Many stormed the comments section of a tweet from Pop Base on X (formerly known as Twitter). A person wrote, "This isn’t a bad thing… if she has to do this clearly the father isn't being present and a lot of kids feel abandoned not having a father figure." Another person tweeted in support of Kim, "She is proving yet again that parenting knows no gender. With a 'manny' in tow, she's rewriting the rules and embracing a diverse family dynamic. Because in her world, it's all about love, support, and breaking barriers!"
One more said, "Smart move, but the split can still affect the child, whether there's a male nanny or not."
However, some questioned Kim’s decision and one user wrote, "Or or or... Let his actual father do that?" A second tweeted, "The boy needs fatherly love not a male nanny." A third wrote, "This is kind of problematic in so many ways..." ALSO READ | Kim Kardashian-Kanye West DIVORCE!

Another tweeted in reaction to those slamming Kim, "He (Kanye West) wasn't around even when they were married and you all think he is going to be around now that they are divorced?"
Kim Kardashian had filed for divorce from Kanye West in February and their marriage of six years legally ended in November 2022, the two reached a settlement. Their breakup was messy and Kanye had lashed out at Kim multiple times on social media and even criticised her parenting style.
Now, Kanye is reportedly married to Bianca Censori, while Kim is single after her break up with comedian Pete Davidson earlier this year after nine months of dating.
