The Truth: Kim Kardashian reveals if surrogate baby is biologically her and Kanye's

Since welcoming baby number three Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been the hot topic of conversation, with fans speculating on all manner of details including whether they were in the delivery, what the baby's name is and even a wild rumour about sister Kylie being the secret surrogate.

But now Kim has spoken out on one detail fans weren't expecting - that she did not actually have a 'surrogate' pregnancy, at least in the traditional sense.

Kim had been forced to look for alternatives after being told how it had been unsafe for her to carry a third baby as she struggles with high risk conditions preeclampsia and placenta accreta.


Although Kim has repeatedly referred to the woman carrying her child as 'her surrogate' what she actually had was a 'gestational carrier' - meaning her newborn daughter IS biologically both hers and Kanye's.

Speaking via her app , Kim explained: "A traditional surrogate donates her egg, is artificially inseminated with the father's sperm and then carries the baby to term.

"Since we implanted my fertilized egg in our gestational carrier, our baby is biologically mine and Kanye’s," she confirmed. Adding: "You can either choose someone that you know or you can go through an agency, like Kanye and I did,"

The now mum-of-three was also keen to point out that although she didn't carry the baby herself, the process was in no way 'an easy way out.'


"It’s not for everyone, but I absolutely love my gestational carrier and this was the best experience I've ever had," she said.

"Our gestational carrier gave us the greatest gift one could give. The connection with our baby came instantly and it's as if she was with us the whole time. Having a gestational carrier was so special for us and she made our dreams of expanding our family come true.

"We are so excited to finally welcome home our baby girl." she added.

Kim announced the news she had welcomed her third baby with husband Kanye West by posting on Twitter 'She's here!'


In a more lengthy statement, Kim continued: "7lbs 6oz. Kanye and I are happy to announce the arrival of our healthy, beautiful baby girl.

"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. North and Saint are especially thrilled to welcome their baby sister.

"Love, Kim Kardashian West."
