Kanye West and Kim Kardashian May Have Chosen the Sex of Their Baby

Some of you aren't dutiful in watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians, so we'll catch you up to speed. The 10th season of the hit reality show has documented, among other things, Kim's harrowing attempt to have a second child. Though it seemed nearly impossible from the footage shown to the public, at the end of May, she and her husband Kanye West announced their pregnancy. And although the couple initially distanced themselves from speculation as to the new child's sex, on Fathers Day, Kim announced via her Twitter that she is expecting a boy. (Kim and Kanye's first child, North, celebrated her second birthday this month.) But how that new child came to be a boy might not have been just luck. Us Weekly cites a source close to the couple who says the pair underwent in-vitro fertilization and, in the process, chose only to implant male embryos. “Kanye and Kim are so excited to complete their family,” a source tells the magazine. “Kanye loves Nori more than anything, but to make his world complete, he wanted a little boy, an heir."

West, whose last album was 2013's divisive Yeezus, has been teasing new music for the entirety of 2015. New Years Eve saw the release of "Only One," a Paul McCartney collaboration that was dedicated to both North and his late mother, Donda. That was followed by "FourFiveSeconds," where McCartney and West teamed up with Rihanna, in a song that is presumably intended for her album. His most recent single, "All Day," features Theophilus London and Allan Kingdom. More recently, The Daily Mail reports that Kim is grateful to Kanye for encouraging her to release her Kim Kardashian: Hollywood game.
