Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are expecting their third child with a surrogate, according to reports.

The famous couple are said to be “over the moon” after finding the “perfect candidate” to carry their child after Kardashian suffered with complications during her previous pregnancies.

A source told PEOPLE: “The entire family is over the moon. Kim had been looking for a surrogate for months until recently when she found the perfect candidate.

“Given her health scares in the past, Kim felt the need to hire a surrogacy agency that helped serve as the liaison in finding a healthy woman who would be a great surrogate option for her and Kanye. Both of them have been super involved in the process.”

Kardashian has reportedly put a schedule in place for the surrogate to follow, including a strict meal plan.

“They want everything to be perfect and for the baby to be extremely healthy,” the source continued. “They don’t want any complications and Kim is providing an ideal eating regimen and diet so everyone knows what the baby is consuming before it’s born.”

Kardashian and West already have daughter North, four, and one-year-old son Saint. She suffered with placenta accreta during her pregnancies as well as toxaemia - toxins in the blood from infection - while carrying Saint.

Standard Online has contacted representatives for Kardashian for comment.

Last year she opened up about her desire to have another baby, but was warned by her mother Kris Jenner that she could “bleed to death”.

Speaking on Keeping Up With The Kardashians in November she said: “Lately I've been thinking I would love to maybe have another baby.

“But like I had two really difficult pregnancies and really difficult deliveries so getting pregnant again it's something that does concern me.”

The news comes hours after she hit the headlines with a naked Instagram post.

Kardashian entertained her 102 million followers by sharing a black and white picture of herself in a tree wearing nothing but a pair of boots and only two black stars to cover her modesty.
