Kardashian, Kanye West feel 'blessed' over baby news
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are feeling lucky about their first child together.
"It's true," the 32-year-old reality TV star said in a statement on her site Monday. "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."
Kardashian's father, Robert Kardashian, died in 2003. West's mother, Donda West, died in 2007.
Kardashian added in the blog post that she was "looking forward to great new beginnings in 2013 and to starting a family."
The 35-year-old rapper revealed to a crowd of more than 5,000 in song form at a concert Sunday that his girlfriend is pregnant. Kardashian was in the crowd at Revel Resort's Ovation Hall with her mother, Kris Jenner, and West's mentor and best friend, Jay-Z.
The news instantly went viral online, with thousands posting and commenting on the expecting couple.
Most of the Kardashian clan tweeted about the news, including Kim's sisters. Kourtney Kardashian wrote: "Another angel to welcome to our family. Overwhelmed with excitement!"
West told concertgoers to congratulate his "baby mom" and that this was the "most amazing thing."
Representatives for West and Kardashian didn't immediately respond to emails about the pregnancy.
The rapper and reality TV star went public with their relationship in March.
Kardashian married NBA player Kris Humphries in August 2011 and their divorce is not finalized.
West's Sunday-night show was his third consecutive performance at Revel. He took the stage for nearly two hours, performing hits like "Good Life," ''Jesus Walks" and "Clique" in an all-white ensemble with two bandmates.
Kardashian is expected to spend New Year's Eve at public appearance at a Las Vegas nightclub.

Much ado about nothings.
Â
I can just see Kim Kardashian when first told she was pregnant..."But Doctor, how you I know it's mine?"
As amoral as Mrs. Humphries lives her life, hearing the word "blessed" come out of her mouth makes me nauseous.
 @CtrlAltDelete I'm with you on that one!
Two losers having a baby.  Hopefully two negatives will equal a positive.
Who Cares...
Shameless media whores breeding to further their exposure and Twitter hit points. Â Swell....
They will make millions peddling their newfound parental status to the media...unfortunately. I feel sorry for this kid.
Adultery and a child out of wedlock. How trendy.
Oh crap there goes breakfast!!!
The Apocalypse really IS happening.
NOBODY CARES !!!!!
This isn't news and no one really cares about a woman who can't keep her legs closed for every Tom, Dick or Herry.
And who really cares?!
Kim got what she wanted....18 years of $100,000 a month child support from Kayne...
@August100 She doesn't need his money...not sticking up for her, btw, not a huge fan of either person
Congratulations Mrs. Humphries....
Gross.
I don't care, but I do need to prepare myself for 9+ months of media frenzy.
That will be one of the ugliest babies,  Kayne West's big fat head and lips with the ugly Kardashian nose, oh and the body structures of both together.. yeah great match!  If miss Kardashian had not had all those plastic surgeries she would still look like an Iranian monkey.  Reality celebrities with no talent, Mr. West must be lonely and desperate. Gross.
Poor kid...... I bet the relationship between these two super ego's will be over before the kid is born.
I feel sorry for the baby, the values that the family have as a whole are in the toilet. Hmmm...not even divorced from her last marriage, joining her sister in having a baby out-of-wedlock, the list goes on....
I feel sorry for Kim kardashian. Having a baby by west makes one sick.
Wow all her years of practice finally bear fruit.....rotten fruit, but fruit no less!
"Now you having my baby"...hopefully s/he will have a better grasp of the English language!
Great, bringing another kid into the world that has two very narcissistic parents. Real smart. Then again selfishness is the parents stock and trade.
