Reports are rife that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are expecting their fourth child via surrogate, according to Us Weekly.

Multiple sources have told the publication that a baby boy is due to arrive in early May, and will be their second child welcomed through a surrogate.

Chicago West was born via surrogate on January 15, 2018, and is the couple's youngest daughter.

The famous couple have two other children; North West and Saint West. Kim Kardashian was allegedly advised not to have any more natural pregnancies by doctors after two complicated births.

Another birth could prove life-threatening for Kim, after she suffered from placenta accreta during her first two baby deliveries.

In August, Kardashian rejected tabloid claims that Kimye were planning their fourth child, telling Harper's Bazaar:

"I don't know, I don't know, I read that, I read something…none of that was true," she said, coyly.

"But I've been really open about it and talked about it on our show, so…I don't know. We start filming season 16 next week, so if I think about it more and it's gonna happen, you'll definitely see it on the show. But as of now, no."

The reality television star and member of the most famous family in America spoke to ELLE in 2018 about her torn emotions over baby number four.

"I dunno," she commented. "My home and my heart feel really full right now, in the best way." She then made it absolutely clear that four kids would be more than enough for her, with her lack of time.

"I don't think I could handle more than that," she said.

"My time is spread really thin. And I think it's important that in all couples, the mom gives the husband as much attention as the kids."

We hope they confirm the rumours soon, what exciting news.
