Kim Kardashian has shared the first up-close photo of her and husband Kanye West’s newborn son Psalm West.

The reality star shared the new photo of baby Psalm sleeping on Instagram, where she wrote: “Psalm Ye.”

The picture of the couple’s fourth child has since been liked more than 1.3m times.

Kardashian and West welcomed the newborn via surrogate on 9 May, with the reality star announcing on Twitter: “He’s here and he’s perfect!

“He’s also Chicago’s twin lol. I’m sure he will change a lot but now he looks just like her,” she wrote, referring to the couple’s one-year-old daughter, who was born via surrogate in January 2018.

A week after the latest member of the Kardashian clan arrived, Kardashian announced his name on social media, captioning the first photo of the newborn: “Psalm West.”

Since sharing the newest photo, fans have agreed that Psalm bares a resemblance to his older sister Chicago.

“Literally looks just like Chi, obsessed,” one person wrote on Instagram.

Another said: “OMG. He’s Chi’s twin for real.”

In January, Kardashian confirmed that the couple, who are also parents to five-year-old North and three-year-old Saint, were expecting another child.
