Kanye West looked "relaxed and confident" as he shared a quick hug with Khloe Kardashian after years of bitter family drama.

The pair reunited at a basketball game in Los Angeles as they came together to support the rapper's son Saint West. Kanye fully embraced Khloe, but she gave just a one-arm hug and turned her face away from him.

While Kanye seemed at ease with his former sister-in-law, body language expert Judi James said Khloe seemed to be keen to keep the rapper at a distance. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Judi said: "Khloe's greeting ritual with ex brother-in-law Kanye looks lacking in any real affection from her although Kanye looks very relaxed and confident about instigating the one-arm hug as soon as he sees her.

"Khloe turns this into a fashionista air-kiss, leaning into the partial hug but also turning her face as far to the left as possible as their cheeks meet, as though trying to maintain some sense of emotional distancing." After their embrace, Khloe and Kanye sat near each other as they watched the basketball game.

Khloe went to the game with her five-year-old daughter True Thompson and seven-year-old niece Dream Kardashian. Neither Kim nor Kanye's new wife Bianca Censori attended the game.

Judi suggested Khloe and Kanye may have been trying to keep up appearances for the sake of the children. She explained: "There is a history of keeping up friendships with a sister's ex in this family though, making what looks like Khloe's desire to look polite in front of the kids seem like a diminished statement.

"Her own troublesome ex Tristan has been seen on several public outings with Kim and there was even speculation from some fans that they were an item. Kim went on camera to describe them as 'good friends' but Khloe's body language with Kanye here probably doesn’t quite define that level of rapport."

Kanye has had a tense relationship with his ex-wife Kim and her family ever since it was announced they were getting a divorce. Kanye has often hit out at his ex-wife as they navigate a co-parenting relationship, with Kim being left in tears.

In a rant about custody last month, Kanye was filmed at a party in Las Vegas saying: "I get visitation with my kids — I ain't get no say so. They're walking around with soccer players they don't even f***ing know." Kim has previously admitted "co-parenting is hard" and said she had to shield her children from Kanye's controversial behaviour after he faced widespread criticism for sharing vile anti-Semitic remarks.
