"I think, at the space that I am in life now, kids is definitely something that I want," Kim Kardashian told Barbara Walters on The View last fall when she was discussing her relationship with Kanye West. And today word is spreading that the reality TV star is, in fact, pregnant. And from what's being reported, it was Kanye who initially broke the news.

According to E!, rapper Kanye West announced the big news to attendees of his concert in Atlantic City last night, and the entertainment news site has since confirmed it. The celebrity couple are expecting their first child together. Kim is about twelve weeks pregnant.

Though Kardashian and West have been dating for a while now, she's still technically married to Kris Humphries, though she's reportedly in the process of a divorce.

It doesn't look like Kim has commented on the pregnancy on her Twitter just yet, but she did post the following confirmation on her Celebuzz site:

It’s true!! Kanye and I are expecting a baby. We feel so blessed and lucky and wish that in addition to both of our families, his mom and my dad could be here to celebrate this special time with us. Looking forward to great new beginnings in 2013 and to starting a family. Happy New Year!!! Xo

I'm sure we can expect plenty of updates and the inevitable baby bump photos of Kardashian in the coming year. And fans will be curious to hear word of the baby's gender and what names the couple is considering. In the meantime, congratulations to West and Kardashian on their expected arrival.

Assistant Managing Editor

Kelly put her life-long love of movies, TV and books to greater use when she joined CinemaBlend as a freelance TV news writer in 2006, and went on to serve as the site’s TV Editor before joining the staff full-time in 2011 and moving over to other roles at the site. At present, she’s an Assistant Managing Editor who spends much of her time brainstorming and editing features, analyzing site data, working with writers and editors on content planning and the workflow, and (of course) continuing to obsess over the best movies and TV shows (those that already exist, and the many on the way). She graduated from SUNY Cortland with BA in Communication Studies and a minor in Cinema Studies. When she isn't working, she's probably thinking about work, or reading (or listening to a book), and making sure her cats are living their absolute best feline lives.
