Kim Kardashian is embracing family life as she celebrates her 44th birthday on October 21. Sources close to the reality star indicate that her primary focus at this time is on her four children: North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5, whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West.
“She’s very much focused on being a mom right now,” an exclusive source told PEOPLE. “She’s not even dating anyone now. It’s all about work and the kids.” This commitment to motherhood comes with its own challenges. The source added, “Although she has help, it’s still a lot of work for her to balance and coordinate everything.”
Despite the demands of raising four children, Kardashian reportedly feels good as she transitions into this new year of her life. “She seems great,” the insider shared. “She had an early birthday celebration with her family. She seems fine about turning 44.”
In the early hours of her birthday, Kardashian took to Instagram to share sultry footage of herself wearing a skin-tight ensemble she humorously dubbed her “Birthday Suit.” The Diesel D-Rooney slip dress fit her like a second skin, showcasing her iconic style. She also posted a picture of a birthday cake with the date circled, indicating her excitement about her special day.
Kardashian’s birthday festivities included heartfelt tributes from family members, notably her mother, Kris Jenner. In an emotional post, Jenner praised her daughter, calling her “a light to everyone who meets you.” She acknowledged Kardashian’s strength and determination, highlighting her efforts to help others while providing love and support to her family.
“Your strength and determination is second to none, and the way you constantly fight for those who need your help is inspiring,” Kris wrote. “I’m so proud of you every single day. You are the most amazing mother, daughter, sister, auntie, and friend.” She added, “You are such a huge part of my heart, and I cherish every single precious memory we have ever made. You bring me such happiness and joy, and I love you beyond any measure, my beautiful daughter. I love you 💕.”
Since her split from West in 2021, Kardashian has navigated the complexities of co-parenting and her dating life. She briefly dated comedian Pete Davidson for nine months in 2022. More recently, Kardashian was linked to NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. A source revealed in September 2023 that the two were “hanging out” following Beckham’s breakup with his girlfriend, Lauren Wood.

By February, their relationship remained “pretty casual,” with both parties enjoying each other’s company without serious commitment. However, by April, it appears their connection had “fizzled out,” according to another source.
While Kardashian’s dating life may have slowed, her focus remains firmly on her children. She has been seen sharing moments with them, including a recent family trip to a Halloween experience alongside her sisters, Kourtney and Khloé. “These cutie kids of ours” was the caption she used, reflecting her joy in spending quality time with her family.
As she enters her 44th year, Kardashian appears to be cherishing her role as a mother above all else. The balancing act of work and family is one she is determined to navigate, even as her celebrity status continues to grow. Known for her influential presence in both the entertainment and business worlds, Kardashian continues to make headlines, but it’s her family that she prioritizes most.
