There’s another baby on the way for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West!
According to reports, the star couple will be welcoming their third child together, a girl, via surrogate at the end of January 2018, joining big sister North, 4, and Saint, 21 months.
“The entire family is over the moon. Kim had been looking for a surrogate for months until recently when she found the perfect candidate,” a source told People.
Kim and Kanye have reportedly paid $45,000 for the surrogate, according to TMZ, who claim the surrogate is avoiding smoking, drinking or doing drugs while pregnant. She is said to be doing well thus far.
The couple are said to be expecting their third child in January.
North and Saint are set to get a new sibling!
Meanwhile, Entertainment Online quotes a source who says the couple are committed to keeping the identity of their surrogate private.
“They are going to make sure she has her privacy and whatever she needs,” the source revealed.
“Kim and Kanye wouldn’t make any wild demands – they just want a healthy pregnancy.”
Kim has previously been open about the struggles she faced with preeclampsia (which causes high blood pressure) and placenta accreta (when the placenta becomes over-attached to the walls of the uterus) during her first two pregnancies with North and Saint.
The star detailed her struggles in an episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians, as doctors warned her of the serious risks she faced in carrying another baby.
“You never know if you might have the same type of problem that could be more serious this time,” her doctor warned her.
“You’re always taking a little bit of a chance. There are situations where retained placenta could be life or death.”
At the time, Kim also consulted a fertility specialist for a second opinion, who told her using a surrogate would not be “an unreasonable option” for her.
