Kim Kardashian Baby Will Not Be On TV For Six Months, Says Source
After Kanye West announced Kim Kardashian's pregnancy at his Atlantic City concert on Dec. 30, the president of E! announced that the network looks "forward to sharing the joy" with the proud parents-to-be.
The statement prompted speculation that the power couple will get their own spin-off reality show and feature the baby on E!'s "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." According to a new report, the couple does not intend to introduce their child to television for "the first six months."
Kardashian, 31, "doesn't even want the baby to be seen for the first six months," a source told Us Weekly. She is even "ready to dial back from being so public" the insider added. The source close to the situation stated that the first-time parents "have decided as a family that their baby is not going to be on the shows."
Kardashian had shared that she had no plans on putting her first child in a reality show. When asked by Us Weekly if her unborn child would be on television, she replied simply, "No."
Kardashian and West have not only declined to have their child appear on television but they reportedly also turned down a hefty $3 million offer from a tabloid for their baby's first pictures.
Sources reportedly told TMZ that the couple has already been besieged with deals from magazines competing to grab the first photos and feature the couple's newborn in their publication. The $3 million offer came from a media company overseas. At the moment, the couple have no plans to earn wages off of their newborn's photos. They also know that the offers can increase over time, so they will likely consider it in the future.
If the couple were to secure such a deal, it would be compared to some of the entertainment industry's highest deals with magazines for exclusive baby pictures including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie who received a whopping $4.1, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony who reportedly received $6 million. Actor Matthew McConaughey earned $3 million for his first son's photos.
The decision may come as a shock to the reality show's fans. Her sister Kourtney's two children appear on "Keeping Up with The Kardashians." Mason, 3, and Penelope, 6 months, also filmed in Miami with the sisters for the upcoming "Kourtney and Kim Take Miami." Kourtney has also appeared on the cover of several magazines with her children.
