Kim Kardashian’s son walked onto field hand in hand with Messi at LA Galaxy - Inter Miami game
Saint, one of Kardashian’s four children with former husband Kanye West, was chosen to accompany Lionel Messi onto the Dignity Health Sports Park field.
Lionel Messi was Inter Miami’s goal hero against Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday, salvaging a point for the Herons by scoring a fine stoppage-time leveller at Dignity Health Sports Park.
As ever, all eyes were on Miami’s star striker from the moment he took to the field for the MLS clash - and on this occasion, he emerged from the tunnel hand in hand with a very special guest: Kim Kardashian’s son.
That’s because eight-year-old Saint, one of Kardashian’s four children with ex-husband Kanye West, was the pre-match mascot chosen to accompany Messi onto the pitch in Carson, California.
Kardashian kid “living absolute dream” alongside Messi
Posting on the social-media platform X, Kardashian published a video of her son alongside the Miami captain, with the message: “Saint walking Messi out on the field tonight at the La Galaxy vs Inter Miami game!!! He is living the absolute dream!”
Saint a soccer lover
This isn’t the first time that Saint, who is a huge soccer fan, has met Messi. In July 2023, Kardashian posted a video of the youngster and his pals getting a photo with the Argentine after his debut for Inter Miami. “Best day of their entire lives,” she wrote on Instagram Stories.
Over the past couple of years, Kardashian has made a habit of taking to social media to share her son’s soccer-watching experiences and encounters with major figures in the game.
In March 2023, she took Saint and a group of his pals to the Emirates Stadium for Arsenal’s Europa League clash with Sporting CP. “Soccer moms unite!!!” Kardashian wrote on Instagram, together with a picture of herself next to Saint, who was decked out in a Gunners shirt. “This was the trip of a lifetime! Taking Saint and his besties to London to see Arsenal play!!!”
Days later, Kim, Saint and Kendall Jenner were at the Parc des Princes in the French capital, to see Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain in action. Kardashian shared photos of the trio in a box at the stadium, as well as images of her son and his friends posing with PSG stars such as Kylian Mbappé and Keylor Navas.
“The soccer tour continued to Paris to see PSG play!!!!” the 43-year-old posted. “The boys got to meet their fave players are [sic] we’re in heaven! Soccer moms for the win!”
