The [rumors were true](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/06/15/kim-kardashian-pregnant-baby-name-south/) — [Kanye West](http://www.people.com/people/kanye%5Fwest/) and [Kim Kardashian West](http://www.people.com/people/kim%5Fkardashian/) are expecting a son.

The reality star [broke the baby boy news](https://instagram.com/p/4N5m7OOS5G/?taken-by=kimkardashian) late Sunday on Instagram, sharing a photo of the rapper reading to 2-year-old daughter [North](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,PeoplecomTax:NorthWest,00.html) for Father’s Day

“Precious moments like this when we were traveling on tour with you are what I live for,” Kardashian West, 34, captioned the photo. “You’re such a good daddy to North & you will be the best daddy to our new son too!”

Earlier in the day, she posted a sweet picture of West, 38, giving their little girl a kiss. “I’m so lucky to be married to a man who is so in love with his daughter, your bond is so irreplaceable,” she wrote. “Thank you for being such a good dad! We love and appreciate you so much! We’re so blessed to have you!”

After a [struggle to conceive](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/06/02/kim-kardashian-west-pregnant-second-child-ivf-treatment/), the couple [announced the pregnancy](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/05/31/kim-kardashian-pregnant-kanye-west-expecting-second-child/) in May. The latest addition to the West family [will arrive in December](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/06/04/kim-kardashian-pregnant-kanye-west-told-north/) — and [won’t be named South](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/06/15/kim-kardashian-pregnant-baby-name-south/).
