Kim Kardashian has treated fans to the first close-up of her son, Psalm – and everyone thinks she has revealed his middle name.

Kardashian welcomed her fourth child with Kanye West, via a surrogate, last month.

She posted a close-up of her son taking a nap on Tuesday with his arms behind his head.

She captioned the Instagram shot “Psalm Ye,” leading fans to speculate whether his middle name is Ye – the name of West’s eighth album.

One fan asked: Middle name is Ye?”

Another wrote: “@KimKardashian since you never gave any of your first 3 kids a middle name, what made you want to give Psalm one? #PsalmYe.”

Others were less than impressed by the alleged moniker, with one tweeting: “I could almost just get over the first name being psalm but making this child’s middle name Ye is over the line.”

Fans hailed Psalm a “beautiful angel” while others compared him to Kardashian’s father Robert, who died in September 2003.

Kardashian announced the arrival of her fourth child on Twitter, telling fans her family are “blessed beyond measure” and “have everything we need”.

Kardashian and West have three other children – daughter Chicago, who was also born via a surrogate in January 2018, son Saint, three, and five-year-old daughter North.

But Psalm isn’t the only new family member Kardashian has welcomed in recent weeks, after it was revealed former MMA champion Conor McGregor is related to the US reality star.

The Kardashians are linked to Scottish “outlaw” Robert Roy MacGregor via his father, Kenneth MacAlpin – who is also related to the UFC fighter – according to the Daily Record.

On hearing the news McGregor tweeted a pair of crossed swords alongside the words: “Welcome to the family.”
