Saint, 8, participated as a player escort – a child who accompanies the soccer football entering the field – during Sunday’s game.
Before LA Galaxy competed against Inter Miami, Kim’s son held hands with Lionel, 36, as they walked onto Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.
The preteen walked out with the other children as they posed with the players and watched the fireworks display in the night sky.
“Saint walking Messi out on the field tonight at the LA Galaxy vs Inter Miami game!” Kim tweeted.
“He is living the absolute dream!”
In an Instagram Story, Saint seemed to be enjoying himself in the brief clip as he had fun with another player escort on the jumbotron.
THE BACKLASH
In an online thread, upset critics slammed the Skims founder for flaunting her wealth to spoil the child.
“I wonder how it feels to have access to stuff like this as a child,” a critic blasted.

“It’s crazy to have access to this as a kid. I can understand why childhood celebs/rich kids grow up and get into drugs because everything feels too accessible at some point,” a second critic ranted.
“I know several grown a** men who would do anything to be in this child’s spot right now,” a third person argued.
“This kid doesn’t need this. Let’s seriously pull back the blinders and think about how inequitable the world is,” a fourth person wrote.
SOCCER FANS
This is not the only time Saint has been to a game and met with sports icons.
The mother/son duo have jetted around the globe to attend professional soccer games together.
In July 2023, the pair visited Florida to watch Lionel’s Inter Miami debut.
The former E! star went for a casual look at the game while Saint wore Messi’s Inter Miami jersey.
Kim donned a cropped white T-shirt and jeans with a thin pink belt tied around her hips.
The two were spotted with Khloe Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson, 32, at the star-studded game.
Kim also chatted with David Beckham, 48, and his wife, Victoria Beckham, 49, throughout the game.
In addition to Saint, Kim and her ex-husband, Kanye West, 46 – now married to Bianca Censori – share three other children: North, 10; Chicago, 6; and Psalm, 4.
