In the closing hours of Father's Day 2015 Kim Kardashian took to her mega Instagram account to not only celebrate husband Kanye West, but to share if their baby-on-the-way will be a boy or a girl.

"Precious moments like this when we were traveling on tour with you are what I live for," the reality star wrote alongside a photo of Kanye reading to their 2-year-old daughter North West.

She then added: "You're such a good daddy to North & you will be the best daddy to our new son too!"

The gossip mill had previously shouted that Kim and Kanye were expecting a boy with their 2015 pregnancy. “To say that he’s happy that she’s carrying a boy is an understatement,” a so-called insider told OK!. “One of each is perfect for them.”

Just like she dodged the topic, saying, "We actually haven’t told anyone the sex. So I heard that we’re having a boy. I heard that we’re having twins. I heard that I’m not even carrying my own baby. I’ve heard so many things and most of that information is not true.”

And speaking of rumors, the one about Kim (who named her daughter North, let's not forget) planning to name their second child South is apparently false. Mocking the idea she said during an NPR interview:

“I don’t like South West, though, because that’s like, you know, North will always, you know, be better and be more…she has a better direction. So I wouldn’t do that. I don’t think we’ll go with another direction.”

“I mean, everyone keeps on saying South and I think it’s so stupid. Stupidest thing ever and just ridiculous.”

So, there you have it, folks. Baby West is going to be a boy and the name South is off the table!

Although I can't quite keep up with all things Kim and Kanye, it's striking me at this moment how relatively subtle this reveal of baby two's sex was. The Kardashians have a reputation for being able to turn the smallest of things into a media opportunity, and yet their 'big' announcement is fairly simple compared to the gender reveals many non-famous folks opt for.

Just when I think I've got Kim figured out she goes and does something tremendously normal -- like simply telling folks if it's a boy or a girl.
