It was recently gathered that Kim Kardashian and husband, Kanye West have hired a surrogate to have their third child.

TMZ reports that the deal will cost the couple $113,850 a decision the pair have made since discovering that Kim suffered from placenta accreta – a condition that makes another pregnancy life-threatening.

It’s thought that the couple have used an agency to source a surrogate, and that they will pay her $45k in 10 monthly instalments of $4,500.

The initial deposit that the married couple will pay the surrogate’s agency, is said to be a whopping $68,850.

TMZ also states that, should the pregnancy produce more than one child, the surrogate will receive an additional $5k per extra child ($5k extra for twins, $10k extra for triplets and so forth). If the surrogate loses reproductive organs during the process, she will be paid $4k.
