Kim Kardashian's baby is due in July, the reality starlet confirmed today (Tuesday) on NBC's 'Today' show. The announcement comes just a day after St. James's Palace confirmed Kate Middleton and Prince William are also expecting in July. That means the two most anticipated babies of 2013 are both due within weeks, if not days, of each other.

In fact, bookies are already placing odds on Kim and Kate giving birth the same day and the same week. "As the two of the most popular women in the world all eyes are on Kim and Kate until July, but we fancy Kate to start pushing first" a spokesman for Ladbrokes told Mail Online. Currently the bookmaker is offering a 50/1 chance the royal family of reality tv will welcome baby Kimye on the same day the future heir to the British monarch will arrive. There's a much greater chance the Duchess of Cambridge and Kim Kardashian will give birth the same week with the odds sitting at 7/1.
Neither Kim Kardashian, nor Kate Middleton, has confirmed an exact due date. Kanye West reavealed the couple's happy news on December 31, 2012. That lead many to believe Kim was at least 12 weeks at the time. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge reluctantly announced their pregnancy weeks earlier than they had hoped, after Kate was hospitalized with acute morning sickness. It's believed she'd also around 13 or 14 weeks along.
