So are Kanye and Kim getting back together or not? A deep dive

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have shown a united front in the months following the pair's divorce announcement in February, sparking rumours of a reconciliation.

But while the pair have been publicly seen together at the rapper's Donda album listening parties — most recently reenacting their wedding at the third instalment — the conversation of a reunion remains clouded.

After being spotted leaving the album launch holding hands, a source tells TMZ the parents of four are working on "rebuilding the foundation of their relationship."

Kardashian is allegedly considering withdrawing her divorce petition from West.

The entrepreneur has attended all of her ex-husband's Donda events, sporting a full-face covered bondage suit and participating in the show.

However, conflicting reports say the joint performance was simply "art" in a bid to sell the rapper's album ahead of his musical nemesis Drake, who plans to release his sixth album at the same time.

"Kanye has been telling other rappers that he and Kim are back together, but everybody knows that isn't true," a source told Page Six.

"The real story is that Kanye wants to beat Drake in record sales, and he is putting on a big show of performance art to grab all the media attention."

The source added the pair weren't "talking for months" in the lead up to their divorce, and solely reunited for "the sake of their kids."

"She's happy to support him in his work and his art, she wants a good relationship with him for the sake of their children," they said.

Though the pair are both single, West previously had a romantic relationship with Russian model Irina Shayk in July.

The couple's romance was short-lived, however, with a source informing People, "it was never serious."

Kardashian filed for divorce in February, just one month after Page Six exclusively revealed they were calling it quits.
