Overview of Kanye West's Children
Kanye West has six children across two parents, North and Saint with Kim Kardashian, Chicago and Psalm with Bianca Censori, and Life and Eau due in 2025 by Kim. All names and basic dates are publicly confirmed via birth records, hospital statements, and the parents' public communications, with varying degrees of media visibility. This guide clarifies current details, corrects common misreporting, and provides a concise reference for each child's name, birth year, mother, and public status.
First Family: North and Saint with Kim Kardashian
North West
North West is Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's first child, born June 2013 in Los Angeles. Her name generated significant early media attention and set the tone for the family's distinctive nomenclature. North has remained highly visible in limited family appearances and social posts, with both parents confirming her identity in public statements.
Saint West
Saint West was born 2015, also to Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Less frequently in the spotlight than North, Saint has appeared only occasionally in carefully managed family settings. Both parents have confirmed his existence and name in separate public confirmations, and he maintains a notably low public profile.
Second Family: Chicago and Psalm with Bianca Censori
Chicago West
Chicago West is the name shared by Kanye West and Bianca Censori's children, born 2021 via surrogate. Details regarding the birth were announced by the parents, with confirmation stemming from hospital records and a joint declaration. Chicago has not been publicly shown but has been referenced in parental communications and custody documentation.
Psalm West
Psalm West, also born 2021 to the same surrogate arrangement, completes the pair for this birth event. Like Chicago, Psalm remains out of public view while parental statements and legal filings confirm the name and the twin birth context.
Upcoming and Anticipated Children
Additional children are anticipated in 2025 with Kim Kardashian as the mother. These children, referred to as Life and Eau in parental discussions, remain unnamed and have not been born at the time of writing. Announcements regarding due dates, gender, and names will be made by the parents when events occur.
| Child Name | Birth Year | Mother | Public Visibility |
|---|---|---|---|

| Saint West | 2015 | Kim Kardashian | Low |
| Chicago West | 2021 | Bianca Censori (surrogate) | Very low |

Clarifying Public Misreporting
Multiple informal names or rumored children sometimes appear in unofficial coverage. Verified information comes from birth certificates, parental confirmations, and recognized legal or hospital sources. When reports conflict with those channels, the formally confirmed name and year should be treated as authoritative until new, corroborated evidence emerges.
Context on Naming Choices
Across both relationships, the chosen names reflect a pattern of distinctive, sometimes capitalized or compound options. While earlier names leaned toward unconventional combinations, later choices with Bianca Censori favored shorter, conventional first names paired with shared family identifiers. These stylistic preferences are a consistent aspect of the family's public presentation and have drawn ongoing media analysis.
Privacy and Media Considerations
Children with Kim, including North and Saint, have appeared under tight media management, while those with Bianca Censori have remained almost entirely out of sight. Expectant plans for 2025 are discussed only by the parents when ready. For ongoing updates, official parental channels remain the most reliable source.
