In last night's Keeping Up With the Kardashians season finale, Kim Kardashian West introduced someone extremely important to the rest of her family.
The episode, which also showed a pregnant Kylie Jenner, involved a special meeting between Kim and Kanye's surrogate and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
Lorena, who carried baby Chicago West for Kim and Kanye, kept her face off-camera the entire time, but she can be heard speaking to the family. Kim has spoken at length about wanting to keep the identity of her surrogate confidential, so as to protect her privacy.
Kim's surrogate revealed on last night's episode that she, "like[s] being pregnant. I know it sounds really weird. The pregnancy itself, you know, it just feels natural, like I’m supposed to do it."
There's also an adorable moment when Lorena is chatting to Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian, who are both also pregnant.
Kim elaborated on her surrogate's pregnancy too, saying, "I didn’t really know what to expect because I don’t really know anyone that’s gone through this. It was definitely not as easy as I thought it would be emotionally, but it’s so worth it and our surrogate is such a nice person. My family absolutely loves her and I’m just so grateful."
She also tweeted about her surrogate while the episode was on air:
