It will be the first time that either Kanye, 36, or Kim, 32, have been seen since the premature arrival of their baby girl. Reality star Kim has remained uncharacteristically quiet since welcoming her firstborn nine days ago.News of the birth was confirmed by Kim's sister Khloe and mother Kris, but so far there has been no official comment from Kim or Kanye — despite the name of their daughter North being leaked last week.Before the early arrival of her baby, Kim did admit her attitude to privacy had changed because of Kanye.She said she had become "more of a recluse" during her pregnancy as a way of "preparing to respect the privacy of my child and my boyfriend. "Kanye has been particularly vocal about his intent to keep their daughter out of the spotlight. "This is my baby. This isn't America's baby," he told the New York Times earlier this month.

The musician is said to be deeply devoted to his baby girl, reportedly calling a halt to his busy promotional schedule to spend time with her. "Kanye is already an incredibly present father. He's very relaxed and comfortable," a Kardashian family friend told People. "They're putting work aside right now to focus in the family. They're in it 100 per cent. "The couple were recently reported to be engaged, but the same source said that while it's on the agenda, Kanye is yet to pop the question. "I can't imagine them not getting married. That's in their future!"
