It’s official, the couples’ son has been given the title of a deity – quite literally – after naming their bub Saint West.
Kim Kardashian, 35, and Kanye West, 38 added to their family on Saturday with the safe arrival of their second child.
Up until now, Kimye have kept their son’s name under wraps, with rumours flying they took a while to both agree on the moniker.
Naturally, the social media savvy reality star took to her subscription-based website on Monday to reveal her son’s very holy title.
Alongside an emoji line-up of her family, Kim simply wrote: “Saint West, 12.05.15, 8 pounds 1 ounce.” She also tweeted the name next to the same cute cartoon pic.
Kim and her family’s strong Christian faith has been well-documented on Keeping Up With The Kardashians and in April she and Kanye made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem to baptise North.
Meanwhile, a pal tells US Weekly Kimye affectionately nicknamed their son Saint during her pregnancy as he was such a blessing following Kim’s struggles to conceive.
Earlier this year, the mum-of-two spoke to Ellen about the difficulty of the name game.
“I do like the name Easton, Easton West,” she told the talk show host, “I don’t think my husband likes that name, but I do like it. I don’t think we’ll go another direction. It’s definitely not South, every time someone says South, I just roll my eyes.”
Indeed, after calling their first daughter North West we’ve come to expect unique things from this couple.
Suspicion was rife the famous pair were going to name their child Robert after an insider told Us Weekly they wanted to pay tribute to Kim’s late father.
“I know they were doing Robert for the middle name in honour of her father,” the well-placed pal told the magazine. However, just like with they’re first child, they’ve decided to forgo having a middle name.
Kim’s reported luxury hospital room and Cedar-Sinai Hospital.
Kim and Kanye are already the proud parents to two-year-old North West.
According to People magazine, just like her older sister Kourtney, Kim delivered her bub in a luxury three-bedroom maternity suite at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in LA, costing approximately $4170 to $6000 a night.
People also reported that big sister Kourtney was with Kim during her labour.
Welcome to the world Saint, we can’t wait to get to know you!
