Kim Kardashian is a lot of things besides being a mother. A businesswoman, actress, model, socialite, and lawyer in training, the 42-year-old has achieved a lot. Yet the thing that brings her the most fulfillment has always been motherhood. The beauty mogul’s children with Kanye West are supported by their mother in everything. Especially her son, who has a special place in his heart for soccer. So when Lionel Messi was to play in Florida, there was no way she and her son were going to sit it out.

The SKIMS founder’s second child, Saint West, is known to be an avid soccer fan. From playing the game to following it religiously, the 7-year-old likes to do it all. And Kardashian has chaperoned him all around the world to satisfy his thirst for live games. As Lionel Messi made his American debut with Inter Miami, the 7-year-old paid tribute to him in the best way possible.
