Kanye West became a father this Father’s Day, when reality television star Kim Kardashian gave birth to their daughter. US Weekly reports on an unnamed hospital source who says the baby came “five weeks early. Kim got sick last night and had the baby early,” and though the birth was a natural birth, albeit a bit early, everybody is reportedly healthy and happy, with the baby weighing in under five pounds.
Though the progression of the pregnancy was detailed on Kardashian’s show, it’s unclear whether the child will become part of the show. “I think, as of now, that’s just, you know, a decision that Kanye and I made. … From the start, we’re just gonna try to keep it as private as possible,” she told Jimmy Kimmel last January.
USA Today noted tweets from family and well-wishers:
Rachel Roy tweeted, “So to welcome the sweetest lil angel into the universe, my niece blessings and love to @KimKardashian & KW xxRR”
Russell Simmons tweeted, “There is no greater gift in life than a child’s laughter! congrats to Kim And Kanye…”
Nas tweeted, “Congrats to Kanye 4 the birth of his daughter today too! To my bros w/ daughters!!”
Bethenny Frankel tweeted, “All kidding aside, congrats @kimkardashian on your baby girl. It’s the most beautiful, best thing that could happen to you. Girls rule.”
No name has been announced yet, though Kim said it will likely start with a K.
