Kanye West: Kim Kardashian Is Pregnant

By Rolling Stone | Rolling Stone – Mon, Dec 31, 2012 9:00 AM EST

That's one way to break the news: Kim Kardashian is pregnant, boyfriend Kanye West announced in a roundabout way onstage last night in Atlantic City. "Stop the music for a second," West said with a grin midway through "Lost in the World." "Can we make some noise for my baby mama right quick?"

Soon Kardashian's name was trending on Twitter, and though neither she nor West have tweeted about the pregnancy, the reality TV star's family quickly chimed in. "Been wanting to shout from the rooftops with joy and now I can!" sister Kourtney Kardashian tweeted. "Another angel to welcome to our family. Overwhelmed with excitement!" Her other sister Khloe exclaimed,"Keeping secrets is hard with so many family members! Especially when you are so freaking excited!!!!! LOVE is everything!!!!"  

West and Kardashian started dating this past spring, a relationship West celebrated in song when he played an unreleased track called "Perfect Bitch" at a listening party in New York in August. The child will be the first for both parents. 

The pregnancy announcement came during the last of three shows West performed in Atlantic City, where he wore several bizarre masks the first night and went on a classic Kanye rant the second.
