It was the announcement heard ’round the world: While performing in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Dec. 30, 2012, Kanye West revealed that then-girlfriend Kim Kardashian West was pregnant with their first child.

 

“Stop the music for a second. Can we make some noise for my baby mama?” the rapper asked mid-show as Kim watched from the audience. The next night, the couple rang in the New Year together in Las Vegas — Kanye protectively kept his hands on the reality star’s burgeoning baby bump as photographers snapped away — and nearly six months later, their daughter, North West, arrived.[/nextpage][nextpage]
