Kim Kardashian, Kanye West's surrogate goes into labour with couple's fourth child

In January, it was reported that reality TV star Kim Kardashian and rapper-fashion designer Kanye West were expecting their fourth child, a boy, via surrogacy. Their publicist announced on 9 May (Thursday) that the surrogate had gone into labour, reports CNN.

Kris Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian recently filmed an episode of Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show with all the Kardashian children, including Kim and Kanye’s. Kourtney revealed that Kim was supposed to make an appearance on the show but was unable to because she had to rush to the hospital. However, Kris appeared shocked by this development.

“My mom doesn’t even know this but Kim’s surrogate went into labour. So, she’s at the hospital,” Kourtney told Ellen.

I surprised @KrisJenner with 6 of her grandchildren. Then I surprised her with one more. Sending love to you, @KimKardashian and @KanyeWest! @kourtneykardash pic.twitter.com/7SzHA2sahM
