Kim Kardashian Welcomes Third Child Via Surrogate.

Kim Kardashian and her husband, Kanye West, on Tuesday announced the birth of their 3rd child who was born via a surrogate.

Kim and Kanye got married in May 2014, and already have two children: daughter North, 4, and 2-year-old son Saint.

Kim Kardashian firstly wrote in a post on her website which she then shared with her 58.3 million Twitter followers.

In a brief message, she wrote that their “healthy, beautiful” daughter was born Monday at 12:47 AM local time, weighing 7.6 pounds (3.3 kilograms). The baby girl’s name was not announced.


“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,” said Kardashian.

“North and Saint are especially thrilled to welcome their baby sister,” she added.

The couple chose to use a surrogate as Kardashian suffered from placenta accreta — a serious condition where the placenta becomes too deeply attached to the wall of the uterus — during her second pregnancy, making a third pregnancy too risky.
