Are Kim Kardashian and Kanye West preparing to welcome another little one into their family?

If reports are anything to go by, we are indeed about to be blessed with another Kardashian-West baby!

US Weekly have alleged that congratulations are in order, claiming the couple are expecting their fourth baby via surrogate - a baby boy!

A 'source' reportedly told the magazine that Kimye's baby is due "in very early May," with another 'insider' stating that Kim has "always wanted four kids." According to the same report, the celebrity couple only had one more fertilised embryo left and decided to use it.

As it stands, there are no further details and neither Kim, nor her rapper husband, has confirmed the news.

The famous pair already has three children together: five-year-old North, three-year-old Saint, and baby Chicago.

Their youngest child was born on January 15, 2018, via surrogate, something that Kim choose after suffering from placenta accreta and preeclampsia during her previous two deliveries.

However, watching another woman carry her child wasn't easy for the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star.

After the birth, the 38-year-old took to her website to share what it was like to use a gestational carrier, naming it "so hard".

"Having a gestational carrier is definitely different, but anyone who says or thinks it’s the easy way out is completely wrong," she wrote. "People assume it’s better because you don’t have to deal with the physical changes, pain or complications with delivery, but for me it was so hard to not carry my own child, especially after I carried North and Saint."

She continued: "There are so many reasons why a couple might need a gestational carrier or a surrogate. I'm so grateful for modern technology and that this is even possible. It’s not for everyone, but I absolutely love my gestational carrier and this was the best experience I've ever had.

"Our gestational carrier gave us the greatest gift one could give. The feeling at the end of the whole process is so rewarding. The connection with our baby came instantly and it's as if she was with us the whole time. Having a gestational carrier was so special for us and she made our dreams of expanding our family come true. We are so excited to finally welcome home our baby girl."

In an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians last October, Kim was also seen talking to her friend, Larsa Pippen, about her future family plans, saying: "Kanye wants to have more. He's been harassing me. He wants like seven. He's like stuck on seven."

She confessed she was reluctant to follow through with this plan though, saying: "[Seven kids is] crazy. I could never, especially in like the world we live in. I've been kinda hesitant about having more kids because it literally keeps me up at night, thinking about how my kids will survive in a crazy world like this."

So, are congratulations in order...? Watch this space.

By now, you've probably heard the news: Kylie Jenner's pregnant, you guys! The 10th season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians is now just hours away, and we've got a great bombshell to go with that milestone in pop culture. Kylie Jenner is only 20 years old, and she's only been seeing Travis Scott for a few months, but she's set to welcome another baby into the Kardashian clan. Of course, Kylie isn't the only one expecting a baby in that particular household; Kim Kardashian, perhaps the most prominent member of all the Kardashians, is married (of course) to the rapper Kanye West. Having already had daughter North and son Saint West, their third baby is set to arrive early next year. So, if your counting skills are up to the task (and I sincerely hope they are), you'll note that that's two babies we're set to see in the Kardashian household. Right? Right? This Twitter theory, however, says that the answer is very different, and that we can expect one new baby to fawn over over the coming months and years. Let's, for a second, turn our focus away from Kylie and Travis Scott, and instead talk about Kim and Kanye's third child in the works. After some complications in the birth of Saint West, Kim Kardashian announced she would be having baby number three via a surrogate, but she kept absolutely everything else under wraps. "There have been a lot of things said and Kanye and I have not confirmed anything. We're definitely trying [to have a baby via surrogate]. We are hoping so." We don't know who the surrogate is, but we know to expect this new tot in January 2018. According to sources close to Kylie Jenner, she's been pregnant for a little while, and will have her baby in February 2018. Coincidence? Probably. But a completely bonkers theory says that Kylie Jenner, in fact, is the surrogate for her half-sister. Wait, what? Let that sink in for a second. Kylie Jenner broke up with Tyga earlier this year, citing her age as a reason not to get too serious. It seems kind of hypocritical, then, to have a baby with Travis Scott, but it would make more sense if Travis wasn't the father, and that Kylie wasn't planning on being a mother for any time soon. It's crazy, I know. But that hasn't stopped Twitter from latching onto it like a snapping turtle onto an outstretched finger.

Of course, this theory only really holds water if we don't know the identity of the surrogate mother, but we do; apparently, she's a black woman in her 20s with two children already. Let's curb our collective enthusiasm, here. But what if that was a red herring, throwing us off the trail for the insane plot twist later next year? Let's hope we find out closer to the due date. Congrats Kim, Kanye and Kylie either way.  

Celebrity births are always such major news. It's like a holdover effect of royalty, where pop culture icons are expected to maintain meaningful family lines, and descendants to carry forth the tabloids - whether or not these children will grow into fame seekers is another question entirely. Babies North and Saint West will have a third sibling soon. According to a source close to the family, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are planning on using a surrogate to have their third child, who will be due in January 2018. “Kim had been looking for a surrogate for months until recently when she found the perfect candidate,” said the source to People magazine. “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.” Kim also seems to have confirmed the rumors on Instagram, pointing out that she is not pregnant - but the plot twist is that a surrogate likely is. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BYoUnm_lOWo/?hl=en]] “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.” The extremely wealthy and powerful couple, who met long ago on a photoshoot where Kanye immediately fell in love with her, seem poised to have an excellent surrogate birth. Given the stress of the past year, including Kim being robbed at gunpoint in Paris and Kanye having a mental breakdown, it seems fitting that a surrogate is a safe and stress‑free option. Kanye will also likely have a new album in 2018, paving the way for another personal renaissance for the man who redefined rap music with the classic College Dropout, changing the landscape of sound, personality and bars in the game forever. Kanye is one of the few artists who does something entirely new for every single project, and after 2016's fractured Life of Pablo, no one but Kanye knows where he's going next. Kim Kardashian, meanwhile, continues to participate in photoshoots, including some much‑maligned ones recently, where she was mocked for climbing up a tree naked in an awkward pose. Of course, Kanye is also not free from controversy, given his late-2016 endorsement of Donald Trump, and meeting with the man himself in Trump Tower. A black man endorsing Donald Trump is seen as some kind of 'sunken place', but the grim prospects of the 2016 election didn't leave much room for choice. After all, if you tell people that they have to pick the lesser of two evils, sooner or later, people start picking evil. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BXst9pBlfgn/?hl=en]] Kim and Kanye, married back in spring 2014, seem destined to stay together. It's a rare thing for such a high‑profile celebrity marriage, and rarer still for such unpredictable figures like Kanye West and especially Kardashian, who divorced Kris Humphries within a few weeks of their marriage. North and Saint, along with their parents, are sure to have a lot to contend with in their unique and bizarre life.

Kim Kardashian might well be one of the most famous people in the world, but that doesn't mean that she isn't a great parent. As anyone who follows her on social media will tell you, Kim absolutely loves being a mom, and regularly uploads snaps of herself and her kids, North, Saint and Chicago.

However, Kim has now shocked her fans by announcing some wonderful news: Kanye and Kim are expecting a fourth baby together. Not only that, but they seem to have already picked a name for the child.

In a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Kim confirmed the couple were expecting a boy via a surrogate mother, adding that she'd let the cat out of the bag over the Christmas period while under the influence.

She stated: "I got drunk at our Christmas Eve party and told some people. I can't remember who I told because I never get drunk," before adding that the due date would be "sometime soon."

A source close to the couple has allegedly told E! News: "The surrogate is well into the pregnancy. She is due in May and everything looks good. Kim and Kanye have known for a while and are very excited. They had one male embryo left and are thrilled it has worked out. Kim always wanted four kids and having two boys and two girls feels perfect."

Kim gave birth to her daughter North West, on June 15, 2013, and her son Saint West, on December 5, 2015, but decided to use a surrogate for her third child, Chicago West, after both pregnancies proved to be difficult ordeals.

While pregnant with North she suffered from preeclampsia, a disease which causes high blood pressure which can lead to a low blood platelet count, impaired liver function, kidney dysfunction, swelling, and shortness of breath.

As a result of this, Kim was forced to deliver North after 34 weeks, and also suffered from placenta accreta after delivery, which caused heavy bleeding. She had to have surgery to remove the placenta and subsequent scar tissue as a result. Following this, doctors apparently advised her not to become pregnant again; the couple's third child was born via surrogate on January 15, 2018.

In the same interview, Kim also opened up about her well-publicized feuds with Taylor Swift and Drake. She revealed that she and Tay-tay have more or less buried the hatchet over the whole lyrics scandal, but also mentioned that she's still antagonistic towards Drake, especially after Kanye claimed that Drake threatened his family.

Perhaps they'll be able to kiss and make-up in the new year, but somehow I don't think so. Here's a little lesson for you Drake: don't mess with a momma bear.

In case you weren't aware already, Kim Kardashian is having another baby! However, rather than carrying the child herself, the reality star has opted to have a surrogate deliver the baby due to the complications she experienced during her previous two births. During her first pregnancy with North, the makeup mogul suffered from preeclampsia - a condition which gives the expectant mother high blood pressure and severe headaches. She also struggled with placenta accreta -  a condition in which the placenta grows too deeply into the mother’s uterus, becoming inseparable from the uterine wall. After birth, when the placenta is supposed to be expelled from the uterus, it fails to detach - something which can be hugely scary for the mother. Kim's experiences with the conditions led to her and Kanye deciding that they should get a surrogate to deliver their third child. However, despite Kim claiming that she has a good relationship with the anonymous surrogate, she decided to not invite her to her cherry-blossom-filled baby shower which happened over the weekend. "I did not", said Kardashian, when asked if she had invited the surrogate to the party. "I introduced her to my family earlier that day, and I just thought … I don’t know, it was a weird decision to have to make." She continued, "Of course I would have wanted her to be there, and be a part of it, but I hadn’t really gone that far in explaining it to my kids yet." Kardashian already has two children with her rapper husband, daughter North, 4, and son Saint, 2, and she feels like the children aren't prepared to understand the role of the surrogate just yet.

While surrogacy can remain anonymous, Kim said that she wanted to meet the surrogate in order to make sure that she was comfortable with the situation. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BbR7fByFYAB/?hl=en&taken-by=kimkardashian]] “What if they weren’t a fan of me or my husband?” she said. “What if they didn’t want to be carrying our baby? I wanted to give them that choice.” Despite her worries, Kim revealed that she instantly hit it off with the surrogate, who she says was "really excited" to be carrying her child. “I love her. I have the best relationship with my surrogate. She’s so nice,” Kardashian added. “She’s the perfect person to do this for my family.” Kardashian had previously described pregnancy as "the worst experience of my life" however she says that surrogacy is "so much harder" than conceiving naturally.

“Anyone that says or thinks (surrogacy) is just the easy way out is just completely wrong,” she recently told Entertainment Tonight. “Obviously you pick someone that you completely trust and that you have a good bond and relationship with, but it is still ... knowing that I was able to carry my first two babies and not, you know, my baby now, it’s hard for me. So, it’s definitely a harder experience than I anticipated just in the control area.” Whatever you think about Kim Kardashian, she is very open and honest in her interviews and that should be applauded. Hopefully, the baby is delivered without any complications, and with the revelation that it's going to be a girl, we should have a new generation of Kardashians to steal the limelight very soon.
