North West, the eldest daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, officially made her solo debut on Instagram.
When West’s newly created account on Instagram appeared on Friday, December 19, 2025, it did not escape the attention of eagle-eyed users.
North West, 12, makes her debut post on Instagram, under parental supervision, sparking buzz about her viral joint TikTok account with the handle @Kim & North.
At the age of 12, North’s sudden access to the platform has sparked the internet.
Much of the buzz centers less on her famous parents and more on the perennial debate over whether teenagers her age should be on social media at all.
