Kim Kardashian certainly knows how to make an announcement.

On a day dedicated to fathers all over the world, the reality TV star took to social media to congratulate husband Kanye West for being the “best daddy” to their daughter North, and to announce to her followers that the couple are expecting a baby boy.

“Precious moments like this when we were traveling on tour with you are what I live for,” she tweeted with a picture of West reading to his daughter, who is pictured sitting on his lap.

“You’re such a good daddy to North & you will be the best daddy to our new son too!” she added, with four emoticons showing a man, a woman, a girl and a boy.

Kardashian first shared the news of her new pregnancy three weeks ago in a preview episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, in which she was heard saying “I just got the blood test back, I am pregnant!”
