The name of the newborn daughter is yet to be revealed.

According to TMZ, the couple went with surrogacy as a third pregnancy was risky for Kardashian as she suffered from placenta accreta, a serious condition during her second pregnancy.

They were believed to have hired the woman for $45,000 through an agency.
