The 2019 Met Gala Celebrating Camp: Notes on Fashion - Arrivals

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed their fourth child together last week. Their son, born via gestational carrier, arrived on Friday (May 10) and Kim has revealed some cute details about her family's newest addition. She said her newborn was his sister Chicago's twin, as well as calling him "perfect."

Despite sharing his arrival with her followers and fans, Kim hasn't shared any photos of the little one or revealed his name. Some fans have noticed Kim's repeated use of the teddy bear emoji, though, when talking about her son's arrival. This has lead fans to speculate that Kim's baby is going to be named Bear West.

Kim added the bear emoji to multiple posts in the days after baby no. 4's birth, including photos from her CBD themed baby shower. "We celebrated our baby boy about a week ago and now he’s here! He’s so perfect! Here are some pics of my CBD baby shower," Kim wrote. "I was freaking out for nothing because he is the most calm and chill of all of my babies so far and everyone loves him so much."

Some of the conspiracy theorists also believe this another reference to Kanye's beloved Chicago. Not only did he and Kim name their third child (Chicago West) after his hometown, fans think it's possible the moniker "Bear" comes from the football team Chicago Bears.

Adding fuel to the fire, Kim's friend Nicole Williams left a comment on her post about her son that also included the teddy bear emoji. While most people believe this indicates the baby's name is Bear, a few others speculate his name is actually Teddy. The only name Kim has publicly revealed she was considering for her son, though, is "Rob West" after her late father and younger brother.
