"It’s a boy," the reality star and businesswoman added.

"What!" her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, shouted in response to Kim telling the world.

"Well, it's out there," she added about the gender reveal.

"I got drunk at our Christmas Eve party and I told some people. And I can’t remember who I told because I never get drunk," Kardashian West said.

The couple is already parents to daughter North, 5, son Saint, 3, and daughter Chicago, 11 months. A surrogate carried and gave birth to Chicago, as well.

"I was free," Johnson said Kardashian West told her this past summer. "I was going to rejoin my family."
