In a shocking gesture felt across pop culture timelines, Kris Jenner decided to sprinkle some grace onto Father's Day, and yes, even Kanye West got some of that shine. Over the weekend, Jenner posted a sweet tribute to the dads in her vast reality-TV-meets-rap-royalty family. The relatively warm and lofty post praised the usual suspects, Travis Scott, Tristan Thompson, and even her son Rob Kardashian. But the twist was a photo collage that included none other than Yeezy himself with his daughter North West.
"Happy Father's Day to all the dads, stepdads, grandfathers, and father figures out there!" Jenner wrote. You have directed, encouraged, and loved us in countless ways, and I am blessed to have seen the love that each of you has for your children.

For the record, this wasn't regular "putting family drama aside for a holiday" action. Jenner and West have not been chatting, but at least not publicly. Their relationship since KimYe's split has been less than ideal. West has publicly trashed Jenner more than once, engaging in eyebrow-raising allegations that were never substantiated and largely panned.
And that's why this gesture, as small as it may appear, has a fantastic weight: it is a small, surprising peace offering in the form of a Father's Day shoutout.
Of course, there's been no lack of public retort from the West so far. But he will post something cryptic, profound, or nothing at all. Either way, Jenner made sure it was loud enough for everyone watching. It's a rare detour from the regular drama down a softer, more forgiving lane.
Jenner also dedicated a touching paragraph to Rob Kardashian, writing that he is a "natural" dad and she's so proud of the man he's become. This message is wrapped in a giant bow of family-first energy often lost in their empire's dazzle and mayhem.
Whether this is a sign of thaw in the icy Kardashian-West dynamic or just a moment of maturity that is quickly cast aside, only time will tell. But for now, Jenner, for whatever reason, opted for love over pettiness, inclusion over exclusion. And in a realm where reality TV so often skews to conflict, that's worth noting.
