Kim and husband Kanye West are expecting a baby boy, who will join older siblings North, Saint and Chicago. The family also welcomed Chicago via surrogate after doctors advised Kim not to carry more children due to the high-risk pregnancies she went through with her first two kids.
Fans has first speculated that the couple’s son had arrived on Monday after Kim shared a tweet from her husband that read, “This is your life, married with four kids.” Kim responded to the rumors on Twitter, noting that if her son was arriving, she would be at the hospital.
Wait just saw news our baby boy came but thatโs not true! Itโs Met Monday, Iโm in NYC. I would be at the hospital lol
