Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed their fourth child this past Friday after the baby boy was born via surrogate. Fans and celebrities congratulated the couple on the child's arrival after Kim announced that, "he's here and he's perfect!"

Everyone has been looking to get a glimpse of the baby, but no photos have been shared yet (we don't even know his name, either). And turns out, even the boy's grandmother hasn't gotten a chance to visit him.

Kris Jenner found out Kim's surrogate was in labor during the taping of an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Kourtney Kardashian, accompanied by six of Kris' grandchildren, revealed the exciting news to her mom, who was visibly emotional after hearing it.

“What are we doing sitting here?” Jenner joked. The now grandmother-of-10, however, stuck around to finish the interview, but we assume she tried to rush to the hospital immediately afterwards.

However, Kris revealed on Friday night at the 2019 Race to Erase MS Gala that she wasn't allowed to visit the baby in the hospital. “I have a cough. So they wouldn’t let me come to the hospital. So I’m a little annoyed," she admitted to E! News.

Even though the reality television maverick hasn't met the newborn yet, she is one of the few people who's been able to see what he looks like, as she got a glimpse of him via FaceTime. Kris said, “[He is] the twin! The twin of Chicago! Same child," which is a sentiment Kim also shared on Twitter.

Kris also revealed the keys behind raising children, telling Us Weekly, "Just listen, pay attention, really talk to them, be a part of their lives. They’re all my best friends, so I couldn’t be more blessed.”

We hope Kris' cough wears off and she can formally meet her 10th grandchild sometime this week!
