Seeing North West wear all of that makeup for the Kardashian-West’s Christmas photos makes me feel gross. I get that North is a girly-girl who loves to play with her mom’s makeup and hair stuff, but it’s quite another thing to let a five-year-old have a face full of makeup for Christmas photos. That’s what I always worried about with Kim as a mother – that she would pass on her body dysmorphia and extreme superficiality to her daughters. Well, Kanye and Kim already have two girls (Chicago and North) and one son (Saint). According to Us Weekly, they want to have another child, and they’ve already implanted their remaining boy fertilized egg into their surrogate.
Party of six! Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are expecting their fourth child, via surrogate, multiple sources confirm in the new issue of Us Weekly. In August, Us reported that the couple, who used a surrogate for their third child, 11-month-old Chicago, had one embryo left, a male. Now he’s due to arrive “in very early May,” says an insider.
In addition to baby Chicago, the couple are also parents to North, 5, and Saint, 3, and another source reveals that 38-year-old Kardashian “always wanted four kids.”
Kris Jenner had four kids with Robert Kardashian, then Kris has two daughters with (then) Bruce Jenner. It feels like Kim is stuck on the idea of “four” because of her own childhood and family. And hey, Kim got along really well with the surrogate, and Kim even hinted at the idea of reusing the same woman if and when they wanted their fourth. Basically, this wouldn’t surprise me. I think Kimye probably are expecting another baby – a boy – through surrogacy and that’s when Kim will call it a day. Unless she and Kanye split at some point and then Kim will probably have a kid with the next guy.

Trump West coming in 2019
Hahahhaha
I’m guffawing! Perfection, Elisabeth! 👏👏👏
Best comment of the day!
Called this one weeks ago. With Kylie talking about a second baby(probably pregnant now)I am thinking Kourtney will be the third sister to announce she is expecting. But I wouldn’t rule out Khloe making an announcement this year.
As for names, I think Kanye will finally honour his late mother and his BFF #45 by naming the baby “Don”
My father’s name was Donald. He was a gentle, honorable man and always respectful to women. Every time they refer to 45 as “The Donald”, it makes me want to vomit in my mouth.
Just to add to the nausea – Trump himself came up with The Donald, as well as The Trumpster. He likes to refer to himself in the third person, you can see he often refers to himself as Trump in his tweets.
My wager is that Kylie and Khloe will both be pregnant this coming year. Both are publicly admitting to be trying right now. Kourtney, not so much
I bet on Dragon West.
God West.
Girls get names with geographical references, boys get hyped.
@Nanea Something that beats Sir Carter, for sure.
President West
Maga West
Called it on the prediction thread!
Congrats on the full loaded trainwreck!
Girl, you already got him and his wallet. Enough already.
The worst part is I think she’s financially better off than he is.
Like… not the WORST part but there is zero logical reason for this. Guess it’s love? Shudder.
I think she’s definitely worth more than him at this point, and she arguably has more long term earning potential.
Someone else in an earlier thread mentioned that Kris taught all the girls to have all their kids by the same man, which I think is what this is really about. Sad state of affairs when Travis is probably the best baby daddy of them all, followed not too far behind by Scott the alcoholic.
What the hell does she see in him???? I think he is great as an artist, but this is one person who definitely is his own worst enemy.
@Seraphina
she got his surname, and their relationship legetimized her in Hollywood. She gets invited into places that previously looked down upon her, because she’s Kanye West’s wife vs sex tape celebrity.
she’s the breadwinner. kanye famously pisses away all his money.
I read somewhere that they are using the same surrogate. Kim has been using North for publicity for a while now. It’s one thing for the child to play with make up but another to put a full face of make up on just for a photo. I truly believe her daughters have little chance of loving themselves for being just them – warts and all.
I read it was a different surrogate as the previous one just had a child of her own. Regardless, I’m sure it will be a beautiful child with an odd name.
Read this on DM. They do make gorgeous children.
She is definitely using North to promote her own make-up line. That red lipstick is a new color lipstick Kim said will be releasing soon. I highly doubt North said “ohhh mom you know that new red lipstick you’re going to promote soon…can I wear it now in this picture so everyone will notice and talk about it?”. That’s ALL Kim.
In addition to the make up, it’s SO SAD that North isn’t smiling in any of these pictures. It’s Christmas and she’s 5 years old! She should feel comfortable expressing joy. It seems like she’s hard posing…at 5 years old. With straightened hair.
Such a vapid family. This is where I hope the kids have intelligent nannies to raise them.
I can’t stand her vacant wide eyed blow up doll expression. Ugh.
They look like wax figures in the last pic
I completed a research project on surrogates. Just like the k’s plastic everything, for every celeb w a pro doctor, there are thousands of charlatans, harming the vulnerable. Same w surrogates – for every pampered womb of celebs, there are millions rented & discarded. Vanity families of the wealthy spawn an unregulated and highly concerning industry. The legacy of this klan is dark money, dangerous “trends”.
Kanye can’t stay on his medication, and Kim is bringing another child into this mess, two egomaniacs.
Key West as soon as possible
Why does a five year old need to wear brow gel?
That man is mentally ill and non-compliant with treatment. He has only gotten treatment when others outside the family have intervened while she was away. It is cruel and selfish of them to bring yet another child into that instability. While she can divorce him when she has had enough, those kids can never walk away from the fact that he is their father and won’t be present for them in their lives because he refuses to treat his illness. They will have to deal with him and his erratic behavior forever. They should have stopped after the second one when he was involuntarily committed. But no, she needs more props.
Bi-polar illness can also be hereditary. I choose not to have biological children because of that factor. I hope Kim is prepared for that possibility.
A colleague of mine stopped having children (she already had two and wanted more) when they found out the husband had MS.
H, you don’t say whether a family member or you yourself have the ailment. Either way, I wish you all the best on what can be a very difficult path.
As for Kim, she doesn’t seem to deal take her husband’s struggles seriously, considering he only gets help when his business colleagues call for it. I really pity those kids. They’ll have every material item anyone could want but they don’t have and they won’t have peace in their home.
When I was 18…I told my first love…whom I married…that we couldn’t have children…as there was SERIOUS mental illness on his Grandmother AND Grandfather’s side of the family…his Mama and Aunts were off the chain…so were ALL his cousins…and quite often…I was giving HIM the side eye too…
Of course the marriage didn’t last…and he had children later on…that experience issues…along with the issues he deals with now that went unheeded when he was younger….
It’s nothing to play with…and if I had a partner who was dealing with serious mental issues…even if I had money, I wouldn’t want to have a lot of children…because you need to monitor your mate…who grapples with horrific organic issues every second of their lives…and that means that time is taken away from the children…and not only that…
How much can you honestly deal with at once?
Lawd….
My daughter has decided not to have children for fear that they will have the same anxiety and depression issues she does. As sad as it makes me that she won’t be a mother, and I won’t be be a grandmother, I fully support her decision. I’ve had to step in with well meaning relatives who keep trying to tell her she’ll change her mind, and just won’t shut the hell up.
My brother once told me that he didn’t want me to have children because I’m bipolar. (He is ignorant on the subject and is scared of me because of it.) Our parents both were/are bipolar: mom was mostly depressive, and dad is mostly manic.
But I thought about it a lot and decided that I didn’t want to have children – and haven’t – because even though I’d be able to tell them about my experiences and how I’ve made it through it to be 50 this year – I’d never be able to handle the ups and downs for them.
I don’t wish suicidal, bipolar depression on anyone other than my enemies, so wouldn’t potentially give that to my child. Mania, either, because when it’s good it’s great, but when it’s bad, it’s excruciating. I couldn’t do that to my child. 🙁
Kudos to those who have decided not to pass on difficult illnesses. Adoption is a wonderful way to still be a parent, if one’s illness doesn’t prevent that. Fostering a child can also be fulfilling – again, if one’s illness doesn’t get in the way of being a parent.
Best wishes!
LALA I worry about this very much. My dad, his sister, his aunt and his maternal grandma and a cousin all have/had SEVERE mental illness. My dad has schizophrenia and OCD and depression that is debilitating. My mom and dad made the decision to have three children anyway – I am not sure I would have done that. But all three of us have been spared. Both my brothers have been treated for anxiety but otherwise OK. I’ve had no illness and I’m past the 20-something window when it seems to pop up.
My husband and I prayed and deliberated before having children. We have two and stopped. Mental illness factors being one of the reasons. And I watch them, pray over them, every day.
I think more than the hereditary risks, Kim is having children with a man that refuses treatment to the point that he’s unsafe. The kids seem to be insulated because of her family, but they’re going to grow up with a sick dad that won’t be able to be there emotionally for them. That will leave scars. To say nothing of the vapid image-obsessed kardashian side. It makes me sad.
It’s a SERIOUS thing…during the early 70s …as a young child…my Mama was a foster parent and most of the children/teens that were put into our home…had serious mental issues that their parents could not deal with…so growing up in that environment…being around it everyday…just gave me a totally different perspective…ESPECIALLY the way healthcare was setup where you couldn’t GET the viable and consistent treatment that you need to be self-sustaining….
I remember when my then future MIL maxxed out her lifetime healthcare benefits in 1987…at her really good job that she had been at for like 20 years…where she was a paralegal…It destroyed her life….and the repercussions…are STILL reverberating….
It (bipolar and other affect disorders) big time runs in my family. I have it and unfortunately I passed it down to my two boys.
To the person above who said she is probably safe, 30-35 is the next time it tends to pop upin women.
Usually Mania and/or mixed episode type.
So continue to watch for that, don’t let it take you by surprise.
Overall I don’t get why people criticize Kim for letting North wear make-up. Usually when she’s wearing it, she’s playing around or it’s a special occasion. Obviously North wears adult make-up (which she shouldn’t) but it’s sold in the kids department. Clearly North isn’t the only child in the world who plays with it. I guess I think people really overreact calling Kim, the family actually, horrible parents. If the worst thing that comes of their parenting is narcissism that’s a lot better than how a lot of kids turn out. Not a fan just that there are worse people in the World.
Agreed. It’s just lipstick. Lipstick and nail polish have never been things I’ve associated with a lack of self-love in anyone. For a little girl, (and sometimes little boys too) that’s usually just an artsy pretty girly thing.
It’s not that the concerns about Kim Kardashian giving her daughters body image/superficiality issues are invalid at all. That’s totally valid. I just think people will kind of ruin it if they start to jump on her for things they shouldn’t (pierced ears, lipstick, the laced tutu controversy) or take things into a problematic direction.
ITA. Lots of little girls play with makeup because they see mommy wearing it and they want to be like her. I remember putting on my mom’s lipstick when I was North’s age. If she is doing it of her own volition, it’s harmless. What’s bad is if Kim is criticizing her child’s looks in some way that makes the child feel she needs to have makeup.
I don’t think, in North’s case, it’s just this evidence of lipstick or her dressing up. My daughter did it at that age. It’s that we know what this family is like. Their self esteem is based solely on looks, and a very specific, unnatural blow up doll look. It’s not that someone had a crooked nose or acne scars and got that taken care of—it’s the constant nips, tucks, injections, lipo, implants—for women who (aside from PMK) haven’t even reached 40 yet. And on top of that they photoshop and filter their pictures! So all of these little girls will be seeing plastic surgeons and makeup artists at very young ages…and I doubt they will be allowed to leave their hair alone either.
I think because she’s using her young daughter to promote her new lipstick shade. She’s profiting from a child. It’s not play time at home, it’s not even momager because I doubt the kid got paid to sponsor.
What’s the ‘special occasion’? It’s a very *public* occasion. Publicizing a sexualized photo of a little girl (to sell makeup!) is not kids playing dress-up at home with their friends.
@Agenbiter: That’s exactly what I meant by taking it in a problematic direction. Wearing make-up publicly does not automatically mean that one is sexualizing herself or being sexualized by whoever allowed her to. When people project their issues onto young girls and women by reading prostitution, predators, and promiscuity into simple things like whether or not she wears make-up publicly, they’re doing the sexualizing.
If your male friends, relatives, or co-workers are pedophiles, whether or not a little girl or little boy is wearing a hijab, make-up, or nail polish is not going to make a difference, There are Muslim feminists who were calling this out when the subject of 6-year-old- girls being expected to wear the hijab so as not to be ‘sexualized’ came up a few years ago. #MisogynyKills
Yes to the three comments above— Agenbiter, Eliza and Minx. You all bring up different points, the overall point being that lipstick on this child is a big fat Nope.
One more before she dumps Kanye
For some reason I just find myself super resentful that Kim can have more, especially children via surrogate. No need to ruin her body, endure another pregnancy and birth, worry about her career (more kids *boost* her career) or whether she can take yet another maternity leave or the consequences at work for doing so.
I know it’s not her fault and I’m being petty… but still, it’s got me over here like “must be nice”….
That many kids is a luxury for the rich.
And with no regard for the finite resources of the planet…
Good point.
I honestly think anyone these days deliberately having more than two kids is either ignorant of the very real problems of overpopulation or narcissists who don’t care and think they can do whatever they want, others and the planet be screwed
@SK: Maybe countries should start making abortions and hysterectomies mandatory after 2 children to make environmentalists feel better. #FeministWins
Nobody is shaming people for having more than two kids, just pointing out that people rarely-if-ever consider the environmental/ecological impact of their personal choices.
Oh, and I grew up one of two kids and trust me, it was awesome and it was certainly no huge sacrifice for my parents to not have more 😉
as someone who suffered with infertility for 8 years, I think about when I ran out of money half way thru treatment. Years of desperation where IVF was not an option for me. (My miracle baby is 9 now)
I get that feeling too ‘must be nice’ but I know I’m being petty.
It is also why I despise Khloe for faking infertility for a storyline then later saying with a laugh she faked it.
I’m so glad you said this. I’m over here struggling for baby #2 and she can just pick a random person to house this baby because she’s bored and she can. I know I sound bitter as hell right now and it’s because I am 🙁
Me too with struggling for #2, it’s hard and then I feel ashamed because I have one perfect child already. Life is hard yo!
Side note the only times I see Kanye genuinely smiling are when he’s with his kids, so that’s something I guess?
I can’t believe I’m about to defend Ms Vapid USA but she was advised not to have any more children from her own uterus by her doctor. She does have serious, actual medical problems with that.
That said, 4 kids is excessive and unnecessary. The expense that goes into having a surrogate is also not cheap. Why the need to pass on their genes, especially when some of the genes may be problematic (bipolar for example). I would have had much more respect for them had they adopted, preferably a foster child.
Going to go shower now and rinse off the shame of defending KK and KW.
I have 4 kids. We planned it out very thoughtfully and considered how/if we could manage financially, physically, emotionally, space-wise, attention-wise, etc. I don’t think it’s fair to judge people on how many children they decide to have/not have. My children are raised to be thoughtful, self-aware, aware of others and the world around them, and the impact of their actions. Maybe and hopefully they will contribute to efforts to save the environment and the planet (instead of people like you seeing them as a burden).
Heather you are entitled to your opinion but you do not get to decide what is necessary for other people. If they want 4 they can easily afford it. Adoption and fostering is not for everyone. Just wanted to point that out respectfully.
I completely agree, nice to see more comments addressing our overpopulation than just saying congratulations.
I COMPLETELY understand as it’s something that I feel when I read these posts about her using a surrogate. It’s not an easy thing to admit (I obvs wasn’t brave enough to say it) but I really respect that you buffered your comments in kindness and self-awareness.
Anyway, thanks for saying what I’ve thought/felt countless times.
I just saw her instagram page and she still promote product for flat tummy …. She’s a horrible human.
Good lord. A culture vulture (and arguably white supremacist) and sunken place sellout raising four black children. Pray for those babies!
Culture vulture sure but white supremacist is a bit reaching if you mean Kim
Sometimes Kanye reminds me of a Dave Chappelle sketch…remember that one? Hilarious, part of his best work, where a blind black man joins the KKK.
Clayton Bigsby? OMG that is so accurate.
Chappelle’s early work was truly iconic and prescient.
I hear Kanye is going to be on Joe Rogan’s podcast. It should be good.
Some people really shouldn’t procreate. This couple is among those people.
Serious question–I understand they want to have all their kids by the same father…but, if you know the father isn’t mentally stable…wouldn’t you save some of your eggs? Why keep adding more children? Again, I don’t mean any snark…i’m really curious. I don’t think Kim and Kayne will last…so, I’m not sure why she keeps adding more children.
honestly I think its purely superficial, like Kim wants all her kids by Kanye because she wants them to look alike
If they are in fact using the same surrogate, poor woman! If Chi is one in January and I’ve read some reports baby#4 could arrive as early as May… I’m surprised she would want to – let alone be medically approved – to undergo implantation so soon after giving birth. She’s not a factory!
I’ve always thought Kim has stayed with Kanye because of this final embryo. She was waiting out the crazy so she could have this last kid without the controversy (and possible legal battle) of implanting the embryo after a split. Peace out Kanye once this baby is born!
You can’t save a marriage with a baby, and you can’t erase the fact that your husband admitted he’s off his meds and is unapologetically supporting a racist, sexist tyrant with a baby either.
This is just another cog in the narcissistic wheel that is the Kardashian machine.
I’m a little surprised that they were able to find a surrogate so quickly after having their third. Maybe they started the process right after their previous kid’s birth? I’ve posted once before to explain my own reasons for going the surrogacy route, but we just started the process and “matching” with a surrogate takes 6-9 months on average because of all of the screening that’s required and the limited number of women who pass the medical, psychological, and financial screening. Plus, the surrogates have to pick the couple that they’d like to work with. Of course, i’m basing this off of my limited experience going through this as a normal person, but I (naively) assumed that the process was regulated enough that a famous/rich couple couldn’t simply dial a number and get a surrogate on demand.
I am sure they pay A LOT of money and that makes it much much easier to get whichever surrogate situation they want.
Maga West – has a nice ring to it.
Ha!
What are the chances the new son will get a run-of-the-mill name, like, oh, uhh, Donald…?
Isn’t it a gestational carrier?
Also, I bet she goes for the full six. I don’t doubt she has a medical need for a carrier but now that she’s seen how easy it is I bet she’ll do six like her mom.
… it’s a good distraction from Kanye’s antics.
Kim may copy her mother and have six children, but Kris had the children with two different husbands.
If that is what Kim wants to do then Kanye better start packing his bags now. He will be shown the curb as soon as this baby is home.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the divorce papers are being prepared now
I think the article calling this a family of six is too optimistic. This family has always seemed more like Kim and the kids + Kanye. So I would characterize it as five Kardashians + Kanye.
Also, in the top picture, it looks like Kim stopped to pose for a photo but her breasts kept walking…in two different directions.
Their kids are gorgeous
I’m pretty disturbed by all the comments suggesting that if you live with a mental or physical illness you don’t deserve to reproduce. It’s like saying a life isn’t worth living if illness is present. That’s getting awfully close to Eugenics folks! For the record, many people with both mental and physical illness live meaningful and happy lives, contributing both to their families and the wider world. Their children can too. I’m one of them.
Now, as to whether Kanye and Kim are coping well enough to create a happy, stable home- that’s another question altogether. But being vapid, egotistical and self-absorbed as parents really has nothing to do with bipolar disorder. If they have an issue, it’s in their personalities and values.
I completely agree.
I also think that everyone experiences hardships in their life. (Regardless of whether or not you’re neuro typical.) However we can all be taught the compassion and resilience needed to face those hardships.
I know plenty of people who experience issues with mental health however they aren’t vapid and bigoted like Kayne. I think most of his behaviour can be explained by him being entitled and cocooned by wealth.
I also think attributing his behaviour to bipolar just adds to the demonisation of it.
See, and I don’t see how you can judge people who decide that they don’t want to pass an illness down to their children. It’s an entirely personal choice that has zero bearing on your life or mine.
My uncle has PKD, a devastating genetic disorder that has impacted his entire life from his world view to his nonstop charity work, to personal decisions like retiring early and his choice to not have children. He met my aunt when he was in his thirties and helped raise her two daughters. He made the very personal choice to NOT have bio children of his own because he didn’t want to gamble with the possibility of having a child who is saddled with a debilitating disease that is effectively a life sentence. Still, my uncle’s life is rich and fulfilled and he is full of gratitude. He is loving and he is very much loved.
And if he hadn’t met my aunt, had decided to adopt or never have kids at all, I have no doubt his life would be just as meaningful.
I don’t think that anyone is judging people who are choosing to not pass down their illnesses. Having reproductive freedom means you can choose to refrain from reproducing, if you want to. But making a blanket statement (as a great deal of people have been making in this thread) about how mental health singlehandedly disqualifies you from parenthood, to the point where choosing to have children while mentally ill makes you reckless and irresponsible, is a bit much. As @Zazu said, that type of talk veers far too close to a lot of eugenics level rhetoric, and it’s been used to justify egregious policies such as the sterilization of Native American and black women for example.
There are plenty of mentally ill parents who raise children who are thoughtful, well-adjusted, and compassionate. There are plenty of parents who aren’t mentally ill who raise their children to be the opposite as well.
The fertility clinic and surrogacy agency that is allowing this surrogacy to happen with someone who has untreated bipolar, should be closed due to their lack of ethics and interest in child protection. If Kanye was compliant with treatment, it’s a different story. My bff has bipolar, and she parents and functions well, because she manages her health with medical and psych support. But money talks I guess.
All I can see in that last picture of her and Kanye is the stupid plastic shoes…
4 kids is a breeze with nannies, chefs, housekeepers and personal assistants.
I have HG when I am pregnant. I also get bad PP anxiety. I also get debilitating migraines while pregnant. I would give anything for those three reasons to be able to afford a surrogate with a third child(I won’t have because of the three reasons above). I would love to have another beautiful soul but it’s at the expense of my own health, and I just can’t. It’s best for my family if I’m done, so that’s the choice I’m making. Everyone’s story is different and this is mine.
they have the resources to offset some of the difficulties of a parent with unmedicated bipolar disorder… after this child, kim is out of the marriage. another kardashian associated male bites the dust. what a mess.
even though she is likely the breadwinner at this point, it got to be this way because kanye kind of rescued her “brand” (if you can believe it) by officially hooking up with her in 2012.
he was still “legitimate,” while people even the die hard stans were over the kardashians and their antics (what with kim’s 72-day wedding/marriage for money). she had gone undercover for a while, the official excuse being heartbreak – but really, she was overexposed.
she admits herself, she thought (and even told her family as much) that their “careers” were over and that they’d have to figure something else out.
… enter kanye. brought her “back into the fold” and weirdly legitimized that whole family. with that legitimacy came crazy earnings, from the video games to the lip kits, etc.
now that she’s outearning him and he’s detracting from the truman show that is her “brand” more than helping it… and she has the kids she needs… sayonara!
the kardashians are not good people. khloe is a *bit* more redeemable, but even she is shady af.
I agree with the other posters who think she will leave him after this last embryo. The petty part of me that enjoys their drama wishes she would get with Drake and have a baby with him after divorcing Kanye. Talk about some epic gossip. I don’t watch their show, but might start if all of that went down.
This news is dismaying to me, mainly because there are reports that Kim is using the same surrogate that she used the last time with Chicago. Her baby is reportedly due in May? Which means that this surrogate conceived their fourth child sometime in August. Chicago was born in January last year. That means that this lady got, at most, seven months of downtime before she was pregnant yet again.
I don’t care what anyone says, getting pregnant in such quick succession is not good for anyone’s health. It simply isn’t. It leads to a great deal of health problems for the women who go through this, including things like osteoperosis later on in life. Such a short recovery period before the widespread use of birth control was also a likely contributor to the high maternal mortality rate. The fact that Kim Kardashian is so fcking cavalier about this because she wants to meet her quota for however many children she has to have is terrible. It strikes me as terribly exploitative and selfish tbh.
Guess I’m screwed. I’m pregnant with my second and only had a 4 month break.
@Franny Days, congrats on your second pregnancy. It sounds like a welcome and happy one for you. I wish you the best and I hope you’re well-rested and looked after over the course of it. But the truth is that your situation in this case is quite different from the surrogate’s as well as that of other women who deal with multiple pregnancies in quick succession. For one thing, a lot of the women I’m talking about are on their fourth, fifth, sixth (etc) child, and their day to day reality as well as their health is in another place entirely.
For another thing, this is a surrogate who is working within the context of a commercial surrogacy operation. That’s a whole different ballgame tbh. She’s not having children for her own sake, this is essentially paying work for her, and that’s a huge factor in why I find it alarming and detrimental to her health. There’s money on the line for the surrogate mother, and it’s a set up that has seen a lot of surrogates get exploited by wealthy people before. I should have made it clear in my comment that this is where I’m coming from when I said that a 7 month break between pregnancies is bad for the surrogate.
Yes, it’s not recommended to get pregnant again that quickly, but women do it all the time….and it works out just fine for the most part.
LOL. She’s not using the same surrogate. Even if she was, she didn’t force her to do it. It’s a free world.
Poor child.
I definitely think that whether or not you choose to have kids if there is a genetic component to a chronic illness in your family is entirely a personal decision with pros and cons on both sides. I just object to people on the outside saying “anyone with x illness reproducing is being irresponsible and cruel to the kids.” It’s totally possible to have a meaningful and valuable life despite not being in perfect health. Of course the type of illness and the degree of family support are all important factors too. Like if Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones had had fertility problems, I seriously doubt anyone would be questioning why he didn’t insist on an egg donor instead! The fact that Kanye seems to be isolating himself from his friends, blaring shity political views from the loudspeaker and is a raging narcissist are the real reasons that anyone should question whether now is the right time to bring more kids into the equation.
I haven’t read the comments so this may have been said already: Kim is gearing up to divorce Kanye. If this baby is due in early May then it was implanted around August, maybe even July. Chicago would have only been 6-7 months old (can they safely use the same surrogate that soon?). She always said she wanted all her kids with the same person. I think the rush is because she is done with him and wants no legal battle over the fertilized egg. I call a divorce announcement by May 2020.
They used another gestational carrier as the first one got pregnant with her own child after Chicago.
