Watch: Why Kim Kardashian & Kanye "Ye" West's Divorce is STALLED

Kanye "Ye" West may be in the midst of a drama-filled divorce from ex Kim Kardashian, but Kendall Jenner still seems to be staying close to her brother-in law.

Ye and Kendall were spotted out at the Los Angeles hotspot The NICE Guy on Monday, Feb. 7, along with several other A-listers, as seen in photos obtained by E! News.

The rapper, 44, and supermodel, 26, were spotted enjoying a Sunny Vodka party at The NICE Guy soon after Ye reportedly hosted a listening party for his upcoming album, Donda 2, at Nobu in Malibu.

A source who was at the event told E! News that the pair arrived together, adding, "It seemed like Kendall and Kanye are on great terms." 

Kendall was seen chatting with both Ye and Travis Scott, who recently welcomed his second child with Kylie Jenner, for "a while" in a "corner of the venue," per the insider.

The source also shared, "Kanye had a whole group surrounding him and everyone was engaging and listening to him talk. He was chatting about how Donda 2 is his best work yet."

At the bash, Kendall showed off her enviable abs wearing a cropped black graphic tee and brown low-rise pants styled with pointed-toe pumps and black shoulder bag. Per the source, Kendall had a few friends with her for the lively outing.

A separate eyewitness told E! News that Kenny and Ye left through separate exits at the end of the night: "He went out the back and she went out the front. They left about two minutes apart from one another."

Earlier in the evening, Ye had reportedly invited several friends to his private listening party, including Travis, Drake, Kendall's BFF Hailey Bieber and Khloe Kardashian's ex French Montana.

It appears that the group then kept the party going at NICE Guy, where Kendall and Madelyn Cline joined in for the fun. 

However, Ye's music wasn't the only topic of conversation. The Grammy winner was joined by a model who looked similar to his estranged wife. Turning heads, Chaney Jones rocked a black catsuit, Balenciaga handbag, knee-high Balenciaga boots and oversized blue shades—an outfit nearly identical to the one Kim wore back in December at the E! People's Choice Awards.

Noticeably absent from photos of the soirée was Ye's girlfriend and "new muse" Julia Fox. But in spite of recent breakup rumors, the Uncut Gems actress, 32, took to social media earlier this week to clarify the two are very much still together.

Kendall's hangout with Ye may come as a surprise to many, because her sister Kim, 41, and the Grammy winner continue to be tangled in divorce proceedings. After filing papers to end their six-year marriage nearly a year ago, Kim, who has been publicly dating Pete Davidson since November, is still fighting to move on.

"Kim is still trying to get the 'married' status dissolved to 'single' before they finalize the divorce, but Ye has yet to sign," a separate source close to the situation told E! News earlier this week, referencing a filing Kim submitted in December. "Moving this divorce along isn't something he's acting quickly on, despite Kim's efforts."

The former couple, who share four children, are also engaged in a public disagreement over the TikTok activity of their eldest child North West, 8.

"Kanye's constant attacks on me in interviews and on social media is actually more hurtful than any TikTok North might create," she wrote on her Instagram Stories on Feb. 4. "As the parent who is the main provider and caregiver for our children, I am doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision — because it brings her happiness."
