Kanye West debuts baby North on Kris Jenner's talk show
Here she is!
The world got its first look at Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's daughter, North West, when the rapper revealed a photo of the baby girl during his appearance Friday on Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner's talk show.
The baby girl, born June 15, is the first child for Kardashian and West.
"To stop all the noise, I thought it'd be really cool, on her grandmother's season finale, to bring a picture of North," West said, clarifying that the couple has "not attempted to get paid" for the image.
During the talk show appearance, West talked about fatherhood and his relationship with Kardashian.
"I was in love with her before I ever even got to talk to her," he admitted to his girlfriend's mother on the show.
Referencing Kardashian's past relationships with professional athletes, West joked, "I wanted to be with her so bad that I thought about picking up sports."
"I can have people saying that this is going to damage your credibility as an artist or a designer, and I say, 'I don't care, I love this woman,'" he said, adding, "She's my joy, and she brought my new joy into the world. There's no paparazzi and there's no blog comments that's going to take that joy from me."
Speaking about fatherhood, the rapper joked, "I'm supposed to be this musical genius, but I can't work the car seat that well."
He also said becoming a dad has changed his outlook on life.
"After I lost my mother, there were times I felt I would put my life at risk," he said. "I felt like sometimes I didn't have something to live for. Now I have two really special people to live for, a whole family to live for, a whole world to live for."
