Kim Kardashian and Kanye West ‘were in the delivery room for birth of their third child’ as surrogate gives them a daughter
KIM Kardashian and Kanye West were present at the birth of their third child, after a surrogate delivered a daughter for the couple.
Sources have told that the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, 37, and rapper, 40, witnessed the arrival of their newborn at a hospital in LA in the early hours of Monday.
The site reported that the couple - who are already parents to North, 4, and Saint, 2 - were in the hospital delivery room when their second daughter was delivered at 12.47am by Dr Paul Crane.
He is the Kardashian family's trusted doctor, and has also brought Kim's other two children, as well as the offspring of her siblings Kourtney and Rob, into the world.
Kim is said to have been in the delivery room when the surrogate - who has remained anonymous - went into labour, and the new mother was also there when the baby was born and was the first person to have skin-to-skin contact with the child.
Her husband Kanye was also in the same room throughout, but behind a curtain until after his little girl arrived, at the exclusive Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Also in attendance at the hospital outside the delivery room, were Kim's mum Kris Jenner and her sisters.
Sources told TMZ that the surrogate was able to have a small amount of contact with the child, who weighed 7lbs 6oz and was born without complications.
The newest member of the Kardashian family is yet to be given a name by her famous parents.
Her arrival was confirmed by the couple in an announcement on Kim's app.
Kim wrote in a sweet post: "She's here! We're so in love."
“Kanye and I are happy to announce the arrival of our healthy, beautiful baby girl.
“We are incredibly grateful to our surrogate who made our dreams come true with the greatest gift one could give and to our wonderful doctors and nurses for their special care.
“North and Saint are especially thrilled to welcome their baby sister.”
Since the birth there has been bizarre speculation by fans that Kim's sister Kylie Jenner was the surrogate.
Just days ago Kylie, 20, was rumoured to be in labour herself, although TMZ was quick to report that this was not the case.
However, fans believe it's too much of a coincidence and that the Jenner was actually was the one carrying her sister's child.
