Kim Kardashian and Kanye West posed nude on the cover of French fashion magazine L’Officiel Hommes.
Kim Kardashian, 32, was caught in an expression sure to make her daughter blush as Kanye West reveals his bare back, wrapping his arms around her.
The black and white image features on the spring issue of the men’s magazine, shot by Nick Knight.
Its release comes just days after Kim Kardashian was forced to shut down rumors she is planning her exit from Keeping Up with the Kardashians after season nine.
It had been suggested that Kim Kardashian may want to leave the show following the birth of her first child with Kanye West, after claiming her baby will not appear on television.

Kim Kardashian told DuJour magazine: “I think there’s always an evolution of, you know, what you want to do in life. It’s all about finding things that really excite you and motivate you and spark you all over again.
“I’m realizing that no matter what, if you go into something with all these expectations and plans, once you’re actually living it, it could be completely different.”
Kim Kardashian also told the publication that rapper Kanye West has taught her “a lot about privacy”, and after his own reluctance to appear in the series, perhaps it wouldn’t be a surprise if she did decide to bid farewell to the Kardashian bubble.
“I’m ready to be a little less open about some things, like my relationships,” Kim Kardashian added.
“I’m realizing everyone doesn’t need to know everything. I’m shifting my priorities.”
Yves Saint Laurent has launched a limited edition Facebook-inspired eyeshadow palette on July 19.
Popular culture often inspires beauty collaborations; Betty Boop for Lancôme and Miss Piggy for MAC are just some recent examples.
Now, as a “declaration of love” to its fans, YSL Fragrances & Beauty has gone one step further. Inspired by Facebook as a whole, the French brand has designed a palette which includes the “now highly identifiable Facebook blue with the luxurious Yves Saint Laurent design”.
The palette includes four shades inspired by Facebook: royal blue, violet, white and black.

According to Kiss and Makeup, only 1,650 of the Pure Chromatics Devoted To Fans palettes were produced, which will be available on the brand’s Facebook page as well in U.S. stores at $60.
And any Facebook fan who buys the new palette will receive special “privileges”, such as exclusive information, perks and services through YSL Facebook feed and in store.
Damien Vincent, commercial director of Facebook France, emphasized the significance of the launch, saying: “We are honored that a prestigious brand such as Yves Saint Laurent resumes Facebook color codes to launch a unique product destined for his fans.”
The new digital marketing strategy comes amid reports that the French fashion house will introduce new branding in the coming months, most likely to coincide with Hedi Slimane’s first designs for the label’s Spring 2013 collection.
Yves Saint Laurent is reportedly dropping the Yves from its name, changing the iconic label to simply, Saint Laurent Paris.
However, it is expected that the YSL logo, which has long been one of the most well-recognized symbols of French luxury, will remain.
