Kanye West appeared to confirm reports he is to welcome a fourth child with Kim Kardashian.

The US rapper thanked photographers after they congratulated him on the alleged news.

West was all smiles as he walked through a parking lot in Los Angeles while being snapped by the paparazzi.

One photographer said: “Congratulations on the new baby man.” West replied: “Thanks bro.”

His comment comes days after it was reported the A list couple are expecting a fourth child via a surrogate, after Kardashian was told giving birth could prove life threatening if she fell pregnant again.

The baby is reportedly due to arrive in “very early May,” according to US Weekly.

The child would be the pair’s second baby via surrogate after welcoming Chicago in January last year.

She thanked her surrogate as she broke the news of the birth on her blog, posting: “We are incredibly grateful to our surrogate who made our dreams come true with the greatest gift one could give and to our wonderful doctors and nurses for their special care.”

Kardashian, who last year shut down talk of expanding her brood, was forced to use a surrogate for her third child after she almost bled to death giving birth to three-year-old son Saint in 2015.

Recalling the traumatic experience to ELLE, she said: “After giving birth, your placenta is supposed to come out. But mine was stuck.

“That’s what women usually die from in childbirth – you haemorrhage and bleed to death and they can’t stop it.

“To get it out – it’s so disgusting – the doctor had to stick his whole arm in me and scrape it off. It was the most painful.”

The couple also have daughter North, five.
