While she was with North, Rousteing, and her mother Kris Jenner, Kardashian shared an intimate anecdote involving Rousteing and an iconic Balmain gown that he designed for her.

"Northie, I've known Olivier since before you were a baby, and he gave Daddy this blue dress that Daddy wanted for me," Kardashian told North between bites of french fries and sips of Coca-Cola. "It was my birthday, the year before you were born, and I wore the dress, and I got pregnant and you got in my belly the night I wore that dress."
