The gender of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's unborn baby has been revealed

Yesterday it was confirmed Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are expecting their third child via surrogate.

The couple will reportedly welcome the new arrival into their family in late January next year.

And it has now been claimed that they are expecting a little girl.

Sources close to the couple's pregnancy recently told TMZ that their surrogate is carrying a girl.

Due to health issues, Kim and Kanye decided to use a surrogate this time around.

It was previously revealed the couple hired an unnamed woman through an agency to carry their baby for $45,000.

In return, the surrogate agreed that she would not smoke, drink or do drugs as well as refrain from using hot tubs or saunas, handling or changing cat litter, applying hair dye, drinking more than one caffeinated drink per day or eating raw fish.

It was also agreed that the woman would restrict sexual activity in the weeks leading up to the pregnancy, including foregoing intercourse for three weeks after embryo implantation.
