Kim Kardashian has revealed the reason why she didn’t invite her surrogate to the baby shower of her third child.
During an Interview on The Real, the reality TV star said she didn’t want her there because she was yet to explain who the surrogate was to the kids.
“I did not invite the surrogate, I did introduce her to my family. I introduced her to my family earlier that day. And, you know, I just thought, I don’t know, it was like a weird decision to have to make. Of course, I would’ve wanted her to be there and be a part of it, but I hadn’t really gone that far in explaining it to my kids yet. So I have to figure that out first before they really see and then if we’re celebrating, you know, her, I just want to celebrate the baby. I think I have to explain it to my kids first and figure out how I’m going to explain it to them.”
According to her, the surrogate didn’t know on time that she would be carrying her and Kanye West’s baby.
“You could do it totally anonymously, you could go that route and I just felt like I wanted whoever’s carrying my baby, like what if they weren’t a fan of me or my husband and what if they didn’t want to be carrying our baby? I wanted to give them that choice and be like, proud and on the same page, I wanted a relationship with her.”
She further said she was really happy when she found out she would be carrying their baby.
“She was, you know, someone that had watched the show, not like a super fan or anything, that would have been uncomfortable, but she had seen my struggle and seen how open I was about it. So she was really proud to do it and really excited.”
Adding that, she decided to have a baby via surrogacy because she couldn’t carry her own child due to a life threatening condition.
“I really didn’t have a choice, I, at this point, couldn’t get pregnant and we wanted to expand our family. So the fact that that is something that you can do, and it’s really taboo to talk about and people don’t really understand it, I mean, even throwing my baby shower, do I need a baby shower? What do I do? I thought I wanted to because I wanted North to experience a party, like, something’s coming, someone’s coming. We’re going to welcome our little sister.’ So I think that…that really like got everyone in the mood.”
