The surrogate, TMZ reported, lives in the San Diego area but it was not clear whether she gave birth in San Diego or Los Angeles. The surrogate's identity was not released.
According to TMZ, Kardashian used a surrogate because she has placenta accreta, a life-threatening condition where blood vessels and other parts of the placenta grow too deeply into the uterine wall.
