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."
One
night after the impromptu announcement, West and Kardashian celebrated New
Year's Eve at 1 Oak Nightclub at The Mirage in Las Vegas, and posed for pictures
together on the red carpet.
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.
