Soon, there could be another little Kardashian-West to coo over.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, already the parents of two (North, 4, and Saint, 18 months) and longing for a third, have hired a surrogate to help make it happen, because Kardashian’s doctors strongly advised her not to go through a third pregnancy.
According to People and E! Online, unnamed sources in the know say the couple paid a surrogacy agency nearly $70,000 to find a surrogate, who will be paid about $45,000 for 10 months of carrying a pregnancy, with a bonus of $5,000 for each possible twin or triplet child.
If you’ve been keeping up with Keeping Up With the Kardashians, you already know Kim was considering surrogacy because she’s talked about it on the show. She wanted a third baby anyway, and her yen grew only stronger in the wake of her traumatic experience as the victim of an armed robbery in Paris last October.
Kardashian’s recent discussions on the show about her desire for another baby have also involved her sister, Khloé, who offered to act as a surrogate until they went to a fertility specialist who found Khloe has fertility problems of her own.
Chrissy Teigen also offered to act as Kim’s surrogate, telling Access Hollywood that she would do it in “a heartbeat.”
