Kim Kardashian is now a mother of four. After pulling off one of her most iconic looks at the 2019 Met Gala Monday, the beauty mogul tweeted her surrogate gave birth to baby No. 4 on Friday.
"He's here and he's perfect!" Kardashian wrote. "He's also Chicago's twin lol I'm sure he will change a lot but now he looks just like her."
Kardashian didn't tweet a picture of her newborn or reveal his name. She then went back to promoting her four new Nude Lip Liners, which launch at noon PST.
She and husband Kanye West are already parents to North, Saint and Chicago, which led many fans to assume they would pick another unconventional name for their fourth child. But that might not be the case. The reality star previously mused that she might pick a traditional name for her fourth child.
"I was truthfully thinking about naming him Rob, [after] my brother, Rob," she told Jimmy Kimmel in the beginning of April, "But then it's like North, Saint, Chicago, Rob. It doesn't really go, but I really was feeling that or like Robert, and my brother approved it."
Days before the fourth baby was born, rumors swirled the surrogate—whose identity has been kept private for security reasons—was in labor on the same day at the Met Gala. "Wait just saw news our baby boy came but that's not true! It's Met Monday, I'm in NYC. I would be at the hospital lol," she tweeted.
Kardashian gushed over the Met Gala look, where she wore a dress designed by Manfred Thierry Mugler. For the "Camp" theme, Kardashian wanted to look like a couture California girl, dripping from the sea.
"Mr. Mugler hasn't designed in 20 years & made me the most magical dripping wet dress & printed latex dress w crystals! I have to pinch myself, I am attending the Met Gala while on the cover of Vogue!!! God is good!" she wrote. "Still obsessing over my Met Gala glam!! shop my look http://kkwbeauty.com Major shout out to @makeupbymario & @chrisappleton1 for the magic!"
