It’s official: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are having a third baby!
As Billboard reported back in June, Kardashian and West were supposedly on the hunt for a surrogate for their third child. Now, People reports that the surrogate they hired to carry their third child is pregnant, with TMZ citing January 2018 as the due date.
According to People, their source says “the entire family is over the moon. Kim had been looking for a surrogate for months until recently when she found the perfect candidate.”
“Given her health scares in the past, Kim felt the need to hire a surrogacy agency that helped serve as the liaison in finding a healthy woman who would be a great surrogate option for her and Kanye. Both of them have been super involved in the process,” the source says. “They want everything to be perfect and for the baby to be extremely healthy. They don’t want any complications and Kim is providing an ideal eating regimen and diet so everyone knows what the baby is consuming before it’s born.”
Billboard has reached out to Kim and Kanye’s reps for comment.
