— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) December 26, 2015
Kim Kardashian posted this ^^ on her social media for Christmas, showing off her matching braids with daughter North West. We still haven’t seen any photos of the new baby, Saint West, although family members say that Saint looks a lot like North. If I remember correctly, it took a few months before we saw the first photos of North, and Kanye and Kim saved the debut for Kris Jenner’s now-canceled talk show. So when will we see the first images of Saint West?
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were offered millions of dollars for the first pics of baby Saint … TMZ has learned. We’re told the offers — from various magazines — range from $2 million to $2.5 million. We’re told the magazines want more than just a head shot of Saint … they want the full family, including North. Candid family shots are part of the offer.
As for whether the financial offer is in range of what it’s worth … we’re told it’s dead on.
Here’s the snag. Our Kardashian sources tell us at this point they’re “almost certain” they will reject all offers. You may recall, the last time around, Kanye unveiled the first pics of North West on Kris Jenner’s talk show. That show is long gone, but Khloe’s got a new show launching in a few weeks.
Would Kim and Kanye really give Khloe their big exclusive? Perhaps. I think Kim’s instinct is probably to sell the photos quickly, just to get them out there. Kanye is the one who likely doesn’t want to “sell” the baby photos, plus he doesn’t want images of his kids out there so quickly. So the compromise might be that Khloe gets to show off her nephew’s first photos. But you never know – I could also see them saving the photos for a big magazine photoshoot, just not with People or Us Weekly. Like, Vogue France or something.
As for how the Kardashian-Wests spent Christmas, apparently they were at home in LA. And by “at home,” I mean Kris Jenner’s home, where they’ve been living for years now. Kris throws an annual Christmas party and Kim definitely came out for it. Also: according to Kourtney’s subscription app, Kanye gave Kim something like 150 Christmas gifts, all wrapped in black paper, of course. He also gave her a multi-colored fur coat. While I enjoy Kanye’s taste in jewelry (I still think Kim’s engagement ring is gorgeous), Kim never wears anything else he gives her. Remember those awful Birkin bags he’s given her for past Christmases?

I’m shocked ~said no one ever
But 150 presents purchased and wrapped by somebody else prove his undying love! Nothing says “j’adore” like a present wrapped in black.
Yeah who cares. They may be rich but nobody respects them for anything other than the hustle. He probably paid for whatever ridiculous plastic surgery mommy makeover she will reveal soon also. Can she get more alien looking?
I think she’s showing their matching furs not so much the braid
It sounds like they planted this story so magazines will think the photos are worth more than they actually are and start a bidding war. I think we are way past the days when baby photos sold magazines, right?
Exactly. When she was in hiding after having North the same thing happened. There were rumors all over the place that no one wanted to buy the photo’s because K cover mags dont sell. There just weren’t the high bids that they were hoping for so the deal was they would release them on their own. It was sort of a game for them to see who would want them if they claimed they actually had bids. Not surprised its happening again because no one would really care past the check out counter and free internet pic’s.
Weren’t they offered about the same amount for pictures of North and it wasn’t enough for them? I could be remembering wrong. I really like the celebs that just put those baby pictures out there right away and then everyone is over it. Also, Kanye doesn’t want his children’s pictures out there but North sure gets a lot of coverage whenever she is out and about – can’t have it both ways.
My guess – they didn’t get offers, so they are putting out this story as a spin. Pics of second babies are never worth much, and I don’t think they got a big offer even for the first baby. I think Kim would sell anything for any price, frankly, so my guess is that they got no offers.
I’m sure he is cute little boy just like his sister.. Thing is I don’t read much about them; but in looking as celebrity media coverage I don’t see this big clamoring to see pictures of the baby. I don’t hear people talking about him or saying I can’t wait to see the baby. I think at this point not many people care that much; and maybe that is what they are getting too.
There are and were on a few celebrities that got that crazy around their babies. And I just think at this point that tide has passed. I mean if you even look at Will and Kate and their baby girl there isn’t that much crazy around her either. Which is why we have so many celebrities posting pictures on Social Media. These things don’t sell anymore.
I”m taking a wild guess here & saying that it’s going to be US Vogue or Khloe’s new show who gets the exclusive. As for the “Kanye doesn’t want his kid’s pics out there because he’s so private” SURE JAN. North is still featured in the Kardashian show not her face but you can see her arms/legs/body & all of the pap walks every week. Kanye may say one thing but famewh*re married a famewh*re so it’s a match in Balmain heaven.
I like the braids in the first picture. So cute.
I wish i could make my hair like this. I am bad at braiding.
I just assume Kim never wears what Kanye gives her because Kanye doesn’t pick that stuff out for her. It’s been clear for a long time that he dresses her so if she isn’t wearing it, it’s probably just not on the itinerary.
I clicked a link that led me to the DM. So odd to see how the filthy rich do Christmas. It just seems so damn excessive. Kanye’s wearing a fur coat while trying out his new $15,000 bike that he got for Christmas.
I really do believe that Kim and Kanye are perfect for one another–mainly because he seems to enjoy showering her with gifts and I think that’s all she has ever wanted in life. I think Kim would’ve stayed married the first time she got married if she found an insanely rich man who could just shower her with gifts and other sorts of grand gestures. Kim’s not a woman who can ride it out if her husband goes broke. She probably also would think the relationship was boring or dead if the grand gestures ever cooled out. There’s no deep bond formed, it’s all about stuff. Kim loves Kanye because Kanye loves her and spoils her. Kris Jenner raised her kids, especially Kim, to be some rich man’s wife. The fact that they struck it big with the sex tape was just a happy surprise.
Not so much struck it rich. When we were fret introduced to Kim she wasn’t anything. She might have gotten a Kris Humphries type player. Khloe got lucky getting the big ball player (Lamar), had they not pushed hard for Kim to become well known she wouldn’t have amounted to much. Certainly too old for a rich man, especially in LA. Reggie Bush was never going to marry her. But then along came dopey Kanye. It’s still boogles my mind why he thinks she’s the greatest. I mean your girl has had tons of plastic surgery and got peed on to get famous? How is she Helen of Troy. But thank Satan for Kanye. They got a package deal in that one; super rich rapper and can sway everyone to giving her legitimacy. I’m sure Kris Jenner sold a few generations of Kardashian souls to pull that off. It’s still amazing her turnaround. And all because of Kanye? What even.
Too old for a rich man at 25? I mean, if you have premature ageing like a lot of women in LA do (from all the tanning) sure. But she looked beautiful at 25, it certainly isn’t too old. I’ve seen ex models in their mid 30’s marry multi multi millionaires and billionaires. Usually no older than 35 unless they still look gorgeous.
at least they don’t do one of those christmas morning unboxing show (or will it be in a special KUWTK?)
my daughter spent the weekend binging on youtube-famous people vlogging about their “christmas haul”. one of them is this family:
http://youtu.be/LC55ajceET8 (go straight to 1hr & 48mins mark to see the christmas morning footage; or maybe watch the whole under 2 hrs vlog).
its not quite 150 presents per person, but it’s a livingroom full. for all the kids.
according to my children, there are many people famous (like this family) by chronicling their life on youtube. making 1hr long or even 2hr long episodes.
is this the way reality show tv is heading? people self-producing online to keep content independence and apparently earn quite comfortable income (sponsorship, etc)? or is this sort of a stepping stone and their aim is still KUWTK or Duggars or Duck Dynasty type tv signing?
and it seems that the children is also comfortable growing up in front of the camera (although rather than some stranger as cameraman its their own parents, so less awkwardness) and watched by strangers?
way back when we used to have family videos, but its strictly family viewing and we don’t even share it with extended family/most in laws most of the time. for me its sort of embarrassing to me to have strangers watch my family videos. but i guess new generation grow in a different kind of environment with social media…
Kim used to brag that she made Christmas ‘easier’ for her family by demanding that she choose her own gifts, even getting then wrapped – all the other person had to do was present the credit card. I have no doubt that if she didn’t like something Kanye got her (and that’s *if* he went rogue) that she wouldn’t hesitate to exchange or return.
150 presents for someone who already has more things than she could ever wear or need.
Just tacky and gross.
Kim is in hiding, healing from her latest lipo and whatever procedure. She did the same thing when North was born.
Do it is your must just dont make it public knowledge.
How are they not broke. I totally believe they are bleeding money.
Well they have been living with PMK for years. Free rent, free food, free maid, free chef. I do think once Kim’s “career” finally settles down and their show goes off the air, she will be struggling to keep up this lifestyle. Kanye has to make some amazing albums to make bank and he’s hasn’t been able to do that recently. We’ll see with his new album.
Fur. Disgusting and cruel…one more thing to dislike about the Kardashians.
