Kim Kardashian West accidentally CONFIRMS the gender of her third child

Kim Kardashian has spilled the beans on the gender of her third baby and confirmed she's expecting a little girl.

The reality TV star, who's expecting her third child via surrogate, let it slip that the baby she's expecting is a little girl.

Kim made the accidental revelation on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show, while talking about how four-year-old North is coping with the fact that she'll have another sibling soon.

Saying that one of the reasons she organised a baby shower was to make the little big sister understand what's coming, she revealed that North refers to the baby as 'baby sister'. 'We had a baby shower over the weekend, and I thought, "You know, I really do want to have a baby shower because I want [North] to feel that something's coming and for her to really understand it&".

'So, people brought toys and gifts and [North] was opening them all up the next day. And she goes, "Mom, since Baby Sister's not here, I think I need all of her toys in my room and play with them and make sure they're all okay for Baby Sister."', she said.

Surprised by the revelation, Ellen replied: 'She's a toy tester... and you just told us it's a girl.'

Kim, who's also mum to one-year-old Saint, confirmed the exciting news that her and Kanye will become parents for the third time to a baby girl, and continued to say that North has made an interesting suggestion for the name.

'She has a toy, a llama. She named it Star West. She names everything Star West', Kim said.

But it sounds like North's baby name suggestion won't make it to the birth certificate, as Kim told Ellen she's not 'vibing with it'.

Fans started to guess that Kim would be welcoming a baby girl after pictures of her baby shower emerged over the weekend.

The Kardashian gathered her clan to celebrate the arrival of her third child with a cherry-blossom themed shower, and the pink decorations led fans to guess the baby's gender correctly, as it turns out.
