UPDATE: Sometimes the rumours about Kimye turn out to be true. About two weeks ago 'sources close to Kim and Kanye' confirmed that North was getting a little brother, and now the mum-to-be has confirmed it directly. Celebrating Father's Day, Kim posted this picture on Instagram:

Congratulations to the Wests! It's time to place your bet on a name...

Previously repoted 10/06/14: We hear that the gender of Mini Kimye The Second has been revealed, and it's a... Boy! According to 'sources' who have spoken to US Weekly, that is, so take a pinch of salt before reading on. The tabloid quotes an anonymous someone who knows the couple as saying: 'Kanye loves Nori more than anything, but to make his world complete he wanted a little boy, an heir... He's overjoyed!'

Well, Heir West has a good ring to it, no?

On 1 June 2015, we wrote: After well-documented struggles to fall pregnant, former ELLE cover star Kim Kardashian is expecting her second child with husband Kanye West, it has been revealed.

The news aired at the end of the mid-season finale for the latest series of Keeping Up With The Kardashians in the US last night (naturally), with Kim saying: 'I just got the blood test back, and I am pregnant!' Talk about a cliffhanger.

While it's uncertain what the time lag is between then and now, the star has kept any physical signs of pregnancy under wraps well.

Momager (TM) Kris Jenner jumped straight onto Instagram to be first with the public congratulations.

So North is going to have to share her toy box. But how will they ever top her name?

Let speculation commence!
