Revealed: The woman carrying Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s baby

NEWS broke earlier this week that Kimye had enlisted a surrogate to help them add to their brood. Now, TMZ claim to know who she is.

KIM Kardashian and Kanye West’s surrogate has been revealed as an African-American woman in her twenties who has been married for five years.

According to TMZ the woman, who is reportedly carrying the couple’s third child, is a college graduate with two children of her own, The Sun reports.

The website also reports that the surrogate is in ‘great physical shape’ and that her marriage is ‘solid’.

It also claims that she is a registered Democrat — which no doubt went down very well with Kardashian, who recently blasted Republican President Donald Trump.

Her rep declined to comment when contacted.

Yesterday it was revealed that the famous couple, who are already parents to North, four, and Saint, one, will be welcoming a baby girl in January after hiring the surrogate.

According to TMZ, the pair decided to have a third baby via surrogacy because of Kardashian’s well-documented medical issues during her previous pregnancies.

Another source told People: “The entire family is over the moon.

“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.”

Neither Kardashian nor West have confirmed the news but it’s not the first time they’ve been at the centre of speculation a third child is on the way.

Reports of a surrogate surfaced in July, with Us Weekly claiming their chosen surrogate was already three months pregnant.

An insider alleged at the time that the woman was approached by the famous couple through “an agency”.

Claims of a surrogate child being on the way come after Kardashian revealed she suffers from a condition that means she is unable to carry any more children.

In an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians aired last year, the reality star was warned she could “bleed to death” if she falls pregnant for a third time.

Kardashian sought her doctor’s advice after admitting she wanted a third child, but fearing the same complications she endured in past pregnancies would return.

Doctor Crane warned her against it and said there is a “potential fear” for her after she suffered from toxaemia — toxins in the blood from infection — and had two “very traumatic” labours with North and Saint.

He said: “Here’s what I think, your pregnancies, you had toxaemia, you had a retained placenta, very traumatic, we’re always worried about the next serious complication. I think the potential fear of the whole situation is legitimate.

“You never know that you might not have the same type of problem that might be more serious this time. You’re always taking a little bit of a chance. There are situations where retained placenta could be life and death.”

Her mother Kris Jenner, 61, then said: “You could bleed to death.”

Kardashian confirmed last month that she and her husband were hopeful of another child, but kept tight-lipped about details or timing.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter about the possibility of a third child, she said: “I hope so. There have been a lot of things said and Kanye and I have not confirmed anything. We’re definitely trying. We are hoping so.”

Kardashian has spoken in the past about exploring surrogacy — and even said she’d asked sisters Kourtney and Khloe if they would be willing to carry her child.

Speaking during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, she explained: “I have had to go through multiple things to try and do it on my own but I do not think that is looking good for me but I am not giving up.

“So it is a process. You kind of see the whole thing on this next season of our show ... of me begging Khloe to help out, but I do not want to do that to her.

“My mom offered, Kourtney offered.”

Kardashian’s troubles began when she was pregnant with her first child North, after doctors discovered she had a high-risk condition called placenta accreta.

The rare condition occurs when the placenta attaches too deep into the uterine wall and is life-threatening because the sufferer can lose an average of three to five litres of blood during delivery.
