Kim Kardashian shared a "knowing smile" with Tristan Thompson as they enjoyed a night out together after he cheated on Khloe Kardashian.
The pair were spotted on their way to a nightclub on Saturday after enjoying a meal together at a restaurant. They also hung out as part of a group as they watched a football match between Inter Miami CF and Cruz Azul.
Their outing comes amid rumours Khloe has forgiven her ex-boyfriend and rekindled their romance, despite him fathering a child with another woman behind her back.
Body language expert Judi James has said Kim and Tristan's night out is a "significant move".

The night out was a 'royal seal of approval' from Kim (MEGA)Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, she said: "Is Kim acting as a human chastity belt for her sister’s 'ex' Tristan, keeping him close to avoid any more cheating scandals or is it tea-cosy behaviour, aimed at showing some form of Kardashian ongoing warmth and forgiveness for Tristan prior to easing him back into Khloe's arms?

"Either way her body language did suggest this was a significant move. Tristan was clearly part of her entourage here and the pair did seem to be using mirroring rituals, i.e. wearing the same rather knowing smile despite walking apart."
Kim was pictured walking slightly ahead of Tristan, with the SKIMS founder turning to smile at him.

The former couple share two children together (Instagram)Judi told us: "Kim walked ahead to suggest she's in charge here but Tristan looked happy enough following in her wake and when they arrived there seemed to be a very significantly performed moment when Kim turned around to look for and fall back with Tristan, even appearing to whisper something in his ear in the kind of intimacy ritual that would normally signal friend/family closeness.
"If this is some kind of 'royal' seal of approval for Tristan it does look more meaningful than just a polite gesture to the father of Kim's niece and nephew.
"Plus Kim is single right now and if there is no chance of a re-kindling of the Khloe-Tristan romance then surely tongues would begin to wag as to why she was letting him tag along. If Kim is having to keep an eye on Tristan to avoid any roving eye episodes though it might not bode well for Khloe-Tristan the sequel."
Khloe and Tristan went their separate ways last year when Tristan was found to have fathered a child with another woman before the arrival of his second child with Khloe via surrogate.
However, their relationship appears to be on the mend, with Tristan moving closer to his ex-girlfriend. Khloe has even admitted she has "forgiven Tristan.
Speaking in her family's Hulu show, the Good American founder said: "I gotta let that s**t go."
