While not addressing the divorce, Kim did return to social media on Monday to wish her late father Robert Kardashian a happy birthday.

‘Happy Birthday Dad!’ began the KKW mogul who has fragrance and beauty lines as well as SKIMS.

‘I celebrate you every single day but today even more. So much to tell you! I called your cell phone number just wondering if anyone would pick up after all these years.’
Kim then said: ‘I actually can’t believe I remembered it. Please come visit me in a dream soon.’
And she asked for a sign: ‘Also can you pretty please send down a sign in the form of those symbols/birds we always talked about?!?! I just miss you sooooo much!’
Kim seems to be missing her father even more these days as she has been left a single mom after filing for divorce from rapper West after months of conflict.
