Kim And Kanye's Surrogate Reportedly Three Months Pregnant

In approximately 7.6 billion years, the sun will essentially eat the Earth, expanding into a fiery red giant that engulfs and destroys our once bright, unbroken planet—but here is some important news in the meantime. According to US Weekly, a surrogate is reportedly three months pregnant with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's baby.
The 36-year-old reality television powerhouse and the 40-year-old rap superstar already have two children together, North and Saint West. TMZ previously reported in June that the couple had found a surrogate to carry their next child; Kardashian has a condition called placenta accreta that could lead to life-threatening health complications if she carried another child to term. E!, which hosts the Kardashian reality empire, also confirmed news of the surrogate's hiring back in June.
According to US, the surrogate is a San Diego mom in her late 20s who was hired through an agency. TMZ reports that she will be paid $45,000 in 10 monthly installments of $4,500.
The Kardashian-Wests are reportedly due in January 2018.
And the sun/Earth thing probably won't happen until at least 7,600,002,017 A.D., for what it's worth.
