Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s surrogate spotted first time
Reality queen, Kim Kardashian and her 21 Grammy award winning husband Kanye West’s surrogate, has been pictured for the first time.
According to MailOnline, Kim confirmed the news that she and Kanye are having a third child through an unidentified surrogate, on Thursday night.
The reality TV couple were said to have paid the surrogate an estimated $75,000 in June to carry a sibling (due in late January) for their daughter North, four, and son Saint, 21 months.
Pictured in September, this is the first sighting of the expectant African-American 27-year-old following Kim’s confirmation that they are having a third child.
The secret surrogate wore a white T-shirt over her five-month bump, cuffed blue jeans, and black sandals, while strolling through a playground in September.
‘She’ll also receive a $4,500 monthly “discomfort” allowance; if she gives birth by cesarean, she’ll earn a $2,000 bonus and she’ll receive a $5,000 bonus if she has twins,’ an insider told Radar Online.
‘Kim liked her immediately and Kanye thought she looked a little like Kim, which no doubt helped her get selected.’
The stay-at-home San Diego woman was previously paid to be a surrogate in 2014, and it didn’t hurt that she’s a big fan of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
‘She’s watched all of the shows, and Kim’s vanity was touched when she found out,’ a source added.
Also, TMZ recently reported that the surrogate, a registered Democrat and college graduate has two sons of her own with her husband of five years, and their marriage is ‘solid.’
The 36-year-old mother-of-two confirmed the baby news Thursday by sharing a preview for the 14th season of her E! series airing Sundays on cable TV, with her 188.1million social media followers.
Kim, a devout Atkins dieter who finally whittled her surgically enhanced 5ft3in figure down to 115lbs, cannot carry anymore children due to complications from pre-eclampsia.
It comes amid mounting speculation that her 33-year-old sisters, Khloé, as well as her 20-year-old half-sister Kylie Jenner are pregnant from NBA basketball player Tristan Thompson and Grammy-nominated rapper Travis Scott, respectively.
They are both reportedly due in February; one month after Kim’s surrogate will give birth to a daughter, if sources are to be believed.
The most famous, wealthy and entrepreneurial of her siblings, Kim has a net worth of about $175 million.
Over the last year, Kim made $45.5 million, making her the 47th richest celebrity on the Forbes list of the 100 highest-earning celebrities in 2016.
Kim was robbed at gunpoint in her hotel in Paris, during Fashion Week in October 2016.
The robbers stole nearly $9 million worth of jewelry including a $4 million diamond engagement ring from Kanye.
Known for her frequent use of social media, Kim kept a low profile in the months after the traumatic event and has since recounted the robbery in detail on the family’s show.
