Kim Kardashian and husband Kanye West expecting their third baby via surrogate

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are

expecting their third baby via a surrogate. As ource confirmed to People that the surrogate who they hired to carry their child

is pregnant, saying: "The entire family is

over the moon. Kim had been looking for a surrogate

for months until recently when she found the perfect

candidate. Given her health scares in the past, Kim

felt the need to hire a surrogacy agency that helped

serve as the liaison in finding a healthy woman who

would be a great surrogate option for her and Kanye.

Both of them have been super involved in the

process."

The source added: "They want everything to be

perfect and for the baby to be extremely healthy.

They don't want any complications and Kim is

providing an ideal eating regimen and diet so

everyone knows what the baby is consuming before

it's born."

Kim and Kanye welcomed their first child, a daughter

North , in June 2013. The reality TV star then gave

birth to their son, Saint , in December 2015. Kim has

openly admitted that she and her rapper husband

were hoping to expand their brood, but that she

couldn't carry any more children. On her family's TV

show, she said: "Kanye and I have always talked

about having more kids, but after what I went through

in Paris, the urgency is even greater. I can't carry any

more kids… It's the worst. It's not going to be happy

for me. I had a full break down."

In June, TMZ reported that the business mogul and

her husband struck an agreement with a surrogacy

agency and were moving forward with the process –

after a procedure to help Kim carry another baby was

unsuccessful. Last month, Kim also told The

Hollywood Reporter: "There have been a lot of things

said and Kanye and I have not confirmed anything.

We're definitely trying. We are hoping so."
