Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have caused a frenzy among their fans as they reunited at a swanky Malibu restaurant.
The former couple treated their eldest daughter North West to dinner at Nobu on Wednesday, where they were joined by a group of the youngster's friends. Kim and Kanye arrived separately but are said to have spent an hour and a half together inside the restaurant.
Kim looked tense during the reunion, with body language expert Judi James suggesting the reality star showed signs of "some inner tension". However, Judi also believes Kim had made an effort to "dress to impress her ex".

She paired it with a pair of furry black trousers and a matching long black coat. Meanwhile, Kanye covered his face with a black mask and opted for a short leather jacket.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Judi said: "Kim's body language here suggests aloof defiance although she also appears to have dressed for a date night in her bondage bandeau top and her black, ankle-length furry coat, creating a sense of some very conflicting intentions. Kanye, meanwhile, has worn his face mask, keeping his emotions, mood and expression hidden, making this a very tense-looking get-together of exes.
"Kim's eye expression looks sad in the close-up photo and her pout involves lips that are parted further than usual, which would suggest some inner tension." Kanye and Kim have had a number of public fallouts after they split when Kim filed for divorce in 2021.

The expert said Kanye's body language told a different story.
"Kanye, by contrast, is still dressed in the look that he wore when he took on the female reporter in the street," she said. "The face mask is probably the opposite to a romantic look or even a conciliatory look as it hides his facial expression totally. Presumably he took it off to eat though, so perhaps the pair got a chance to create a less frosty, over-stylised look once they were inside with the children."
Kanye was the first to leave the restaurant as he walked back to his car flanked by security. According to TMZ, Kim left with North and her pals just minutes later.
As Kanye left the family meal, he was filmed being asked about a recent video of him lashing out at a female reporter. He had a public confrontation with the journalist after he was triggered by a question about whether his wife Bianca has any "free will". During the heated exchange, Kanye even took the reporter's phone. The rapper refused to comment on the heated exchange.
