Kim Kardashian has confirmed she and Kanye West are expecting their fourth child.

It was reported earlier this month that the couple, who already share five-year-old North, three-year-old Saint and 11-month-old Chicago, had used a surrogate once again to have another baby.

And as she appeared on Watch What Happens Live on Monday night, Kim confirmed the happy news, as well as revealing the tot is a boy and is due “soon”.

“Are you working on another child?” host Cohen asked Kim, to which the reality star replied: “We are.”

She also laughed that she decided to speak out about the pregnancy after accidentally revealing it over the holidays.

“I got drunk at our Christmas party and told people and I can’t remember who I told,” she smiled.

While Kim carried North and Saint, she suffered complications in the pregnancies which meant she wasn’t able to fall pregnant again herself.

She and Kanye turned to a gestational carrier to have a third child, the term which refers to a woman who carries a child she has no genetic connection to herself, and Kim expressed her gratitude in a post on her app after welcoming daughter Chicago.

“I’m so grateful for modern technology and that this is even possible,” she wrote. “It’s not for everyone, but I absolutely love my gestational carrier and this was the best experience I’ve ever had. Our gestational carrier gave us the greatest gift one could give.

“The connection with our baby came instantly and it’s as if she was with us the whole time. Having a gestational carrier was so special for us and she made our dreams of expanding our family come true. We are so excited to finally welcome home our baby girl.”
