'This is not America's baby' HOLLYWOOD'S MOST TALKED ABOUT PARENTS EMBRACE THEIR NEW RESPONSIBILITIES AND REVEL IN KIM'S AMAZING NEW POST-BABY BODY ©Instagram Instagram /@Kim kardashian T here's nothing like parenthood to change a person, as the saying goes. And that certainly seems to be the case when it comes to Kim Kardashian, 33, and Kanye West, 36. Since the arrival of baby North (really, we joked about that name, and then they actually went ahead with it) on 15 June this year - almost upstaging royal baby George - we've seen a far softer side to the A-listers. And this was especially evident on Kim's 33rd birthday when Kanye propsed in front of the cameras for reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians - while at a baseball game! The huge diamond sparkler is a absolute knock-out (see, left)! While Kim might not have appeared to take pregnancy exactly in her stride - those outﬁts looked so painful, we just wanted to pop her in a kaftan and a pair of Birkenstocks - it seems that the 33-year-old has taken to motherhood every bit as easily as she would take to a pair of 6in Jimmy Choos and a black xclusive 126 | E bodycon. And her close friend and founder of the Pussycat Dolls, Robin Antin, has revealed that no one is more surprised by this than Kim. 'When I walked in the room to see her, Kim was holding the baby and I said "Oh my God. You're a natural!" Kim said "I know, it's weird'." You'd think that parenting Kim-Kanye style would involve a ﬂeet of nannies, but it turns out the not-overly natural -looking reality star is, in actual fact, very much down with nature - a 'friend' of the celebrity has revealed that 'Kim is breastfeeding constantly, she's loving it'. She's even binned those killer shoes that looked as if they were cutting off all the circulation in her ankles during pregnancy, and has been regularly sporting comfy ﬂats and no make-up, while opting for massive sunglasses to cover up her weary eyes (meaning she must be getting up in the night, too). Kim and Kanye employed a nanny, as well as attending parenting classes. They get their folks involved in childcare, too; Kim's 'momager', Kris Jenner, 57, took the reins when the couple jetted off to Paris Fashion Week, and Kanye's dad Ray is a doting grandpa. >
