According to TMZ, the woman is reportedly African American and in her mid-20s. She has been married for five years and has two children of her own.
She's allegedly halfway through the pregnancy and is due in late January.
Kim and Kanye, who share children North, 4, and Saint, 21 months, have been open about wanting to expand their family, however, due to complications with her past two pregnancies, doctors warned Kim off trying again.
“The entire family is over the moon. Kim had been looking for a surrogate for months until recently when she found the perfect candidate,” a source revealed to PEOPLE.
“Given her health scares in the past, Kim felt the need to hire a surrogacy agency that helped serve as the liaison in finding a healthy woman who would be a great surrogate option for her and Kanye. Both of them have been super involved in the process.”
