Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are expecting their third child together.
They hired a surrogate to carry the baby since doctors said it's dangerous for Kardashian West to do so.
On an episode of the talk show "The Real," Kardashian West said the surrogate had no idea whose baby she was carrying.
"You could do it totally anonymously; you could go that route," Kardashian West said, adding she wanted her surrogate to know.
"I just felt like I wanted whoever's carrying my baby ... like, what if they weren't a fan of me or my husband, and what if they didn't want to be carrying our baby? I wanted to give them that choice," she explained.
"She was really excited," Kardashian West said. "She was someone that had watched the show ["Keeping Up With the Kardashians"] — not like a superfan or anything. That it would've been uncomfortable — but she had seen my struggle and seen how open I was about it. So she was really proud to do it and really excited."
Kim has previously spoken about her relationship with her surrogate and why she didn't invite her to her baby shower.
