'She's here!' Kimye welcome their third child

Kim Kardashian has announced that she and hubby Kanye West have welcomed their third child.

“She’s here,” the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star wrote on social media shortly after TMZ broke the news that their surrogate had given birth.

Kim, 37, wrote on her website that the baby was born Monday, Jan. 15, at 12:47 am, weighing in at 3.3kgs.

“Kanye and I are happy to announce the arrival of our healthy, beautiful baby girl,” she said in the message. “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," she added. "Love, Kim Kardashian West."

Kim revealed in September that she was expecting the couple's third bub via surrogate, after struggling through her first two high-risk pregnancies.

“Kim and Kanye are over the moon,” a source told Yahoo Entertainment. “They are so grateful to their surrogate and feel beyond blessed. It’s a very exciting time.”

Their surrogate, a woman from San Diego, initially didn't know about the celebrity parents-to-be, but Kim felt the woman carrying their child should know.

"What if they weren't a fan of me or my husband?" she told The Real. "And what if they didn't want to be carrying our baby?"

She's also opened up about the challenges of surrogacy, revealing on an episode of KUWTKs that finding someone you trust is "so much more difficult of a situation than you could really imagine.

The birth of Kim's bub — which is her second daughter — is the first of three Kardashian-Jenner babies expected in 2018.

While Khloe has finally revealed her pregnancy and has been sharing some gorgeous snaps of her blooming bump, rumours around Kylie's baby are still yet to be confirmed.

It's thought the 20-year-old's little one with rapper Travis Scott is due next, while Khloe has only just entered her third trimester.
