Kim Kardashianis taking a trip down memory lane.
TheKeeping Up with the Kardashiansstar recalled one of her earliest memories with husband Kanye West and his late mother, Donda West, in a sweet tweet Wednesday night.
Responding to a fan who shared a throwback photo of Kardashian West, 38, in a pink velour sweatsuit and said that they’d “love to see Kim bring back Juicy Couture sweatsuits and that LV multicolor bag,” the mother of three opened up about some behind-the-scenes moments from the day the paparazzi image was captured on Sept. 5, 2007.

“I didn’t really know him but his people called my people lol & I was a girl in the audience at the live performance in Vegas,” she continued.
That same evening, the reality star met Donda, who suddenlydiedtwo months later — in November 2007 — at age 58 ofheart diseasewhile suffering “multiple post-operative factors” after plastic surgery.
“I met his mom Donda this same night,” she wrote alongside pink heart emojis.
While the KKW Beauty mogul wasn’t able to get to know Donda deeply before her death, Kanye shared a very close-knit bond with his mother.
Over the years, he haspaid tributeto her in interviews, through his music and on social media. In May 2016, Kanye wrote in a tweet on Mother’s Day, “Found this in Mom’s storage. I love and miss you,” including a picture of his late mother’s gold necklace. He also sent a second tweet soon after, sharing a message from Kardashian West: “Thank you for watching over our family. Nori and Kim say happy Mother’s Day … And Saint smiled.”

Although Kardashian West meeting Donda was a milestone moment for the E! personality, it wasn’t until years later that she began a romantic relationship with longtime friend Kanye.
Kardashian West began dating the rapper back in early 2012 — while still in the process of legally ending her 72-day marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries.
“They have been close friends for years and decided to give it a try [with dating],” a source close to the couplerevealedat the time.
During a December 2012 concert, Kanye announced to fans that he and his then-girlfriend were expecting their first child together, daughter North, whom they welcomed inJune 2013.
Four months after welcoming daughter North, the duo got engaged, tying the knot in 2014 at Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy.
They have since welcomedson Saint, 3, anddaughter Chicago, who turns 1 on Jan. 15.
And this year, the West family will be adding another little bundle of joy into the mix! The superstars are expecting theirfourth child, ason, via surrogate.
