Later on Tuesday, the proud grandmother of North– born about five weeks early and weighing in at 4 lb 15 oz at birth – appeared on The View. Kris, 57, explained the significance of her granddaughter's compass-inspired name. "I love the name North," Kris said of her third grandchild's moniker. "I'm pro-North, absolutely. The way [Kim] explained it to me was that North means highest power, and she says that North is their highest point together. And I thought that was really sweet." Kris, who is currently promoting her new eponymously-named show, wouldn't share any more details on the newborn. When asked for a peek at a photo of the tiny bundle of joy, the protective grandmother joked, "I'd have to kill you if I showed you my cell phone.""I'm giving birth to something on 15 July," she quipped about her upcoming talk show, Kris. "It's going to be really, really cool. It's more of a lifestyle show -- health and fitness and fashion and food. It's pop culture, obviously, because we're kind of in the middle of all of that. It's straight from the horse's mouth every day."

Kris isn't the only one delighted with the arrival of North West. It seems Kanye is showering all his love and affection on girlfriend Kim and their baby daughter. He is said to be "in love" with the baby, and didn't leave the maternity room for the first few days after her birth. The couple have since moved to a private property which remains undisclosed to the public. "He's, like, in love with the baby," said reality TV star Larsa Pippen, a close friend of Kim. "It's so cute."
