Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have become parents for the fourth time. Kardashian announced on social media on 10 May 2019 that their son had been born and that he was healthy.
As with their third child, the couple worked with a gestational carrier. Kardashian had confirmed in January 2019, during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, that a baby boy was on the way.
A name a few days later
Kardashian said in interviews before the birth that she liked to wait until she had met a baby before settling on a name. A few days after the announcement she shared that the boy would be called Psalm.
He joined the couple’s three older children: North, born in 2013, Saint, born in 2015, and Chicago, born in January 2018.
Family in the public eye
Kardashian had spoken openly about her pregnancies with North and Saint and about the health complications that led doctors to advise against carrying another child herself, which is why the family turned to surrogacy for their younger two children.
The family’s life had been followed on television since 2007 in Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which ran for 20 seasons until 2021.
