5 Celebrities Who Used A Surrogate Like Kim Kardashian And Kanye West

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West confirmed that they hired a surrogate to carry their third child, according to reports. Kardashian has been vocal about her past health problems during pregnancy.

"The entire family is over the moon. Kim had been looking for a surrogate for months until recently when she found the perfect candidate," a source confirmed to People Sept. 28. "Given her health scares in the past, Kim felt the need to hire a surrogacy agency that helped serve as the liaison in finding a healthy woman who would be a great surrogate option for her and Kanye."

Kim Kardashian confirmed that she would be having a third child during the season 14 promotional video for "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" last month, telling sister Khloé Kardashian: "We're having a baby!"

Kim Kardashian and West aren't the only celebrities who have hired a surrogate.
