Kim Kardashian, Kanye West welcome third child

Renowned American rapper, Kanye West, and his socialite wife, Kim Kardashian, welcomed their third child through surrogacy.

The showbiz couple used a surrogate for their child because Kardashian has placenta accreta, a dangerous condition that created serious complications during the birth of Saint, her second child.

According to reports, the baby girl, was born on Monday.

Kanye’s wife, Kim publicized the birth of the baby in a statement released on Tuesday.

“Kanye and I are happy to announce the arrival of our healthy, beautiful baby girl,” she wrote.

“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.”

In late September, the reality star confirmed the exciting news that she and her husband were expecting their third child during a phone call with Khloe Kardashian.

Kim had previously documented her struggles to conceive a third child on the hit show Keeping Up With the Kardashians including undergoing several procedures in an effort to get pregnant.

Kim and Kanye reportedly agreed to pay the surrogate $45,000 in monthly installments of $4,500.
