Kanye West Treats Kim Kardashian to Italian Getaway for Her Birthday

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (3)

Kim Kardashian wasn’t excited about turning 32 over the weekend but her boyfriend Kanye West changed that by whisking her off to Italy. In an interview with E! News, Kardashian admitted she wasn’t looking forward to her birthday. “I’m not so into a 32nd birthday. Doesn’t do it for me, so I don’t really care,” she said. West must have sensed it and took his girl to Italy for a getaway. The pair was spotted walking the streets of Rome. West and Kardashian stopped for a birthday dinner at Il Bolognese and the other patrons were treated to quite the spectacle. Kardashian was photographed walking into the restaurant in a black outfit with thigh-high boots but left the restaurant in a completely different outfit.

“The thing that struck me the most was that [Kim] came in dressed in one way and left the restaurant dressed in another,” said the restaurant’s owner to People Magazine. “Mid-dinner [Kim and Kayne’s] driver came into the restaurant with a huge carrier bag and dress carrier.”

According to the owner, his customers were awe struck by the couple’s presence. “[Kim] went into the bathroom and changed. Some of our guests were already quite stunned by her presence and even more so when she reappeared looking completely different,” he continued. “When she came in, she was wearing a long black dress with long sleeves and a huge [slit] up the leg with knee-high boots but when then she left wearing a green outfit.”
By the end of the trip, Kardashian was gushing about her birthday weekend on Twitter. “Italy is so beautiful! Best Birthday ever!!!” she tweeted. According to various sources, the couple is considering an engagement. “’It’s only a matter of time before Kanye pops the question,” said the source. “They are madly in love with one another and as far as Kanye is concerned he wants to spend the rest of his life with Kim.”

While West and Kardashian might be ring shopping, Kris Humphries is trying to move his mom into his building. According to TMZ, Humphries is moving his mom from Minnesota to New Jersey, where he has a condo. While his mother is going to have a condo of her own, the recent divorcee will have a key to her son’s apartment and allegedly has a habit of stopping by unannounced.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
