Reality star Kim Kardashian and
her rapper husband Kanye West Tuesday announced the birth of their third child,
a baby girl who was born via a surrogate.
“She is here! We’re so in love,” Kardashian, 37,
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.
Kardashian and West married in May 2014, and already
have two children: daughter North, 4, and 2-year-old son Saint.
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, according to celebrity
website TMZ.
TMZ also reported that the Wests paid $45,000 to the surrogate — who was
banned from smoking and taking drugs as well as taking hot baths, dying her
hair and eating raw fish during the pregnancy.
