The incident occurred when Saint, Kardashian's oldest child, and her former spouse, rapper Kanye West, were seen holding hands with Messi as they entered the field for the Inter Miami versus LA Galaxy match in the MLS.
To honor this event, Kardashian, a reality TV star and business tycoon, posted the video on X, previously known as Twitter, expressing her excitement over her son's dream-come-true moment.
