Kim Kardashian And Nephew Mason Disick Get Silly On Instagram

We seldom see Kim Kardashian crack a smile, let alone any other silly face, but when she’s hanging out with her nephew, it’s a whole different story.

The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star took to Instagram Saturday night to post a series of eight silly selfies with Mason Disick, the son of older sister Kourtney and Scott Disick. The photos, which show the pair doing their best emoji impressions, come after the news of Kourtney Kardashian’s split with Disick last week.

Normally, we’d be a little annoyed at anyone for posting eight selfies in a single night, but a) this is Kim Kardashian we’re talking about, and she does have an entire book of selfies published, and b) there is an adorable child involved.

The 34-year-old Kardashian sister is seemingly just trying to keep her young nephew happy in the wake of his parents’ breakup. Mason’s sister Penelope has also been spending plenty of time with the reality star and her daughter, North West. The two cousins are just adorable:

Kardashian and Disick, who had been dating since 2006, officially ended their relationship over the July 4th weekend, unnamed sources told E!.
