The collaboration comes after months of rumors that Kanye was "not around much" for North and his other three kids with the reality star: daughter Chicago, 7, and sons Psalm, 5, and Saint West, 9.

"She's pretty much a single mom," the source claimed of Kim. "Although she has help, it's still a lot of work for her to balance and coordinate everything."

The SKIMS designer said as much when she appeared on Zoe Winkler's podcast this past November.

"You and I have mostly connected on parenting and judgment, and you know, feeling like sometimes you’re in this alone," Kim shared.

"Even though we have great support systems and we have people around us, but sometimes in the middle of the night when [the kids are] all sleeping in your bed, kicking you and crying and waking up, like, it is…" continued the mother-of-four. "It’s not something I talk about a lot because I feel like there is always a lot of judgment. Or people will always jump to the, ‘Oh, but you have the resources to have nannies and to have help.'"

However, after a reported four months apart, Kanye reunited with his three youngest children in Japan earlier this month amid the Los Angeles wildfires.
