Huge congrats to Kim and Kanye!

Congratulations are in order for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, who are reportedly expecting their fourth child together.

Us Weekly announced earlier today that the couple are due a baby boy in the spring, although the pair have yet to confirm the news themselves.

The baby is reportedly due in March and will be the youngest sibling to the couple's three children; North, five, Saint, three, and Chicago, 11 months.

Like the couple's third child the baby is being carried via a surrogate, as Kim has a health condition known as placenta accreta, which can be life-threatening.

Sources told Us Weekly in August that the couple's remaining embryo was a boy, so there's no surprise on the gender. Meanwhile a source previously told PEOPLE that the couple 'absolutely would use the surrogate again. They love her.'

Kim and Kanye should give themselves a pat on the back for managing to keep the news under wraps until now.

We can't wait to hear news of the baby's arrival! Any guesses on a name?
