Kim Kardashian and Kanye West 'expecting their fourth child via surrogate'

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are reportedly expecting their fourth child together.

According to US outlets, the couple’s surrogate is pregnant and is due to give birth to the child in “very early may.”

The couple are using the same surrogate who gave birth to their 11-month-old daughter, Chicago, US Weekly claims.

The news site claims the pair have used their last embryo for the pregnancy, which is a boy.

The superstar couple are also already parents to North, five, and Saint, three, who were both born without the aid of a surrogate.

Kim and Kanye turned to surrogacy after Kim suffered health issues in her previous pregnancies including preeclampsia and placenta accreta.

The happy news comes months after Kim admitted her rapper husband wanted to expand their brood.

“Kanye wants to have more. He’s been harassing me. He wants like seven. He’s like stuck on seven,” she revealed on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. “[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.”

But Kim previously revealed her dream is to have four children, telling E! News: “I don’t think I could handle more than that.”
