Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Get Stalled in Paris Traffic

Returning to Paris for Monday’s Watch the Throne Tour encore performance, West, 35, stepped out with Kardashian, 31, on Father’s Day. The couple, who are staying at the Four Seasons Hotel George V, enjoyed a late brunch date at chic eatery L’Avenue on Avenue Montaigne before capping off their meal on a sweet note: ice cream cones from Häagen-Dazs.

After making a pit stop at a luxury car dealership, West, sporting a black hoodie, and Kardashian, rocking a curve-hugging green dress and mid-calf boots, emerged in a new ride: a white convertible Lamborghini.

But their hot wheels didn’t get them too far. It took the couple, who started dating in April, about an hour to drive less than three miles from Place de la Madeleine to the Eiffel Tower.

“Basically, the car is like a jet airplane,” one observer tells PEOPLE, “but they didn’t plan on Paris traffic on a Sunday afternoon.”

Adds another observer: “It was actually kind of funny. I mean, how often do you see anyone behind the wheel of a Lamborghini looking kind of bored?”

But there was an upside to the traffic – at least for fellow drivers sharing the road.

“There were a lot of people sitting in cars alongside them during their drive,” an observer adds. “Every so often, they’d be in traffic and someone in a car next to them would recognize [West] and go, ‘Oh, whoa! Kanye! So Cool!’ ”

The ABS Newsletter — Stories that matter, in your inbox.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
