North West and cousin Penelope Disick hung out in Malibu on Thursday, and the girls were joined by their nannies -- not their famous parents. Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick were probably either busy loving it up or starting a fight, and we're not sure WHAT Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were up to. But clearly there was something going on, because why else would Nori leave the home without them?

After returning home to Kim and the kids earlier this week, Kanye left the family's Bel Air middle of the night on Wednesday, surrounded by security in an SUV. A source told X17online exclusively, "Kanye's got to fix himself. He went away to give Kim some space but he's hoping to save his marriage. At this point, Kim is tired of dealing with his issues and he doesn't want Kanye around the kids." There have been rumblings that she wants a divorce, but it also seems like they're doing as much as possible to figure things out. Then again, if Kanye peaced out last night, who knows!

Kanye was spotted out later in the day, but it's not clear where he's currently staying...
