Kris Jenner insists that the father of her new granddaughter North, Kanye West, “does not have a short temper”.
Kris Jenner, 57, had viewers scratching their heads when she made the admission whilst appearing on The Talk on Friday.
The mother-of-six was shown a video clip from last week when her daughter Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend lost his cool after a photographer kindly complimented his music.
When asked what she thought about Kanye West’s behavior, Kris Jenner said: “Knowing Kanye and I do know him very, very well and I am very close to him…he doesn’t have a short temper like everybody thinks.”
While the cameraman in question was merely complimenting Kanye West on his collaboration with Jay-Z on their hit album Watch The Throne, Kris Jenner said she thinks that the singer was most likely pushed to the edge.
“I think what happens with anybody who gets upset over something with paparazzi-related issues is that they are obviously provoked to an extent that we see nothing about,” the momager said.
“So we don’t know, I don’t know. I am just only seeing this for the first time. So I don’t know what happened before that so I don’t want to comment or judge on something when I wasn’t there.”
“I think none of us know the fifteen minutes that happened before that and how crazy they could have gotten.”
Kris Jenner insists Kanye West does not have a short temper as she attempts to explain Kanye his outburst at photographer who complimented his music
In TMZ‘s clip, Kanye West is seen “lashing out” at one of their cameramen after the snapper simply tried to tell him how much he admires his canon of work.
Kanye West had just arrived at Los Angeles International Airport when the incident occurred.
“Don’t talk, don’t talk to me,” the rapper yelled at the photographer.
He then spiraled off into an angry stream of consciousness rant: “I don’t want to hear paparazzi talk to me or anybody I know and tell everybody never talk to anyone that anyone knows.”
But it was when the videographer asked if there’ll be another collaboration between Kanye West and best buddy Jay-Z – after telling the star he loved him – Kanye flipped.
He was seen charging back the cameraman and appearing to reach for his equipment.
As well as claiming that Kanye West is not so notoriously short tempered as everybody thinks, Kris Jenner also summed up the aggressive reaction to “sleep deprivation”.
After viewing the footage, fame-hungry Kris Jenner gushed about how much she loved the rapper.
“First of all, I love that man, I do. He is a great guy,” she gushed.
“I think he was just a little sleep deprived… because of the baby, probably, I don’t know.”
And when one of the panellist joked that Kris Jenner was not getting as much attention from the paparazzi since the outburst, Kris attempted a little joke that somewhat fell flat.
“Is that what this about? I tried to buy a couple of them coffee this morning and they wouldn’t even take that,” she said with a laugh.
This is the second time Kris has defended her daughters’ partners in one week as both Kanye West and Khloe Kardashian’s husband Lamar Odom become increasingly fed up with constantly being under the spotlight by association with the media hungry clan.

Kim Kardashian has finally broken her silence over the birth of North West in a blog.
Kim Kardashian, 32, who gave birth to her daughter with Kanye West at Cedars Sinai hospital in LA on June 15, wrote: “These past couple of weeks have been filled with the most exciting experiences of my life.”
Kim Kardashian has finally broken her silence over the birth of North West in a blog
“I’m enjoying this time to fully embrace motherhood and spend time at home with my family.
“I’ve been reading all of your messages and want to thank you all for your sweet thoughts and best wishes.
|It truly means everything to me. I am so blessed to have the support of my family and fans in this beautiful moment.”
Kim Kardashian says she “can’t believe how maternal she is on her own”, a source told US magazine.
“Breast-feeding is working for her and she already feels she has bonding with Nori.”
And she has apparently made her first public outing following the birth of her daughter.
Kim Kardashian was allegedly spotted as she tried to travel incognito in her nanny’s car in Southern California.
Kanye West’s A.P.C. menswear collection sold out within a matter of hours after it went on sale on the brand’s website – and the heavy stream of traffic even caused the site to crash.
The collaboration – which features T-shirts, sweatshirts and jeans priced between $120 and $280 – was available for pre-order, and it is not known when a second drop of products will be expected.
APC creative director Jean Touitou, who worked with Kanye West on the new collection, told W Magazine that because of Kanye West’s “strong obsessions”, it took two years to create just three items.
“Basically, he wants to redo the whole universe,” explained Jean Touitou.
“When we finally finished this collection, I felt like, Okay, if I made this happen, then I can achieve peace in the Middle East.”

Jean Touitou said the resulting jeans, T-shirt and hoodie are “precious” pieces to both he and Kanye West “because it took time and thoughts to get there”.
He admitted to GQ that he had no idea who Kanye West was when they first met more than two years ago.
“A visitor to the A.P.C. studio was announced to me as <<Kenny>>. He wanted my advice on the fashion industry. . . He had nice manners and spoke about losing his mother in a surgery accident, about losing his girlfriend too, and about how difficult doing the right thing in fashion was.
“After a while, I was curious to know what this gentleman was currently doing in his life. I simply asked him: <<May I know what your trade is, sir?>> He took his shades down, so that finally I could see his eyes, and answered me: <<I am a hip hop artist>>.”
The collaboration between Kanye West and Jean Touitou was announced on last weekend via the APC Instagram feed, with an image of blue jeans featuring a red label bearing the words “A.P.C. KANYE”.
The caption read: “A.P.C. KANYE CAPSULE COLLECTION, JULY 14. #apc #kanyewest [sic].”
According to People magazine, APC has restocked some items and is accepting pre-orders for other sold-out items.
The A.P.C. collaboration follows the launch of Kanye West’s high-end womenswear line, which was widely panned by critics when it launched in 2011.
Kanye West, 36, who moved to Rome to work as an intern for Fendi as part of his research, was accused of “lack[ing in] creative marksmanship” and his efforts a “stupendously vacuous enterprise”.
His follow-up collections have since received a warmer reception, though Kanye West believes that the press has it the wrong way around.
“The first collection was way better than the second,” he said.
“It was more artful. It was 30 collections in one. It just takes time for me to slow down and think like a normal person.”

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and their daughter North have been living in Kris Jenner’s since the baby birth on June 15.
But Kim Kardashian, 32, initially had some serious reservations about moving in with mother Kris Jenner, and is now rumored to be upping sticks.
In a preview for Sunday’s episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian is not convinced as Kris Jenner urges her to move in.
Kim Kardashian had been looking at rental properties but her mother and manager offered her another option.
“You don’t want to be all the way on the other side and you need one of us,” Kris Jenner told her heavily pregnant daughter.
“You’re going to be isolated in Beverly Hills with a baby.”
She went on: “Live with me in this gorgeous house. That would be the perfect scenario.”
But Kim Kardashian wasn’t so keen – because she “hates” the black and white interior of her mother’s home.
“I can’t take a shower in a black shower,” she whined.
In a surprisingly endearing turn, Kris Jenner then attempted to win Kim Kardashian over to the shower by saying that she feels “like a ninja” in it.
But the move was simply met by silence from Kim Kardashian and sister Kourtney and a pitying laugh from Kendall Jenner.

Kim Kardashian was determined to finish her rant and said: “The toilet paper’s black. I like to see what I’m s****ing and what I’m wiping.”
And she had the full support of her big sister Kourtney on the matter at hand.
Kourtney Kardashian, 34, wide-eyed and serious, said: “The toilet paper also leaves little black dots in your v**.”
Kris Jenner, 57, thought of the perfect solution to the problem by offering to buy white toilet paper, but a part of Kim Kardashian still remained unconvinced.
She told the cameras: “I just know I’m going to get crazy and I’ll go crazy living here. I don’t know what to do.”
The preview comes as reports have emerged that Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and baby North have now found a mansion to rent until renovations are complete on their Bel Air home.
A source told Radar Online: “Kim and Kanye have finally settled on a temporary mansion for their family to move into. It should be ready for them to move in the next two weeks.
“It’s over 8,000 square feet and offers complete privacy, which was a big concern of Kanye’s. The security system is being upgraded and Nori’s nursery is being outfitted with surveillance cameras.”
And North’s safety is apparently of utmost concern for rapper Kanye West.
The insider added: “When it comes to Nori’s safety, Kanye isn’t taking any chances. Kim has had stalkers in the past, so nothing is being left to chance.
“Of course, Kim wants everything to be perfect immediately for their temporary residence, even though it’s a rental. Family pictures are being hung on the walls in the house, and Kim is talking about painting Nori’s room.”
Kanye West unleashed his anger as his unfinished video for new single Black Skinhead was leaked online.
Kanye West, 36, posted six increasingly angry tweets insisting websites remove the rough draft of the video.
“Allow me and Nick [Knight] to give the world what we’ve been losing sleep over,” the singer tweeted.
Kanye West explained that he and video director Nick Knight had been working on the video for five months and “for creatives it’s heartbreaking when something like this happens”.
His last tweet on the subject was directed at the source of the illicit video and was not quite as polite.
“And to who ever leaked the video.. F*** You!”
Kanye West was furious after his unfinished video for new single Black Skinhead was leaked online
The three-and-a-half minute clip showed Kanye West with CGI effects and dancing around to the track with his shirt off in computer-animated black-and-white imagery.
The video was shot by British photographer Nick Knight who recently photographed the controversial rapper in an artsy spread for W magazine.
Nick Knight in 2001 directed his first video for Björk for her song Pagan Poetry and in 2011 directed the video for Lady Gaga’s single Born This Way.
Kanye West released his sixth studio album Yeezus last month and Black Skinhead was released as the album’s first single last week.
The album has received positive reviews and marked Kanye West’s sixth consecutive number one debut.
Kris Jenner revealed that when it came time for Kim Kardashian and partner Kanye West to name their baby daughter, the momager “stayed out of that” decision.
While appearing on the Huffington Post Live, Kris Jenner insisted that her granddaughter North West’s name was a “joint decision” between daughter Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
“They did it together,” Kris Jenner told host Marc Lamont Hill on Monday.

“I stayed out of that one. I did the same thing with Kourtney when she named Mason and Penelope.”
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed the blessed child three weeks early on June 15.
“Kim sort of explained it to me,” Kris Jenner said of the curious moniker.
“North is the highest power. And their baby North, their little girl, is the highest point and power between the two of them. So I thought that was really cool.
“When a baby’s born and you give it a name and you’re really sure about it…that’s just going to be that baby’s energy. So I’m excited.”
Kris Jenner has been slowly revealing details about little “Nori” while promoting her upcoming Fox talk show Kris, which premieres next Monday.
Kris Jenner shot down rumors that Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and baby North have moved into her own Calabasas mansion.
But the momager did reveal that the new family have moved into a private residence nearby.
“She’s living in a residence nearby. She’s doing great,” Kris Jenner told host Marc Lamont Hill during an interview on Huffington Post Live.
“She sold her house and bought a new one. She’s renovating [her new] house, so she is not ready yet [to move in yet],” she added.
Kris Jenner, 57, also said that she was not looking after baby North West just yet, but visiting a lot.

The Kardashian matriarch also told Marc Lamont Hill that North West’s name was agreed on by both Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, and explained the meaning of the name for the couple.
“I think they did it together yeah, for sure,” she said.
“Kim explained it to me, she said <<North is the highest power>> Their baby North is the highest point of power between the two of them.”
Marc Lamont Hill pressed Kris Jenner about whether or not her daughter and Kanye West were going to get married and if she approved.
“If they want to,” she said, adding that she had ‘no idea’ whether or not Kim wanted to marry the father of her child.
That is when Marc Lamont Hill took his own opportunity to get Kris Jenner to spill the beans about whether baby North west would appear on the show.
“Speaking of which, are they are going to come on the show?” he asked.
“Maybe,” Kris Jenner replied with a wink.
Rumors that Kim Kardashian’s baby daughter North West would make her big debut on her grandmother Kris Jenner’s upcoming self-titled talk show Kris were shot down last week.
However, in a new interview on the Today Show with Matt Lauer on Monday morning, Kris Jenner revealed that it still may be on the cards.
Kris Jenner, 57, hinted that either pictures of her three-week-old granddaughter North may be shown on her show or perhaps the newborn, her mother Kim Kardashian and father Kanye West would do an on-air appearance.
When asked flat out by Matt Lauer if baby North would make her big debut on her show, Kris Jenner laughed: “Well, that’s ambitious. I think you’re just going to have to wait and see and tune in because I am not sure if that is going to happen.”
When Matt Lauer pressed even further, Kris Jenner could not contain her coy smile.
Kris Jenner hinted that either pictures of her three-week-old granddaughter North may be shown on her show or perhaps the newborn
“Tell me right now it will not happen, you WILL NOT be showing first-time baby photos the first week of your show,” he challenged.
“I won’t tell you it won’t happen,” Kris Jenner replied.
“Give you a little something to think about. You never know who is going to show up.”
In the meantime, Kris Jenner gave Matt Lauer his very own sneak peek at baby North West by showing him a picture of the tiny tot on her iPhone.
During her appearance on The Today Show, Kris Jenner also revealed her plans to have a different famous co-host each week on her new programme, including the likes of P. Diddy, Maria Menounos and Nene Leakes.
Kris Jenner’s hints about baby North West’s long awaited debut come after it was reported that Kim Kardashian was planning to sell the first picture of her and Kanye West’s daughter to a magazine after considering a $2 million dollar offer – which she plans to donate to charity.
According to TMZ, Kim Kardashian had turned down the idea of appearing on her mother’s show in favour of a shoot.
Kris Jenner’s long awaited show will debut on July 15th, so it’s not too surprising that the momager wanted a big splash to open with, particularly after promising lots of content from her family.
The website claimed that Kim Kardashian, 32, had not yet decided on an offer but was offered a whopping $2 million from one magazine.
It was thought that Kanye West was the one behind the decision as he is believed to be keen to maintain some level of privacy for their daughter.
It’s thought little North West also won’t feature on the next season of Keep Up With The Kardashians, which is no doubt set to cause cracks within the family.
The first picture of Kim Kardashian since she gave birth emerged at the end of last month on Khloe Kardashian’s Facebook page.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West apparently took a step towards independence on July Fourth by toting their baby daughter North to a fun family party.
The party was at Bruce Jenner’s summer rental in Malibu, thrown on July 4th so the family could watch the public fireworks from their home.
It was apparently North West’s first family outing, according to Us Weekly.
North West, born five weeks early, left hospital June 21.

Party photos from that weekend show Kendall and Kylie Jenner playing by the water and hanging on the balcony with Kylie’s rumoured boyfriend, actor Jaden Smith.
Another source told the magazine Kim Kardashian, 32, and Kanye West, 36, are having a great time cooing over their daughter.
“They are both so in love with their little girl,” said the source.
Apparently Kanye West “doesn’t leave North for more than an hour”.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, who have been dating for almost two years, have not detailed any plans for a wedding.
Kim Kardashian is reportedly planning to sell the first picture of her and Kanye West’s baby to a magazine after considering a $2 million dollar offer – which she plans to donate to charity.
The news is unlikely to go down well with Kris Jenner who had reportedly been hoping to unveil the baby on her chat show in order to boost her ratings.

Meanwhile Kim Kardashian’s trainer Tracy Anderson has hinted that the reality star has lost some of her famous vanity now she is a new mother.
“From our talks during her pregnancy, I thought she was going to be really concerned [about her weight] once the baby was out, but she’s not,” said trainer Tracy Anderson.
Speaking to UsWeekly, she said: “It’s a tough time, and a lot of women feel like it’s a huge mountain to climb to get back.
“But Kim, surprisingly, has had the total opposite reaction [than] other moms.”
“She’s like, <<We’re going to be so good. It’s fun, I feel great!>>. She just loves the whole process.”
Tracy Anderson also revealed that Kim Kardashian is in “baby heaven” before adding: “She’s excited to get started, but she’s really calm about it all.”
Kim Kardashian’s been strangely enigmatic since giving birth to her daughter North West and now she has shown up on Khloe’s Facebook page looking exhausted and enjoying a nap with Khloe and Lamar Odom’s boxer pup, Bernard.
Khloe Kardashian, 29, accompanied the picture with the caption: “I love my lil baby so much,” in an obvious reference to Bernard.
She didn’t make it clear when the picture was taken.
Kim Kardashian finally broke her silence on Thursday – and it wasn’t about her baby.

The new mother accompanied her greeting with photos of them together from the past and the present.
First she tweeted a collage of photos showing the Kardashian siblings when they were little, including a family portrait of them with their late father Robert.
“Then- @khloekardashian The birthday girl! I love you so much!!!!” Kim Kardashian wrote.
Kim Kardashian then tweeted a collage of photos showing her with her siblings with the caption: “Now- @khloekardashian. The most loyal & supportive person on the planet! Life wouldn’t be the same without you Kokes!”
Kim Kardashian, 32, and her boyfriend Kanye West, 36, are ensconced in Kris Jenner’s six-bedroom Hidden Hills, California, mansion after making a middle-of-the-night escape from the Cedars-Sinai hospital on Friday.
While the first-time parents are spending every second with baby daughter North – affectionately known as Nori – they have also employed the services of a 24/7 nurse, according Us Weekly.
“Kim can’t believe how maternal she is on her own,” a source told the publication, adding: “She is breastfeeding constantly… [it] is working for her and she already feels she has bonded with Nori.”
Kim Kardashian is reportedly breastfeeding constantly baby daughter North West.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are taking well to parenthood as they spend their first week home with baby North
Apparently Kim Kardashian’s sister Kourtney – mother to Mason and Penelope – was a driving force behind Kim’s decision to breastfeed, according to Life & Style magazine.
“[Kim Kardashian] wasn’t going to, but Kourtney is a huge proponent of breastfeeding,” an insider told the publication.
“Kourtney also told [Kim] how much [breastfeeding] helped her lose the baby weight,” after she breastfed son Mason, aged three, for 14 months, and plans to not wean Penelope, who is almost one-year-old, for another year.
Baby North has even brought her lofty father Kanye West, 36, down to earth, with the birth having been a very emotional experience for him.
North West was born five weeks early, weighing in at 4 lbs 15oz on June 15.
Understandably Kanye West is feeling renewed heartache over the loss of his mother Donda who died aged 58 in 2007.
“It’s made him miss his mom very much,” the insider went on.
“He wishes she could see his beautiful baby girl.”
Kanye West, whose new album Yeezus shot to the top of the Billboard 200 chart this week after sales of 327,000 copies in its first week, is also learning how to swaddle, with mixed reports about whether he is getting stuck in on diaper duty.
“The rapper has been changing diapers,” according to People, although Us Weekly reports he has drawn the line at this task.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are staying with her mother Kris Jenner, 57, step father Bruce, 63, and her half sisters Kendall, 17, and Kylie, 15.
Her siblings Kourtney, 34, and Khloe, 29, are also regular visitors and “everybody’s trying to help”.
Kris Jenner has been making Kim Kardashian’s favorite foods, including French toast, while at the same time spending time in their Malibu holiday home to give the new parents some privacy, Us Weekly reports.
And on Tuesday Kris Jenner was in New York for a TV appearance.
The magazine claims that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will soon be moving out into rented accommodation while renovations on their $9 million, 9,000-sq-ft home in Bell Air, Los Angeles, continue.
It has also been reported that Kanye West proposed to Kim Kardashian days after North arrived.

The baby, who is seen wrapped in a blanket, could easily pass for being the child of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, who was born June 15.
But sources have confirmed that the photo Kim Kardashian sent around was a fake with two images of a baby that is not Kim and Kanye West’s now appearing online.
It seems Kim Kardashian wanted to test the principals of several of her friends as the world waits for a first glimpse of her child.
A second picture of a different baby, which is also believed not to be North West, has been doing the rounds, TMZ claims.
Kim Kardashian left hospital on Thursday and is currently getting used to being a new mother.

Prior to that Kim Kardashian was married to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 until 2004.
Kanye West opens up about everything including his “true love” Kim Kardashian in a revealing new interview after the rapper spent several days with a W magazine journalist.
Also documented in the scrolling W magazine interview is a rather awkward moment between Kanye West, 36, and Kim Kardashian’s mother Kris Jenner – witnessed by the publication’s writer Chris Bagley.
Chris Bagley got a candid peek into Kanye West’s life with visits to his apartment in Paris, where the rapper worked on his sixth studio album Yeezus, which was released last week.
Kanye West’s clashes with the media and paparazzi alike are well documented, yet he agreed to take part in the protracted interview (despite having a degree of reluctance, Chris Bagley notes).
But with an album to promote, publicity comes calling – and Kanye West certainly knows how to get it.
One of the topics covered – his highly publicized relationship with Kim Kardashian, 32, who gave birth to their daughter North West just over a week ago.
Kim Kardashian’s outfits have attracted plenty of attention of late, with Kanye West – who also has his own fashion line – being seen as influencing her choices.
However, Kanye West told W magazine he is not masterminding Kim Kardashian’s look as much as people might think – more giving her a foundation from which to build.
“Nobody can tell my girl what to do,” he said.
“She just needed to be given some platforms of information to work from.”
As is common throughout the interview, Kanye West seems to do an about turn as he continues to discuss the matter.

“For her to take that risk in front of the world, it just shows you how much she loves me. And how much she actually loves the opportunity to learn,” Kanye West explains, now apparently suggesting he is masterminding Kim
Kardashian’s wardrobe.
Elsewhere in the interview, which was conducted before the arrival of baby North, Kanye West gives his own take on Kim Kardashian’s famous and much talked of “curves”.
Kanye West also referred to a home recording he made with an unidentified woman in a hotel room, before he and Kim Kardashian got together.
Last year there were reports the tape was being shopped to the highest bidder – and Kanye West says he was even considering releasing it himself to avoid the threat of extortion.
“For the most part, I’d rather people have one of those home videos than some of the paparazzi photos that get published,” he explained.
“At least I recorded the s**t myself. That tape couldn’t have hurt me in any way if it came out – it could only have helped.”
While he decided against releasing it, there no saying he won’t change his mind. As he bluntly put it: “Now, I just do exactly what I want, whenever I want, how the f**k I want… “F**k you” is my message.”
Kanye West explains his “superobsession” now is “furniture”. Furniture is probably on his mind more now than ever, as he and Kim Kardashian are overhauling their 9,000sq.ft mansion which they recently bought in a gated community in Los Angeles.
While it is being renovated, though, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West (and baby North) are going to be living with her mother Kris Jenner – which could make for some interesting encounters based on one somewhat awkward one which was witnessed by W magazine writer Chris Bagley.
Chris Bagley describes a scenario in which he arrived at Kanye West’s Paris apartment at 10 p.m. at night to find some of the Kardashian clan in the house, including Kim’s brother Rob and her mother Kris.
Kris Jenner is looking around the apartment for the first time, and admiring the finery, including a set of designer ceramic cups, the interviewer notes.
Then Kanye West plays her some of his unfinished songs, “including [the track] Awesome which is clearly about Kim”, Chris Bagley writes.
Kris Jenner then exclaims: “Great job.”
However, it seems Kanye West doesn’t find Kris Jenner’s simplistic critique quite lyrically pleasing enough.
As Chris Bagley observed: “He raises his eyebrows. <<Great job?>> he says and sets off on a comic riff that cracks up everyone in the room.
“Toasting with his champagne glass, he says, <<Great job, Baccarat, for making a glass that can hold liquid!>> He looks down at his waist. <<Great job, belt loops, for keeping my pants up!>>”
Kris Jenner laughs politely, shortly afterwards hugging Kanye West goodbye and tells him: “I love you. You know where to find us, at the George V. Call us tomorrow, if you want.”
However, Chris Bagley notes in an aside: “It seems apparent to everyone, including Jenner, that West will not call.”
OUTTAKES: KANYE WEST SOUNDBITES FROM W MAGAZINE INTERVIEW
On appearing on Keeping Up With The Kardashians: “Oh, that’s just all for love. It’s simply that. At a certain point, or always, love is more important than any branding, or any set of cool people, or attempting to impress anyone. Because true love is just the way you feel.”
On his track I am God (which he collaborated on with Daft Punk): “I made that song because I am a god. I don’t think there’s much more explanation. I’m not going to sit here and defend s**t. That s**t is rock ’n’ roll, man. That s**t is rap music. I am a god. Now what?”
On how seriously to take him: “You should only believe about 90 percent of what I say. As a matter of fact, don’t even believe anything that I’m saying at all. I could be completely f***ing with you, and the world, the entire time.”
On being rich: “I’m not a billionaire; I’m just a millionaire. But I’m the youngest guy I know who has this much interest in design and the ability to actually get some of it. So that makes me an important cog in the wheel.”

It was revealed that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have named their baby daughter North West.
Sources close to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West confirmed the decision.
The revelation ends the intense speculation over the child’s name, with other rumored options said to include Kaidence Donda, in honor of Kanye West’s late mother.
A source told UsWeekly that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have already given their daughter a nickname – she will be “Nori for short”.
They added that the child has no middle name.
TMZ witnessed a birth certificate with the name North West signed by Kim Kardashian, 32, and Kanye West, 36, at Cedars-Sinai hospital.
People magazine confirmed the news with a source close to the Kardashian family.
The name North had previously been suggested as a possibility for the child, although many Kardashian fans had dismissed the idea as a joke.
And the revelation certainly proved fruitful amongst Twitter users, as North West began trending within minutes.
It also sparked a slew of jokes from would-be comedians amused by the choice.
Back in March, Kim Kardashian denied rumors that Kanye West wanted to name the baby North
Back in March, Kim Kardashian denied rumors that Kanye West wanted to name the baby North.
“I do like Easton, Easton West,” Kim Kardashian joked on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno at the time.
Indeed prior to the baby’s birth last Saturday it had been expected that the pair would continue the “K” theme that runs in Kim Kardashian’s family – which is something that Kim has spoken about in the past.
While North was to prove her final choice, Kim Kardashian was said to be very keen on Kaidence, to match her family’s fondness of the letter “K”.
The reality star was reported to like the idea of calling the baby Kai for short.
Kim Kardashian’s due date was reportedly July 12 – just one day after Kate Middleton.
The date would also have been Kanye West’s mother Donda West’s 64th birthday.

According to reports, Kim Kardashian can’t wait to get back in the gym and regain her slim figure after giving birth to her baby daughter.

“She has over 30 bouquets from loved ones,” a source said.
“She told everyone not to bring sweets – she said she doesn’t need any temptations.”

It is believed that Kim Kardashian and her daughter, whose name is yet to be revealed, will stay in hospital until the baby, who was born five weeks prematurely, reaches five pounds.

The rapper’s creative juices have been flowing since he welcomed his daughter into the world.
“He’s been really inspired by the birth,” a source told Life & Style.
“He’s written four songs already.”

“Kanye is actually really being good right now,” the source said.
Kim Kardashian is unsurprisingly enamored with her child and gushed to a friend that the little one “is so cute and sweet”, according to Us Weekly.
