Saint West is living the dream.

The oldest son of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, spent his Sunday night with none other than Lionel Messi as he walked hand-in-hand with the soccer legend ahead of Inter Miami’s game against the LA Galaxy.

In a video posted by Inter Miami — the soccer team founded by David Beckham — Saint can be seen walking with Messi, 36, as both teams walk onto the field ahead of the game. The 8-year-old was dressed in an LA Galaxy kit while he held Messi’s hand, and the Argentinian player looked down fondly at him as they made their first steps onto the field.

“Ready for Game 2️⃣ 😤,” the team captioned the video on Instagram, which Kardashian reposted on her Instagram Story, writing, “Saint walking out with @lionelmessi !!!! ⚽.”

She also shared the video in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “Saint walking Messi out on the field tonight at the La Galaxy vs Inter Miami game!!!” the Skims founder wrote alongside the video. “He is living the absolute dream!”

Sunday’s game was not the first time Saint got up close and personal with Messi, who joined Inter Miami in 2023. He was also in attendance at the forward’s MLS debut, which he attended alongside Kardashian and a friend.

She shared a sweet video of her son on her Instagram Story after the game as the boys chanted Messi’s name and awaited his exit from the field. He stopped to take a photo with Saint’s friend and Saint, and Kardashian captioned the video, “Best day of their entire lives.”

In another video, the boys were screaming and jumping up and down in excitement after meeting the PSG alum.

Messi’s debut in Miami was a star-studded affair last year, with Lebron James and Serena Williams also in attendance, along with David and Victoria Beckham.

An aspiring soccer player himself, Saint has had the opportunity to meet many of his idols over the last few years, thanks to The Kardashians star.

In July, he and a friend got to meet Cristiano Ronaldo in Japan, and Kardashian shared a cute video of her son and Ronaldo, 39, creating a secret handshake.

Months earlier, she’d brought Saint and his friends to Paris for a once-in-a-lifetime experience as all of the kids got to meet Kylian Mbappé after watching a Paris Saint Germain game. They later met Neymar Jr. over FaceTime, and the Skims founder shared a photo of the boys huddling over a phone, writing, “The luckiest boys in the world FaceTiming @neymarjr to wish him a speedy recovery.”

She also shared a photo of Saint and his friends embracing her, writing over it, “It’s safe to say the boys loved our soccer tour trip! Soccer moms for the win!”
