On Saturday, Kim Kardashian hosted an extravagant soccer-themed party for her son Saint West’s eighth birthday at her mansion in Hidden Hills. In her Instagram Stories, the SKIMS founder showed how she thought of everything to make it Saint’s special day, starting with a giant chocolate soccer ball centerpiece adorned with his name.
As a caption, she wrote, “Fun fact – Saint hates cake, so @butterloveandhardwork made an all-chocolate soccer ball instead of a cake! The kids loved it.”
In another video, Saint hits the ball with a mallet and when it breaks open, dozens more chocolate soccer balls roll out for the guests to grab.
She shared video shots of the bites made for the kids by a private chef, all of which was either shaped like soccer balls or patterned with them, including water bottles, onion rings, and pancakes.
“Everything is soccer-themed!” the proud mom exclaimed in one clip.
In the backyard, there were multiple bouncy houses and inflatables for the children to pick and choose from, as well as soccer games for them to play.
She checked in briefly with Saint’s four-year-old brother Psalm West, asking, “Does anyone recognize this boy?”
There was also a rack of black and white T-shirts by Adidas, reading “Best In The West” on the front and Saint’s name and the number eight on the back. Saint is Kardashian’s oldest son with ex-husband Kanye West, with whom she also shares Psalm, ten-year-old North, and five-year-old Chicago.
In addition to the party, the beauty mogul shared a carousel of photos on her timeline to celebrate her son, writing, “My twin Sainto! How are you 8 years old already! I just love you so so so much!”
In one photo, Saint is wearing a Ronaldo jersey.
