Kim and Kanye West's Surrogate is 'pregnant with a baby boy'

Kim and Kanye are reportedly expanding the family with a fourth baby via a surrogate and it's a boy.

According to US Weekly, Kim, 38, and Kanye, 41, used the same surrogate who carried their daughter Chicago - who was born eleven months ago, on January 15.

The site reports that the couple had one more fertilised embryo left and the baby boy is due in May.

Kim and Kanye are also parents to and North, 5 and Saint, three, who were born without the aid of a surrogate.

MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Kanye West and Kim Kardashian for comment. 

In an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians last October, Kim was seen talking to her friend, Larsa Pippen, about her future family plans.

She said: 'Kanye wants to have more. He's been harassing me. He wants like seven. He's like stuck on seven.'

She added she was reluctant, pointing out: '[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.'

Kim previously revealed her dream is to have four children, telling E! News last year: 'I don't think I could handle more than that.' 

Speaking to ELLE in May 2018, Kim gushed about her first experience of surrogacy, explaining: 'The control is hard at the beginning. Once you let that go, it's the best experience. I would recommend surrogacy for anybody.'
