Kim’s son is a huge fan of the sport, and he loved attending all of the games in different countries.
Recently, Kardashian fans have started talking about the lavish sports trips again.
Kim’s brand Skims just released a new advertisement for the new men’s line, and the video features some familiar faces.
Football player Nick Bosa, soccer player Neymar Jr., and basketball player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander were all front and center in the ad.
Each of them was filmed while taking their shirts off and they revealed their muscular bodies.
But, this wasn’t the first time the Hulu star has been linked to Neymar.
While at a game in Paris, she FaceTimed the Paris Saint-Germain star so he could talk to Saint.
He wasn’t playing during the match because he was ruled out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury.
COLLECTING ALL THE ATHLETES
After the new Skims campaign was released, fans of The Kardashians on Reddit thought Kim went to the soccer game in Paris just for Neymar.
One said: “Kim didn’t do the soccer tour for Saint, she went to collect Neymar.”
Another said: “Kim has been able to get some big celebs for skims but athletes?? they’re a different breed when it comes to sponsorships.
“That budget must be insane I can’t imagine how much they each got paid for this campaign.”
A third said: “Her trip with Saint def had ulterior motives- the trip was all about business not just bonding with her son.”
THE REASON WHY
The real reason for Kim’s surprise trip to London with Saint was revealed exclusively to The U.S. Sun.
On the trip, Kim watched an Arsenal FC game with her son while sparking rumors that she wanted to become a WAG and date a footballer.
But insiders close to the star claim it was all about spending time with her oldest son after the split from his dad.
The insider said: “Kim had so many years where she had to be the strict parent while Kanye was the ‘fun parent’
“And now Kanye’s remarried and is introducing the children to his new wife, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s getting to Kim and she feels insecure.
“For years, she was the one keeping the family together, making sure the kids all spent time with Kanye and got to all their activities.
“The London trip was a surprise for him and his buddies and their moms – a chance to bond with Saint and be super involved with his life like Kim’s mom is with hers.
“It’s like she doesn’t want Kanye and his new wife overshadowing her.”
