Kim Kardashian, Kanye West welcome baby boy

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed a baby boy Saturday morning.

Kardashian posted the announcement on her website.

“To our fans: Kanye and I welcome our baby boy,” it reads.

The post continues: "Mother and son are doing well."

Kardashian, 35, gave birth weeks ahead of her initial due date, which was expected to be Christmas Day. Health risks led her to push the date up and induce birth.

"With the issues I had last time, my risk of having preeclampsia and placenta accreta are increased and there's not a whole lot I can do to prevent it, so my anxiety is a little high leading up to my delivery," Kardashian wrote in a recent blog post.

The couple's first child, 2-year-old North West, was born five weeks early when Kardashian was forced to deliver the baby after her blood pressure spiked and health concerns arose.

The celebrity couple has not released the name of their baby boy, but Kardashian told People they wouldn't name the baby South. Kardashian also said her husband didn't like the name Easton.

“I don’t think we’ll go with another direction," she said.

Kardashian and West were married in 2014.
