The stars aligned when Chicago West entered Kim Kardashian’s world.
“I honestly didn’t know too much about what raising a Capricorn girl would be like but you make it so easy and fun and silly!!!” The Kardashians star wrote on Instagram Jan. 15 in a birthday tribute to her youngest daughter. “I can already see the determination and ambition you have within you.”
And Kim—who shares now 7-year-old Chicago along with daughter North West, 11, and sons Saint West, 9, and Psalm West, 5, with ex-husband Kanye West—is grateful for the twinkle she brings to the whole family.
"You are so smart, sweet, silly and so lovable to everyone around you especially your cousins!” the SKIMS mogul added. “It’s magical to see you all together and all the love that exists between the tribe."
Fans have gotten a glimpse into the close bond Chicago—or “Chi Chi” as her mom calls her—has with her loved ones as she's made cameos in older sister North’s TikToks and posed for snaps during cousin outings with Stormi Webster, who will turn 7 Feb. 1 and True Thompson, set to celebrate the same milestone April 12.
And followers have seen her become Kim’s mini-me, with the American Horror Story alum often calling the little one her “twin.”
As Kim put it on a 2018 episode of Ashley Graham’s podcast Pretty Big Deal, "I think I was so nervous to have a surrogate and to have that connection that God was like, 'I’m gonna make her look just like you.'"
Aside from being a member of one of reality TV’s most famous families, Chicago is just like many other kids her age—with Kim telling Jimmy Fallon on an August episode of The Tonight Show the elementary school student is “full princess” and “into anything glitter.” And she let followers know some of her other interests during her appearance in dad Kanye’s music video for the song “BOMB.”
“It’s Chicago, you know I’m the one,” she says on the track released this past November. “I like to have fun. I like to go to the beach. I like the sun. You know it’s Chi. I only wave when I’m telling them bye.”
