Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are having a third child together. The baby's due date is January. TMZ first reported the news and it was confirmed by People.
The celebrity couple has two other children. North West was born in June 2013. Saint West was born in December 2015.
According to TMZ, Kim and Kanye paid $45,000 for a surrogate for their third child. Kim has a condition called placenta accreta which makes pregnancy dangerous for her.
"The entire family is over the moon," a source told People. "Kim had been looking for a surrogate for months until recently when she found the perfect candidate."

The source also said that the couple wants to make sure the baby is as healthy as possible and are preparing for everything.
"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," the source said.
In an April episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," Kim said she'd like to have more children.
"I’d just love nothing more than to expand my family and just know that I have this world at home that’s safe," she said.
A representative for Kim Kardashian didn't immediately respond to INSIDER's request for comment.
